In No Man’s Sky, a single starship can hold up to 48 inventory slots in the classic ship inventory system.

Quick Scoop

That max is for the ship’s main cargo/inventory space, not counting separate tech or supercharged slots introduced in later updates.

What matters

  • Early ships can start much smaller, and the slot count varies by ship class and type.
  • Inventory limits changed over time, so older guides may mention lower caps like 30–48 depending on the era of the game.
  • If you mean total ship storage across all categories , that can be higher once tech slots are included, but the common “how many slots can a ship have” answer is 48 main inventory slots.

TL;DR: A ship can have 48 main slots in No Man’s Sky.
