Files and the Cargobay

Files

Ops → Files holds what the AI saved for you: scripts, reports, notes and CSVs from away missions, and files you asked it to keep from a chat. Click one to read it; Download saves a copy; Delete removes Starfarer's copy.

With PC hands, you can pick a folder on the Starbase PC (your PIN, once) and each new file is copied there too. Nothing in it is ever overwritten (a name that's taken gets a number), saving never runs anything, and the folder must be on the PC itself: never a network share, a whole drive, Windows, Program Files, a Startup folder or Starfarer's own.

Scripts the AI writes play safe: one that renames, moves, deletes or overwrites anything only shows what it would do until it's run with -Apply (or --apply), unless you asked for the changes straight away.

Your files are yours only, the Captain included.

The Cargobay

Ops → Cargobay keeps your big videos, pictures and sound on Starbase's disk.

  • Choose files or drop them on it: any size, up to your space. They go up a piece at a time, one after another, with Pause and Cancel. One that stops part way (the connection drops, the page closes) carries on from where it stopped when you pick it again.
  • Only videos, pictures and sound, told by what's in the file, not its name.
  • Click one to open it: a picture shows, a video or sound plays (the kinds a browser can play).
  • Download saves a copy. Move puts it in a folder on the Starbase PC (PC hands and your PIN; nothing there is overwritten). Delete removes it for good. Otherwise it stays.
  • Something over 100 MB dropped on a chat offers Send it to your Cargobay instead. A Starship can send straight from its disk ("send drone.mp4 to my cargobay").

The AI never reads them: it sees the list ("what's in my cargobay?", "how much room is left?"), looks at a picture when you ask, and can move or delete one with your OK and PIN.

Each person's space is set by the Captain (Cargobay settings). Your Cargobay is yours only, the Captain included; the audit log keeps each file's kind and size, never its name.
