Game Mechanics

The Datapad is used for storing data, including:

  • Waypoints
  • Pet Control Devices
  • Vehicle Control Devices
  • Starship Control Devices
  • Mission details
  • Quest Details
  • Manufacturing Schematics
  • Miscellaneous objects:
    • Warren Evidence Disks
    • Warren Encryption Key
    • Radiation Sensor (village of aurillia)

Data Pad Storage Capacity

Player datapads have a storage capacity of 100 units, measured through percentages. Each object added to the datapad, consumes a certain amount of this space. Waypoints consume 0 units of this space but have their own hard cap limitations (100 total waypoints). Other objects consume 1 point of space per object.

Note: Originally during pre-cu the datapad size attribute on manufacturing schematics took up the amount of space listed by that attribute whenever a schematic for that object was saved to the datapad. At some point SOE changed the datapad storage consumption of manufacturing schematics to uniformly only require one point.
