Inventory Mechanics You have a special menu called your "Inventory" that lets you carry the items you find in Star Wars Galaxies. You can reach it either by pressing CTRL-I or by pressing the inventory button on your button bar in the lower left corner of the screen. You can identify the inventory icon, on the button bar, with a suitcase. Your Inventory has a limited capacity, and there's a bar at the bottom showing you how much room you've taken up. Items that are currently equipped or are being worn will show up with a green background. The inventory may hold up to 80 items. Equipped items count towards the limit. Players are not allowed to exceed this amount. After finding a container or corpse with items in it, you'll probably want to drag those items to your inventory. To use an item or piece of equipment, simply left click and hold on the item in your inventory. The radial menu will pop up displaying the options you have for manipulating that object. If the object is a piece of clothing, armor or a weapon, you will have the option to equip it. This will place the item onto your character. You can also do this quickly by double clicking the item in your inventory. Items that are currently being worn or are equipped on your character will highlighted in green. If the object is a piece of food, a medical stim pack, crafting tool or similar item, there will be a "Use" option. If you click your mouse over the use option, more options may appear specific for the item. For instance, you can hold your mouse button on a surveying tool. The "Use" and "Examine" choice will expand from the activated radial menu. If you move your cursor to "Use", and continue to hold down the mouse button, you will additionally receive a new option to choose beneath it. Other typical options for using items from the inventory include the "Split" radial used to take stacked items apart into smaller pieces. Additionally there are the drink/eat options to consume foods and beverages. There is also the "Repair" option for using repair tools, and the Drop option to remove items from the inventory and place them inside a structure or into the world such as in using certain instruments, dropping vendors, or placing objects into a player structure. Containers Some objects are containers, and one of the choices on the radial menu will be "Open". (If it's an NPC's corpse, the option will be called "Loot" instead, but it means the same thing). When you open a container, you will see a container window. This window shows you the contents of the container. You can pick things out from the container and drag them into another container or into your inventory or use the Pickup radial on the object inside the container to automatically obtain the item. There are basically six types of containers: 1. World Container Objects: These include bins, trash piles, static corpses, treasure boxes, and mag seal containers. 2. Lootable Containers such as locked containers 3. Mob Corpses/player inventory 4. Player Crafted Clothing such as backpacks/bandoliers 5 All player crafted chests, cabinests, armoires, book cases, and toolchests are containers that can store up to 50 items each. The items in the container do count towards your housing inventory. 6. Crafting station and crafting tool hoppers. While these items do have their differences, there are some common aspects between them such as finite capacities. All containers have a specific carrying capacity to which no more objects can be placed into.
