How to get Shielded Cargo in Starfield
To get Shielded Cargo in Starfield, you must either purchase it for your ship, or find a new ship that already has Shielded Cargo installed.
To see if a ship has Shielded Cargo installed, open your ship menu and look at the Cargo Capacity stat on the left side of the screen. Just below that, you’ll see “Shielded Capacity”, and the following number indicates how much Shielded Cargo space you have.

To purchase Shielded Cargo, you must go to the Red Mile on Porrima III, in the Porrima system. Once you land, head into the Red Mile and past the ship services desk, before turning right and passing through the door.
Speak to Lon Anderssen and ask to see what parts he has for sale. Then, open up the Ship Builder menu and scroll across to the Cargo modules.
There, you’ll find Shielded Cargo modules for sale, which you can manually add onto your ship.
