I have a dream of being a smuggler in the PTU. Will I be able to create hidden compartments in my ship to hide certain items?asked by Twitch

TL;DRSmuggling with hidden compartments is intended and will let players install items such as false bottoms, but the design isn't finalized and it won't be in 2.0, since simpler gameplay comes first.

Yes. We are absolutely going to have that. We're going to have the ability, we're trying to think of how to do smuggler caches, cause obviously we want to have some creativity up to the player, so it's not like "Here's always the secret compartment in the Constellation" cause obviously then law enforcement will know where to look.We still have to finalise the design on that, but the intention is to allow you to buy, purchase or install certain items that could potentially have false bottoms or all that kind of stuff to hide some cargo and then maybe if someone's playing the role of an officer or something or an NPC they can come in and board you and they check your ship out and give you a pass and you fly on smuggling that contraband and stuff like that. That's absolutely going to be part of the gameplay.It's a long term, obviously not happening in 2.0 cause there's some more basic gameplay like cargo hauling those kinds of things, bounty hunting, mercenary escort missions. They will probably happen first but smuggling's definitely on the list and it's kind of a fun one involves interaction with other NPCs and potentially other players so yes you'll be able to do that.
