Why do guns take cargo space?

[Geolog]

Your logic is flawed as well.

There is a clear difference between ''cargo hold'' and ''other parts of the ship''. For example: those cables you speak of are not stocked and siting in cargo bay. They run through walls of the ship, through floor and ceiling.

On the other hand cargo bay is meant for ''cargo only'', for commodities. Those cables could only be taking cargo space if they were a commodity to be shipped from one place to another.
