Yes and it flows through to the skill system too. 8 points for carrying more crap across yourself and the ship, and 4 more for increasing companion inv. Even more if you include pockets upgrades on suits.

Are these good skills? Not for the player to choose but to be available in the game. What's the balance here? What's the decision, carry more crap at the expense of doing more damage? Is that good choice to give the player? How do you balance encounter difficulty around that? You can't the player has to choose encounters based on their gimped pack rat skills.

Every part of the game needs a single big mod overhaul to pick a coherent direction.
