All items and ships which are manufactured or bought from the market are in a '''packaged''' state. Before they can be used they must first be '''assembled'''.

~~To sell your~~ ships ~~and modules on~~ the market~~, you~~ must first ~~repackage them so the buyer can be certain of receiving his goods in perfect condition. If your item is damaged, however, you will not~~ be ~~able to repackage it until it has been repaired~~.

~~The repair procedure is as follows:~~

== Assembling ==

* ~~Open the Repairshop by clicking on the corresponding icon in the Station Services menu.~~

* To assemble a packaged ship, right-click on it and select "Assemble".

* In the Repairshop window, double click on the item you wish to repair. If it's a ship, ~~a list of modules located onboard will be displayed along with the vessel. At~~

* Modules are automatically assembled when they are fitted to a ship.

~~: the bottom of the screen you can select "Repair All" to repair the ship and any damaged modules or drones within it.~~

* Once the ship or module has been repaired you can right-click on it and select ~~the~~ "~~Repackage~~" ~~option~~. ~~Fitted ships will be stripped and the modules placed in your~~

~~: inventory (except rigs). It is then possible~~ to ~~place the item on the market~~.

~~<p style="color:red;">'''''PLEASE NOTE THAT INSURANCE WILL BE CANCELED WITHOUT A REFUND AND RIGS DESTROYED WHEN A SHIP IS REPACKAGED! '''''</p>~~

Packaged ships and modules have a number in the bottom-right corner of their icon (indicating how many identical items are stacked together). Assembled ships and modules don't have this number and cannot be stacked.

If a ~~ship has been upgraded with rigs, then~~ the ~~rigs will be destroyed when the ship is repackaged~~. ~~It is possible to sell upgraded~~ ships ~~via the contracts (Auction, Item Exchange) system without repackaging them~~.

~~Repackaged~~ ships ~~have~~ a ~~much smaller~~ volume and can ~~be transported more easily~~ in ~~industrial ships or freighters~~.

== Repackaging ==

Assembled ships and modules can be repackaged, in order to:

* Sell them on the [[trading|market]], as only packaged modules and ships can be sold on the market. Assembled ships and items can only be traded via [[contracts]].

* Reduce the size of ships in order to transport them (e.g. in a [[Hauler]]), as packaged ships take up far less space than assembled ships. Note that, for modules, there is no difference in volume between packaged and assembled modules.

** However, keep in mind that repackaging a ship unfits all its modules, destroys any [[rigs]] that are currently fitted, and will cancel any [[insurance]] (with no refund) on the ship. If you wish to transport assembled ships, you can use a ship with a "Ship Maintenance Bay" (e.g. the [[Bowhead]], [[Nestor]], and all [[Capital Ship|capital ships]]), which is a specialized cargo bay for carrying assembled ships.

* Simplify inventory management, as packaged ships and items stack, making it easier to see what items/ships you have in your hangars.

~~Repackaging also allows you to clean up and shorten your inventory list by stacking multiple identical items and ships. If you change out modules and/~~or ~~drones often~~, ~~then repackaging them~~ on ~~a regular basis~~, ~~as well as using inventory filters, will save you a lot of time browsing your inventory~~.

=== How To Repackage ===

To repackage a module or ship, right-click on the item, and select "Repackage".

~~As of EVE Online~~: ~~Odyssey,~~ modules ~~and drones can be repackaged~~ in ~~starbase arrays~~ (~~POSs~~).

Keep in mind:

* You can only repackage modules/ships that are in a station hangar; you cannot repackage items in a ship's cargo bay in a cargo container (even if the cargo container is in a station hangar)

* You must first repair any damage (e.g. caused by [[overheating]] or combat) before repackaging. You can repair ships and modules in stations with a Repair Service.

* You cannot repackage a ship you are currently on board.
