* Large (LSAA) - (3) lines, T1 Battleships, T1 Freighters, T1 Industrial Command Ships

Large Ship Assembly Arrays are also commonly used as bulk storage because they hold 18.5M m3 (18.5 million) of stuff and have corporate hangar tab organization. While an LSAA uses up 4x the CPU of a SSAA (250tf vs 1000tf) and 3x the PG of a SSAA (100k MW vs 300k MW), the old NPC ~~prices for a LSAA vs SSAA were both~~ 80M ISK. In ~~the future~~, ~~now~~ that [[Planetary Interaction]] is in ~~place~~ and ~~ship assembly~~ arrays ~~are player-made~~, the ~~prices between~~ the ~~three tiers may be different enough~~ to ~~matter~~. For the ~~record,~~ a SSAA ~~holds 2M m3 of cargo~~ and a MSAA ~~holds~~ 2M m3 of ~~cargo compared to~~ the 18.5M m3 ~~on an~~ LSAA.

Under the old system where arrays were NPC-sold, all three sizes cost about 80M ISK. In 2010, CCP changed things so that players would have to use resources from [[Planetary Interaction]] in order to construct the arrays. Currently, small arrays sell for about 50M ISK, medium arrays for 55M ISK and large arrays for 60M ISK. Therefore, the cost of the ship assembly array's size is not a major factor in the decision of which array to use.

For hi-sec use, where you have manufacturing slots available in nearby stations (which are far cheaper on a per-hour basis), the only real use of a ship assembly array is bulk storage. The SSAA and MSAA both hold 2M m3 of materials, while the LSAA holds a massive 18.5M m3. All sizes of ship assembly arrays have corporate hangar tabs to make organization easier. However, while the LSAA holds 9x more cargo then the SSAA/MSAA siblings, it only requires 4x the CPU and 3x the PG of the SSAA. So for bulk storage in a hi-sec POS, the LSAA is a very popular choice.

In order for a member to use a Ship Assembly Array as storage, you must grant them one of the following roles:
