I hope they would do something soon. Being able to store materials and at the very least engineering commodities would make this actually fun instead of frustrating. Heck or at least let us keep cargo in our stored ships and significantly increase the materials and data we can store.
It's why I don't even bother.
Seems as though FD is the ULTIMATE GRIEFER since they STICK IT TOO SO MANY POTENTIAL PLAYERS by making the game almost impossible and annoying because they refuse to implement simple game changes like storage for mats for mod engineering etc. Just a bunch of control freaks.
We are the customers yes. The customer is King. Without the customer, there are no pay days. I don't feel too strongly about this 'material storage' feature myself but the OP does, and the Cmdr who posted a text wall in response to your advice obviously does. And their money has the same value as mine.
This is such an important point. And despite saying you want to make it clear, I don't think it's made strongly enough. Cmdr "wall of text' said something (and I'm paraphrasing) 'easy to make a patch in 3-4 days with this feature in it'. Hmm - No. That's not how a software development plan works. If you take a side road from the plan when a customer piles on the pressure, you endanger all future deadlines and compromise quality, especially if - like Frontier - you have no proper testing environment. InlineSix is quite right to imply that each line in the 2.2 change log represents a lot of work on the part of the dev.
In my humble opinion it's quite right for people to vent their frustration. It's an interesting fact that reading peoples rants' actually helps me because I have my own frustrations with 2.2 but they pale into insignificance when I read about the pain of others. Although some of that pain is self-inflicted.
This situation won't change unless the community mobilises themselves into an ordered mass with an agenda. InlineSix is quite right to rail against 'whining' because Frontier won't listen to a mob. If people feel strongly enough about the short-comings in ED, they should band together and produce one reasonable voice, rather than a gaggle of whinings, however justified they may be.
I am pretty amazed that nothing was added in 2.2
I am very happy with all the improvements but I still find Engineers very awkward to engage with in general play because of this limitation.
Pretty sure there has not even been any official word from FD that they even plan to address the issue.

FD wants you to figure what will be useful later instead of hoarding everything you come across.
And if I decide just 10T of stuff is useful, I have to carry it around until I finally use it? And in the meantime I can't hop into my Eagle or Asp as they have <10T of cargo space? And in the meantime, any Wanteds treat me like I have a huge glowing target on my rear end?
And this is by (good) design?

What ever it is... We need it ASAP IMHO!
This is exactly why I don't play this game anymore! I complete a mission and receive 2T of rubber hoses (odd as it is) and suddenly every pirate within 10Ly knows I have them and has a bulls-eye painted on my . What kind of poor game design is that ? The rest of you players can have it , I've been gone since engineers came out......I won't EVEN CONSIDER spending any more of my money (or gaming time) on this game till it's fixed.
On a brighter note : I love this forum that they created works great. I really do like reading it..
We get to vent and rant and shake are fists (through are toys from the pram as you say
) in almost complete silence from FD........ Pffffffttt

I support that massive vote a million times ! Please make our grind great again
More seriously, it would really ease the process of taking care of our beloved ships by managing the required resources to optimize their modules and specific roles.
As a newcomer in the whole engineers process, I'd drop the ball if I have to go back and forth loosing some materials I would have collected earlier. My playtime is too precious for that kind of game mechanics.

I missed the voting, but i vote yes, need storage. Brandon31 ++, Frontier Devs are kinda dumb... I think that Frontier team is full of old people, because the games design is kinda from 2009, everything happens through menus, no actions no animations no nothing, just press buttons(i mean more like these passenger missions, like another cargo delivery).
