My modules keep at rather steady 80 - 90. I do hoard PP modules, but I foolishly got too few of many of them the first when I first went through the Powers and now have to do a second round for the ones I really like. For ships I tend to keep a static build once it's 'finished' and not change it unless I'm radically altering the ship's purpose. I also don't get too attached to my engineered modules because I have been thinking I can easily always engineer more. Recently I have been engineering a number of ships in rapid succession and am actually having some material shortages. I barely remember the last time I had that problem.
Module storage is too little to keep players long term

I'm running near the 120 limit, but actually looking at what's in there shows that I'm keeping quite a bit of rubbish around. We definitely need improvements to filtering etc. but that's only so we can identify keep it free of the stuff that's easily bought at a nearby station.

I'll just buy more than one of the same ship if I want to use it for different things and then just have it fitted for that specific purpose and switch out ships between combat, mining/trade and exploration. if you're already buying ships to put modules in you might as well be using them, right?
This.Not so much more space (though that would not hurt) but better management tools for Modules and Stored ships.
Here is a good example of some filters Fdev can use https://inara.cz/cmdr-all-modules/21899/
Also show all module class #
Transfer of modules from stored ships to another ship would be nice. Having to swap ship then the goto Outfitting then goto hardpoints store a weapon then back to swap ship then outfitting then hardpoints then add a weapon, when transfer weapon/module from ship #2 to ship #1 is a bit better
Templates would be nice too.
I really don't want more module storage space if that means more scrolling and searching for modules through even longer list.
I would love to see that part reworked and improved though.
While I am occasionally annoyed by the lack of module storage, I think the limit is a reasonable constraint, especially when it comes to legacy modules that have no currently attainable equivalent...I've been pairing down my CMDR's but he's still got more than a dozen.
Not opposed to more storage, but I'd like it at least be a credit sink and for legacy modules to vanish first. Also, I was a long term player well before there was any module storage, outside of using ships, at all.
Better module filters and list organization is a must though.

He left, over a year ago. Hence why last seen over a year ago.
Micro second Google search also confirmed that.
I play the game since 5 years and never bothered about module space.
Sincerely,
A long time player

If you say you want more module space because you need it, fair enough. As an argument that's as good as it gets, you don't need to fabricate some random doom scenario in order to make your point.
I wouldn't mind an additional 80 slots of storage. Someone said 1000, that'd be way too much. Or perhaps you could only store 120 at each individual station by as others had mentioned, with a much need way of filtering what modules you're looking for

No but having a bunch of storage ships is a bit annoying, would be nice if we could have some more storage and be able to load modules as cargo so we can haul them around ourselves
I tend to keep anything I have modded because selling them does not return any mats and mats are annoying to collect !
So... I have 53 ships
17 of which are outfitted, modded and I use.
25 of which are module storage ships.
The rest are just waiting to be outfitted.
I recently spent a day shifting modules from station storage to ship storage, so now I only have 35 station stored modules.
I went a bit crazy with enforcer cannons (possibly drunk) I own 26 of them for some reason ?

No. We need more mods so they can swiftly delete idiotic posts such as this one.
I use Belugas, one for hammers, one for pacifiers, one for packhounds ...
I'm not particularly fussed on module storage. I've got almost 2400 hours in this game and that's probably not what will make me stop playing. What I would like to see is some way I can trash or recycle engineered modules that I no longer need and to recoup at least some of the materials used.
Beyond a few engineered modules and a set up of mining kit in a handy station close to a good mining spot I don't have much in storage at all. There's no need to store standard modules, especially if you have access to Jameson Memorial
OK, so some of you don't need additional space, that's fine. What's the harm in giving people who need it additional space? If you don't need it, you won't have to use it.
It wouldn't even have to be that much more, given we had some sort of improved interface for managing modules.

increased module storage I personally would say is far down the list of important features needed in the game imo.
but it is not for me to say you are wrong, we all have our own wishes and what not, all as important to us as anything else.
I'm concerned that you have turned into a hoarder. You need to sell all but 20 of your stored modules. If you can't, you've got a hoarding problem and you need help.
