Apologies if this has been discussed and I missed it or if too obvious. For those players without a FC wanting to store some of their commodities and based on what we know so far about FC trading mechanics, there may actually be a way for them to do it. This would necessitate an existing FC owner willing to co-operate (possibly for a fee?).
1 - FC owner issues a purchase order for the commodity and tons a given commander would like to store, for an agreeable but arbitrary price
2 - The commander sells the commodity as per purchase order and his/her commodities then get stored in the FC
3 - When the commander needs to withdraw his/her commodities the FC owner issues a sell order for the tons stored and at the same arbitrary price as step 1
4 - The commander buys the commodities at the arbitrary price and sets off with his cargo
Note: The FC owner could eventually impose a fee if the commander agrees etc.
Note 2: This would also require the FC owner and commander to manage an offline accounting of what cargo belongs to whom and at what price etc.
Unless I have misunderstood, which is quite possible, the proposed system by FDEV already allows de facto storing commodities for other commanders, subject to an honorable FC owner.
The idea is simple enough. Now that being the case, might aswell code the feature in, including maybe a service fee, and be done with it?
