You're not alluding to the possibility of microtransactions by any chance?
If so, that's just an inherent possibility that will always loom over Elite.

Yes, that is indeed an important effect of the Broker.
It will have a very positive effect on materials gathering in general.
Haven't even thought of that yet, but that's also a possibility... "For only 1350 Frontier points you can buy a x7 Materials booster pack that will increase your material gathering to 5 per item instead of 3! You'll be blasting Thargoids in no time!" I was more thinking in terms of how MMOs become laden with more and more currency types with prices that inflate over time as more things are added. It can become very... well.. grindy. We'll see.. I remain cautious. For now, I'll try to look at it as a helpful tool, but outlook is going to be dependent on the final conversion rates.

I think its a step in the right direction. I think the materials limit should not be 100 across the board but rather a much smaller starting point say twenty of each and then you upgrade as engineered add on and have to allocate across the materials. That way depending on your play style certain materials might be more important, so you would allocate to them. Allowing you a higher ceiling of certain components, subject to an overall maximum number of materials to be stored.
That would just over complicate things. Plenty of people do everything over time, so what, we reallocate when we feel like doing something else? What about if I like to upgrade everything on my ship and need nearly the full range of materials? Seems like a waste and limits the player too much.
