Storage

[PauloG01]

It would be great if we where allowed to store the commodities that we carry for later use, the same applies to limpets that we have to sell when we want so change to a small cargo capacity ship, this just doesn't make sense.
One solution could be the possibility to rent or buy storage space in stations/outposts/Bases, as this could take some time to implement if ever, what if we could use our ships as storage, it just doesn't make sense that we have so much storage available in our ships and we can't use it. Of course the ships need to be at the same station. As an example, i arrive at a station with my medium mining vessel full of painite and i transfer it to a cargo ship that i have parked there so i can go back and get more, the same idea could be applied to many other situations and i thing it would be a great improvement.

I support this proposal.

I'd like to be able to store items, as I've had to go get Thargoid stuff and Guardian stuff each time I've visited the ruins, etc.
I can't see it happening, though, as I understand FD don't want it - people would use it as a 'buy low / sell high' stocks and shares scenario without having to ever leave the station.

I would be ok for Limpets. Anything else NO.

1 Some things have a due date before expiring Like food and such.

2 The player will wait for a Boom in a nearby station and sell the good for a high price.

One of the bigger issue is that so many things could potentially abuse this system. There are alot of very creative people out there thinking on ways to test the system.




Limpets is a mess, and FDev knows this. So lets see what they can come up with.

But I would be OK if ships could get stored with their limpets and without asking. So you can skip the try to switch ships, can't because the other ships cannot hold all the limpets, so sell all limpets, and now change ships, forgetting to new limpets and leave station without them...

Or an option to sell Limpets automatically. So you have a choice when you store your ship. Store limpets Up to Largest ship can allow. Or if the smaller ship can only hold 32 Limpets it can either hold Limpets and store the rest on a larger ship or Automatomatically sell the Extra Limpets.
