Stored ships count per station
- Thread starter Bier00t
- Start date
There are 2 potential solutions here:
The first option would be to do as you have done and ask FDev for another 2 ship storage slots at every shipyard (with additional slots for every new ship added in the future). I don't know how ship data is stored on FDev's servers, but my guess would be that each stored ship has a value that represents the station that it is stored at. If this is the case, I cannot think of a reason why it would not be possible to increase the maximum number of ships that can be stored at a single shipyard, as there is no limiting factor in the game other than an seemingly arbitrary number. The main argument against this would be that a station could not possibly have the space to store an infinite number of ships, and that the limit should not be raised because of immersion; however, this argument quickly falls apart when you consider that any player can store 35 Belugas at any station with a shipyard and large landing pad, and completely crumbles when said player can get everyone on their friends list to do the same thing without anyone having any issues.....
The other option would be to take matters into your own hands and take out the trash. By saying that you own every ship in the game, you are saying that you own a Beluga, a Cobra IV, a Crusader, and an AspS. The one thing that these ship have in common is that they (in their current forms) all bear a striking resemblance to a dumpster fire. I'm pretty sure you can part with at least 2 of these ships. Seriously, the hardest decision you should be making here is which of these ships is actually useful enough to warrant not being scrapped

Here an idea. Find a station that has more than one station. I like to pick a system that has 3 or more large Stations. Low end in one. Mid-range in another and High-end ships in the last. Or usage type.
For my self, My ships are set up in locations best used at. Like exploration, it set up at the edge. Combat I tend to be in combat zones. Traders tend to be in areas I make the most money.

Thing is there is 38 regular ships in game, Jameson Orbital has them all and also all outfitting parts are there too - so if I want to experiment or change some loadouts there is no better place to do that.
Another thing is that FDev changed possible number of stored ships many times in the past so that is possible for sure. Im not sure but I have vague memory that they also promised to bring this number up again in 3.3 - so maybe they just forgot?
I dont want to sacrifice any of my ships - they all have some purpose - I often fly them just for fun - its my little fleet and I like to keep them together to get easy access... Also having a lot of paintjobs for them so dont want to throw anything away too.

Here a question for you. Do you use all 38 ships? See I would have all my Major ships in Jameson Orbital and my minor ships in some of the smaller station in Founders worlds. You know the ships that you bearly use.
Well I test a lot of things - as you can see below I manage spreadsheet containing all ship models with all their stats so to test and describe all ships I need access to all of them as quickly as possible. Also I often pick a random ship and fly it just for the fun of it. Now two of my ships have to be in separate place and I have to spend additional 5 minutes to get to them.

5 Minutes is not a big deal. You can pick ships you rarely fly.
Here a trick I do because I want to access to Exploration and Trading and Combat. I have access to 3 accounts. So I don't have to change different builds.
Well considering it now takes me about a second to get to such ship it now will take me 300 times longer to do that. And I have to choose which ship to abandon this way.
3 accounts is a nice trick when but this is real money - also doing everything again from scratch - eh...

No one saying to abandon your ships. Just relocate them and 5 Minutes is not a big deal.
Question do you want Elite Dangerous to last a long time or not? We are not dealing with Pay to play or pay to win. But a game you don't have to pay anything. If we can support it by Paint jobs or another account It will help Frontier keep Elite Dangerous running a long time.
Note with different accounts you can pick what you want to do that day. Not be stuck being in a middle of nowhere.
