We need a way to store ship components - Alternatively, bookmarks and note taking

Hello! I posted this on reddit yesterday and several people suggested i should post this here, so here it is.
This is a copy paste of my reddit post.

Each station doesn't sell all available ship components, this means that you may be far away from where you can get a particular weapon or FSD, or like in my case, don't remember where you found it.
I want to try mining, but i'm hesitant to sell my guns because it took me a while to find them in the first place, and i don't remember where it was. If only i could store my guns while i'm not using them.
I've seen the "Buy-back" option, but it doesn't last forever. I'm not sure when exactly it goes away.
Alternatively, being able to bookmark stations and make notes about them would solve the problem. But i'd prefer to have both to be honest :)
Pen and paper solves this, and i will be using that from now on, or until they provide a better solution, it's just unnecessary. We're talking about a game with 400 billions stars, i don't know how bookmarking and note taking tools slipped their minds :)

There are good follow up suggestions there from other CMDR's, worth a read for interested developers *Hint*

I agree. Why not give us the option to buy/rent a storage compartment on a specific station? Seems perfectly reasonable. The current system makes a simple refit unnecessarily tedious.

Also tabs on the side of the outfitter menu. For example when checking internal compartement you have a mix of every module. Very tough to sift through. Tabs on the left side going downwards with the menu like "shields", "scanners", "fuel scoops" etc. Also with weapons "lasers", "cannons" etc. Click the tab and only that comes up.

Not really your suggestion - which i agree with - storage space to pay for maybe per day (small sum) so that you can go out and mine around that station/system and then come back and sell your mining laser/store it and bring out your weapons again and screw them on. That would be very nice.

With regards to the bookmarking suggestion in the original post, can we also have a way to alias system names for those ad hoc runs? I'm sure someone thought it a great idea to name some of these systems with 15-20+ character names which are not easy to remember but if one of them happens to be 50ly away and has a good price for a given commodity I want to just alias that with a simple name so I don't have to try and type it in every time I go to the route planner especially if I'm fuel scooping

I'd mainly like to see at least the ability to store modules in the cargo racks, but station storage is a very close second.

It dose not sound bad. But there could be problems. As some system change over time. The info might change.

Now storing guns and such. Might not be the best idea. But a better idea. Might be is have your own specialized ships.

sounds great but i want it in the game lol. I use rift 2 and its tough to use it outside the game. It will be great if it can be integrated with voice attack.

depending on the size of the guns you can always buy a ship to store them on, when you sell items from one ship and swap to another the items you sold remain in the buyback menu. buying a ship also bookmarks the location for you, it may cost you due to the slight loss when you sell the ship again but if the guns you have are that hard to find it will be worth it.

and lets face it, if your off to scoop tonnes of palladium the loss will be a 'miner' problem :D
