Topic: Various Container mechanics

  • Volume Display
    I noticed that i can use SynSec Container displaying how much you have in them, but regular storage container wont.

    why not?

  • Naming and placement on market

    Field container can be found under "Field accessories\Container accessories"
    SynSec container can be found under its own main  market category
    Private storage container can be found in right-click dropdown menu
    Corporation storages are created from corporation management window
    Corporation sotrage sub-container are created by right-click dropdown, and called "folder"

    cant we unify that a bit?

  • Field-container
    1. disposable item, has to be bought  at terminal
    2. cannot be recovered
    3. unlimited space, but not beeing able to stack its content
    4. still dislike the squad-only free access instead of option for corp access
    5. masking container is far to low. visibility doesnt differ between squadmates and others

    each point can be improved alot with existing game mechanics.

Re: Various Container mechanics

Suggestions:

  • Volume Display
    Add it to regular infinite storage container too.

  • Naming and Placement on market
    Place all container in the new "Container" main category. Should be easy to do with storage- and fieldcontainer. Corporation storages and subfolder is probably too much effort necessary to put on market.

Field Container

  1. leave the disposable, but make it possible to simply request one on terrain from robot cargo.

  2. or make them buildable items, that can be recovered after usage like terraforming beacons.

  3. beeing able to stack stuff in fieldcontainer is probably requested since their implementation...
    just do it - but no autostack.

  4. When i place a fieldcan, its already asking me to type in a code - that window could also contain three checkboxes for "free access", "free squad access" and "free corp access" - with squad checked as default

  5. give them much higher default masking, but treat them like squadmembers (always visible)
