Bank Slots/Inventory Slots

edited October 2011 in C-Store, ZEN, and Promotions
A short time back, I went into the C-Store and Bought some extra Slots for some of my Toons for the Bank, and for the Inventory. Mixed in with the Mud in the back of my mind, I believe they were at one time, the same price for each choice.

Yesterday, I stopped in there to see what might be new, and what I might find worth picking up. When I got to the Tab with Bank and Cargo Slots, I saw that the Bank Slots were now 160 points for 12, were as the Cargo Slots were 320 points for 6. Double the Price, for Half as many??

Both items are added to the toon with a Magic Wand Wave of Code when the purchase is made. Why is the Price difference so Vast?

Seeing what I saw, I was tempted to Buy more Bank Slots, and Discouraged from Buying Inventory Slots.

    One of the reasons for the price difference is that personal inventory is 'hot' storage... (Damm, we used our last Shield battery and the mission Boss is approaching..., now where did I store that extra stack...) while Bank is for long term off-line storage, and can't be accessed during a mission to restock your crew, or to store data samples and item drops that you come across...

    Now if you never run out of inventory space, you don't have to purchase inventory slots...

    Of course, if you have the Azura Comm Code thingy you can call your bank to you between missions. Heck, you can even abort, stock up from the Azura, then re-enter the mission at the same stage you left it. So no reason to buy Inventory slots at all.

    On the website store they're both listed as being for 12 slots...the prices you list are correct.

    Yep, I see you are right. It is Two Rows of Cargo to One Row of Bank. My Bad.
