My Storage has hit critical limits

crusty8maccrusty8mac Member Posts: 1,381 Arc User
I've just gone through all my inventory and banks on all my characters and cleaned out everything I could possibly stand to part with. Yes, the purple MK XII consoles that I never used - gone. Sets of Mk X purple weapons - all gone. Gone, gone, gone - some of it was heartbreaking.

But with the introduction of the reputation system, the earlier introduction of the DOff system, persistent zones requiring different materials, tons of new sets, tribbles that can't be slotted to bridge officers, Winter Wonderland mats and weapons and boots and pets, consumables in the lock boxes, stuff from the lobi store, keys, modules, lock boxes, consoles and things I haven't even come across yet, I've hit critical limits on my storage.

I need more storage, and it would be helpful if anything that is used in crafting and the reputation/fleet/DOff systems would stack to much higher limits. Any help in this area would be most appreciated.

    Up Alt
    or form an alt fleet and activate its bank
    or post stuff to yourself

    Mail stuff to yourself. Unlimited free storage (as long as the items are not bound, that is).
    There is no problem in the galaxy that cannot be solved with sufficient application of firepower.

    Create a Banker alt .
    Make a toon , have 4 friends (or random strangers) help you make a fleet .
    (100.000 EC as an award per random stranger should get it done fast)

    Remove/kick the other 4 ppl from the fleet -- and now you have a fleet bank .
    Now you can move your (unbound) stuff to your new banker toon via your accounts shared bank .
    But remember -- your fancy new bank works w/tabs , and to unlock each tab costs about 1.25 mil EC .
    Well worth it on the long run .

    Yeah, that is all fine, except much of what I have is bound to character, or stuff I swap in and out depending on the situation. What good are mats and commodities if they are sitting in an alt's bank or fleet bank? Also, all my toons belong to fleets, and I'm quite happy there. Yes, I have a ton of stuff in the mail with the same limitations - not easily accessible, can't be bound already.

    Here's a trivial for instance of the problem, I now have 3 tribbles per toon that I have to keep in inventory so that I can swap them out once an hour to get the dilithium, romulan marks, and fleet marks they drop.

    Here's a much less trivial for instance of the problem - where I once had one toon that did all my crafting, and therefore had all the mats needed, I now have to have mats and commodities available on all my toons for the DOff and reputation system.

    I am in a big fleet and mailing stuff to myself is a hassle... I do it a lot.... Need higher stacks for Rep Mats or they need to pick something else.

    Also, as already mentioned.... every adventure zone brings a new collection of doodads... I need more space.... let me buy more space... or fix the problem... one or the other.

    The other day I sold to a vendor for EC, all the purple weapons that I worked so hard to craft... I then sold all the Mk XI borg weapons that I worked so hard to collect... All for laughable amounts of EC. I want more value for turning in bound high end gear. How about more EC or 30% of the DL back? Maybe 10 fleet marks per piece of purple bound endgame gear. It has to be items that match Crafted, Fleet, or Reputation.

    I suspect that your definition of "have to" and mine do not match.

    1. The bother of that is not worth 1 mark or crystal per hour. To me.
    2. Also not strictly "have to", but I'll concede the convenience. You do want to keep the commodities around to spend on the assignments, and if you're doffing, you'll probably have data samples and other stuff dropping into your inventory semi-regularly; if, like me, you like to keep things organized, then you will want to leave at least one of each there full time so that it always drops into the same stack(s).

    With all that said, keep in mind: Perfect World wants to sell you more storage space. You can have it, but not for free. I expect that to continue.

    Thats a nasty habit you should really try and break. I was stuck in that rut for too long before I trained myself to completely ignore all of them. I've been happier for it. Yes, actually, happier in my satisfaction over not being bound to them anymore.

    It's not a habit. If I'm playing one of my toons and the timer runs out, I take 20 seconds and swap them out. It would be a habit if I had them in my bank (which I can't) and ran to my bank every hour to make the change on all six of my toons.

    I think certain things should stack higher, so long as it's in the bank.

    Like pretty much any of the stuff that stacks to 20 should be able to stack to 250 in your back, while still only stacking to 20 while in your inventory, to make sure you can't have 250 hypos on your person.

    After all, why couldn't you stack 250 hypos in a warehouse?

    It would help greatly if pets (Non combat ones) could be equipped like titles (and also not have to be reactivated constantly) and tribbles had their own slotted spaces, say 2 slots per character (since most people slot 2 tribbles) There is alot of neat things to play around with and collect, but when you can not store these things that are not directly used for combat (any vanity item for sure here or 'toy') people tend to lose intrest in them and ditch them. this includes stuff from the Cstore.

    I can handle buying new spaces for ships or characters, what I wont spend money on is more space to store vanity items because lets face it, its not worth the money.

    Yeah, I wish. I bought all the inventory/bank space upgrades already and its still not enough. I want to buy more but they're not selling.

    I guess I could use alts, but it's too much hassle and doesn't work with character-bound items.

    Just wondering, have you purchased additional bank and inventory slots that are available via the C-Store?

    That can add up to 48 bank slots (300 zen per 12) to your existing 48 silver / 108 gold, and/or add up to 36 inventory slots (400 zen per 12) to your existing 42 silver / 72 gold.

    That's up to 264 slots with bound goodies if you're gold and maxed out versus 90 if you're a silver with no additional storage.

    Additionally, if its bound to account and not to character, you can use the account bank (20 free for gold, plus 10 more for 1000 zen purchaseable twice).

    Yes, I've purchased all the storage available. Yes, I have a ton of stuff in the mail - probably should clear some of it out, but what is there is not the problem.

    The problem is the mats and commodities needed for the DOff system and rep system; more ground sets; more space sets; new weapons to try; new devices to keep on hand; new consumables of all types that are useful in various situations; new modules; new pets; and all this before I decide I want to keep a different set up weapons for a different build on the same ship (e.g. I have an all turret and an all beam build for my vo'quv, which requires that I keep one set in storage).

    Yes, I know there are tricks - give stuff to BOffs, equip ships that I don't use, mail - and I use them all.

    There are some solutions to the problem - allow bigger stats of mats and consumables, sell me more storage space - and that is what I'm asking for, along with any other solutions that Cryptic has to offer.

    Can't agree more! I was thinking of a PAI (Personal Asset Inventory) slot where only certain items can be placed. Things that generally can not be sold should be able to be placed here as well as mission items and event items. These are things that you would normally turn in and can not be used for other purposes. However, I do think that all Pets should fit here as well! These are items with not real significance to game play and there for should not be cluttering our LOOT inventory! Because they need to be on your person to be used they should fall into a different inventory slotting for this purpose.

    Tribbles on the other hand should have their own slot all to gether. Tribbles get into everything therefor if you do not take care of your inventory you should lose the food items you carry to the tribbles, IMO, even though they don't share the same slot in inventory.

    Tribbles and pets are MOSTLY for fun so why burden us with finding them homes when you limit us with how we can place them?

    Otherwise, anything used for you, your crew or your ship should take up your normal inventory slots.

    I don't see why they couldn't add a "Cargo Bay", or "Armories" to your ship interior as special banks that you can only access while on board your ship. It wouldn't break the game, and it would give people an excuse to visit the inside of their ships.

    I just except that I can't store everything and go without some stuff, I dont use more then 1 tribble per character, I deleted all non combat pets and quest rewards I don't use, I store all commoditities and other unbound stuff in mail, I store other weapons and ship equipment on other ships I'm not using, other ground stuff im not using I store on my boffs. I would only work on one adventure zone at time to not get stuck with items for it, also.

    Doing all of this is still not enough so I decided to pass on gathering winter event items besides the breen ship.

    Forgot to add a new trick I am doing is to dismiss low tier ships then claim my Bortasqu 3 pack on characters that don't use it to give me ships with a little more storage space.
