first of all, I'd like to thank the devs for the nice move of adding more slots to our bank and inventory, for free and those to add with Zen.
But, at the same time, at least with my main chars, even though having reached the slot limit, I am again & still having difficulties to storage all the items (using 10 to 12 ships as well). The thing is though, and i don't know how other people see this, but with all those shiny weapon types and consoles, that have been added recently and will be added soon, I want to obtain them and try them out in many different ways, create beam or cannon boats, mixed...you name it. Problem is, again, at least with my two main chars, up to this point, I have a nice collection of weapons to choose from, but have reached the point where i can no longer continue to storage them, at least not the way I do prefer it to.
It has become a jungle of items to choose and create builds from which is a great thing but again, at this pace though, I can no longer continue as I wish to and thus I am curious if there are plans to expand or optimize this part of the game some time soon or not.
More helpfully, what I've done is have each alt be the bank for a specific weapon type. One is for phasers, one for plasma, etc. Doesn't help with rep weapons, but watcha gonna do?

"stop being a hoarder" then you say you have multi-alts for storage. Hypocrite much?
I have 1 bank toon. Holding crafting mats mostly.
I hoard alot too. In fact, today is inventory purge day! Where I go through my 6 toons and make the hard choices of what to keep. I used to collect the non-com pets, but since Cryptic makes them take up inventory space, I had to stop. They need to do like WoW has done and make pets have their own inventory page/system.
I have not maxed out purchasing bank & inventory slots, however I too am running into storage issues. Unfortunately, I am a hoarder it seems and I simply can't help it. Most of my "TRIBBLE" are the anomalies used for crafting. If I was actively crafting then it would not be an issue. However, I have only been sporadically crafting with my Fed toon and have not done any crafting with my KDF toon. I recently started a Romulan toon so I guess I will eventually be hoarding that TRIBBLE as well.... Gotta working in some crafting time into my routine...
Anywaste... I am looking into subbing for 1 month. I believe that permanently increases you bank slots to 60 excluding any additional slots you have bought on your own. I think the absolute max is 120 slots. Not sure how many inventory slots you get when you sub. I have not sub yet since people have told me that certain benefits depend on the level of the character so it would be best if by the time my 1 month sub expires my Rom toon would already be max level.
Anywaste... yeah I'm a hoarder of TRIBBLE 'cuz I don't know when I will get around to crafting...

stop hoarding crafting TRIBBLE, aside from the aegis set (which is max mk X) theres nothing special about the craftign system. get rid of the anomalies, its not like you cant pick them up again as opposed to that purple Mk XII Item that never drops.
I would very much appreciate distinct inventories for the equipment that loadouts swap on and off our ships, and the things we pick up. This would ease organization.
Personally I would most like to see an increase in the number of bridge officer slots available to us. So many builds.... and only 54 bridge officers.

...why would you CRAFT things still? Crafting is DEAD. Just feed that junk to your Sci DH on your bridge for minerals and CXP.
Each ship can hold x number of weapons, x number of consoles, etc etc.
Already said that I'm using about 10 to 12 ships too. I'm not really horting in that respect, I keep stuff I actually use and all the other stuff i got rid off already what do you think?!
For instance:
- my beam boats need 6 beams and 2 torps
- cannon builds end up with usually 3 to 4 DHC's +/- 1 or 2 torps
- tac consoles for each energy type, at least 2 up to 4
(add those up for each energy type & variant, i do not have all of them but mostly)
- universal consoles, got "few" of them over the years
- some fleet consoles, 2 at least, up to 4, hull or turn rate boost mostly
- ship sets, got used to it having em installed on the other ships by now but is that really nessesary?
- ground weapons & equipment, there are so many to choose from, and partly needed for several Zones
- unique items ect
So with the rep projects and the items i get from those boxes alone, my bank is filling up even quicker, and i don't see anything wrong with the way I am obtaining & keeping this stuff. My inventory is there for two reasons, keeping the stuff I use the most, like ground weapons, regenerators/components, or stuff that like boxes, implants/BNP's ect which I constantly get...you name it. This stuff uses less than half of my inventory because, if i go to places like the undine battlezone, I get tons of items within one session, and I need the EC so don't want to leave it there or use the replicator.
So after all, within the next few mounth, I either play with what I have or make difficult choises in order to make room for new toys and I'm asking myself if that all makes sense... is that the way I should end up with at some point or is there a solution for people like me, who enjoy using the content in all it's glory, whenever & with whatever they wish to without having to make those kind of decissions?

Just another skill to build up and I dump that TRIBBLE on the exchange for sale. Plus I am curious about the aegis set.
