Although your ground crew can carry only a specific amount, how come when you are in your ship you can't store more there?

I mean cmon, it's a starship, All that cargo space, all that floor space, all those empty compartments and crew quarters, and why cant i use my BO's pockets? 4 slots? whats that about?

Why cant I have 1 of them as a mule?

Thoughts on this?

    Whoa - your font and colour hurt my eyes there!

    Its a game with rules. Personally - inventories dont' bother me much I'm happy to sell stuff and the bank on Sol holds kit that I like but aren't using at the moment.

    The only annoyance (and this is true for any MMO or RPG with an inventory system) is when you're mid raid and you fill up your inventory. But its not game breaking for me..!

    Hopefully in the future they will let you drop things in your ship, that way it will free up space in your inventory.

    Bank/mail should be consoles on your bridge, at least until they make more of your ship interior.

    There should perhaps be ways to expand your cargo space, lots of space games have all sorts of names for this, whether you use a spacial compressor anomoly to make tardis your cargo hold, or whether you expand your cargo bay a bit. But more bank space would be good. Those tribbles do like space.

    Whilst at it, exchange should be easily sorted by all fields, and support more complex searches/breakdowns etc. to make it more usable.

    Lets see you can sort it by whatever type of thing you want. Then you can break that down by Rank. Then Common, Uncommon, Rare or Very Rare.
    What more do you want.

    Not sure what rank you are PFG, but you do receive more inventory space and bank space as you level up. Things felt a bit cramped at the Lt and Lt Commander levels. At the Captain level, I have more than enough space in my ship inventory for anything I want to keep with me. I still have extra space in my bank account as well, although I wouldn't mind more space there.

    And I'll echo saint100's comments about your font and color. Very hard to read. If you want to stand out, try just using the blue color and not that hard-to-read font.

    I have heard that in Beta there was a different inventory for you and your ship. There seemed to be a lot of complaints about how the inventory system worked then and problems with moving things around so the Devs scrapped it and made one inventory to make it simplier.

    I dont know if the old system will be comming back in any form.

    I am pretty sure a cruiser can hold more than an escort. No?

    No, the reference to more space is a left over from when the inventories were seperate. Now everyone has the same at the same level no matter what ship you have. The only thing a cruiser has more of is device slots, it gets 4 for batteries.
