Bank improvements - Name change and function

There are a few small improvements I would like to suggest with respect to the bank system, especially in light of the possible addition of bank access on vessels (if that is, in fact, intended now or in the future).

1) Name changes

I suggested this back in beta, and I still feel it is relevant. There are quite a few standard MMO features that have Star Trek names, but the bank is not one of them. I would suggest that the names of each feature be changed to the following:

Bank - Cargo Bay
Fleet Bank - Fleet Supply


This wouldnt really change anything other than make the names seem more like they fit in a Star Trek setting...after all, I could see your personal bank being your cargo bay, especially if it becomes something you can access in your ship as well as at a base, and the fleet supply would be for the entire fleet and only accessible at a base.

2) Ability to expand cargo capacity


This would be a suggested C-Store purchase option...the ability to purchase a storage module, adding another inventory box equal in size to your current box. Essentially a tab that can be given a name. This would work for personal inventory (up to 3), cargo bay (up to 4), and fleet supply (up to 5).

You would be restricted by rank as to what additional tabs you could purchase, and as you rank up every tab grows like your original. The tabs would be purchased individually, and would be for each individual toon on your account.

3) Account portal

Another suggested C-Store item, this optional purchase would give you a small 20 slot bank like box that can be accessed from the mail interface. It would not only be accessed by all toons on an account, regardless of faction, but would also allow you to deposit funds into the account that could be withdrawn by any toon on that account.

Right now mail as well as cheap items posted for outrageous prices is the mechanic I expect is used in place of this. This could serve to both reduce mail and also remove quite a few fund transfer postings on the exchange.

Thank you for your time.
