Yeah, that's it. Some people need more space, but since you don't lets not have it be an option. Why should it matter to you? If you don't want or need more space, don't take advantage of the option. But why deny the option to other people?

If your a tribble breeder, then you brought this issue on yourself. No one forced you to take on that challenge and its not something inherently needed to beat this game. Nor is it something that creates a burden on Cryptic to help you solve your space issue.

And Ive seen the number of Tribbles you can make, no way have you used up all your space for them unless you keep every last one of them.

As for gear, learn to take a break from grinding and go back to Sol and store or sell things. Seriously until your RA almost every item you collect or use will eventually become useless. You dont need to hoard it.

Sorry, but the inventory thing is nowhere near enough.

I have never been able to play this game, even during beta, without having inventory problems. From about just before Lieutenant level and beyond, inventory management becomes a constant issue, and it's really kind of ridiculous seeing as how we're flying around in huge starships.

In addition, the current system of not allowing any differentiation between different items just seems kind of sloppy. We need an inventory system that has multiple tabs that let you separate items like weapons, armor, tools, misc items, etc. An extra tab for ship-based weapons and items would help a great deal as well.

I think it would be more appropriate to have a much larger inventory space, and if necessary, change ground movement and space movement rates to compensate.

So if you're hauling a huge cargo of items, your ship might slow down, and turn slower. If you add even more items, the ship responds even more sluggishly.

This would continue the need for banks and fleet banks, but without the excessive breakdown in gameplay that occurs now due to the dreaded "Inventory Full".

Im not trying to downplay your feelings about this issue. But everytime I started to get full on items. Id either get rid of the ridiculous items like "food rations" to fit something that would make more money like a Mk VIII PollyAlloy Armor. Or...before I got to that point, Id actually go back to Spacedock. Store what I wanted to keep in my bank (which was never more then two or three items). Store some more in my Fleet Bank. And then sell the rest on the exchange or at the Vendor. And then head right on back out.

That's just it, that's what I spend a portion of my game time doing. But if it was the Star Trek Inventory Management Simulator, I probably wouldn't have bought it!

But seriously... I have an Intrepid class starship and I'm having to clean out my inventory of rations and jumbo romulan mollusks so that I have room for a pistol?

Inventory would make much more sense being high in number (400, 500 items) with weight restrictions instead. An impulse engine should probably be heavier than a phaser turret, and a phaser turret ought to weigh more than a plasma rifle.

I support the addition of cargo bays and more space.

i'd mentioned this before, but since it was done in the inventory for badges/merits and such, why can't another tab, or 2, be added for anomalies and other things that aren't swapped out from your ship/character alot/often? space runs out rather quickly at times, otherwise.

It's not just about the Tribbles. It's about people wanting to accumulate stuff. People will always find things to collect in addition to all of the crafting stuff that must be collected. It's just the way some of us are. The precedent for these additions have been set by the games where storage space was considered adequate. That means more space for storage in necessary for this game. That is how it is. Do something about it or have a mountain of complaints a few months from now.

I agree with this idea, exactly as the OP stated.

I agree...Leave the challenge to the gameplay. Inventory space can really be expanded upon. Packrats unite!
