An answer to the 'crate' issue ?

[<UGA>justinnicholson8 2]

With the continued, and, lets face it rather tedious and annoying ongoing problem with the crates is there any intention of bringing something else in as a storage device for loot and materials etc? 

I ask this because we have been faced with a plethora of problems regarding these crates not to mention the fact that they are woefully underspaced ( can barely fit 3 larger guns), unable to be stacked, despawning gear etc etc. Anyway I think that almost everyone has felt this frustration at one moment or another I certainly know that my group with over 50 crates before the last patch certainly felt it.

This brings me to solutions....why not look to shelves similar to those used in epoch for example which are much easier to manage, easier to place and with more capacity within them certainly easier to control viz a viz them floating off and setting on fire in midair etc etc. If not this then something else as many of my fellow players on the server which we play on have 0 confidence in using them anymore despite assurances by some that the problems have been fixed......

Devs please your thoughts on this and what is going to happen moving forward would be appreciated.

Cheers

The Taru Cargo pod can hold a lot. Storage is 10k on that thing. Maybe talk to your admins about adding those to the server.

These have been added to the server and are all very well and good, but, does not solve the real problem of having a storage capability that can be constructed in an already built and fortified area of a base without having to either plan ahead for or deconstruct hours of work in order to place it.

I honestly think that this will be addressed further down the line. The devs have already revealed they intend to further develop base building and I think enough of the community have voiced their concerns over build-able storage, so I dare say they have picked up that message loud and clear.  If that is the case, I can't imagine they won't add more variety in storage, including larger storage items. I'm more interesting in how they will do it (sheds, cargo crates, containers, something new that we've not seen?) and whether it will be lockable (additional padlocks/pin code locks). 

 

My personal preference is to see the introduction of padlocks that can be bought/found (expensive/rare) with a counter tool (bolt cutters - again expensive or rare) being implemented to the game.  I wouldn't be too disappointed though if it was just non-lockable storage units that had to rely on being built inside a base.

A small, lockable 10/20ft container would be nice to use a storage. Would even be more epic if we could move them with the HEMMT.

Yea I like the thought of using container crates and yes having the HEMMT as a method of transport (maybe the ONLY method of transport?) is a nice idea.
