Short term solution - use your factory input hopper - it holds 100 items and all factories (except our structure factories ) use only 1 lot.

Well actually I've been able to decorate some crafter's homes quite nicely. They don't get all the storage that they need nor is it as pleasing as it could be but there is a way to reach a middle-ground. I do agree, however, that the item storage limit needs to be addressed. Have it be the real 75 per lot and not capped at 250 so that large homes are actually functional. Add a 1 lot generic home, it may not be the best solution but just taking up 1 lot for the necessary storage instead of 2 and having a bit of overkill would be nice, also it would allow PA leaders to drop a hall and a home, however crappy that one might be.

I don't think that that is true anymore. It *used* to be the case that if you put things in your crafting station input hopper that they didn't count against your house total, but I'm pretty sure they changed it.

Try it. Check your house status for # of items. Then take something (anything) out of your inventory, use the right crafting tool with the right station, open up the input hopper, and put the something in there. Then go check the house status again. I think you'll find that the count of the items in the house goes up by 1.

Well actually they wouldn't have to increase the amount per house but rather just the large homes. Think about it, if you got the 450 items you can decorate and have a good amount of storage but all in one house.Instead of having2 small homes as storage and a medium as your "home" just seems silly and really takes up more of the database then having 1 large house. This way you can store the equivalent of 2 smalls, decorate the equivalent of a small, and all inside of a nicer looking house (unless you're a Corellian like me ) it's only logical to me, but then I don't have a dev's mentality.

Buy droids with item storage. They can hold 10 items each and you can have up to six.

Do you mean you can put items in the droid then store it like a pet or vehicle with the items still in it? That's a good idea if that's what you menat...

That's exactly what he ment. Each droid can have a storage module that stores up to 10 "physical" items per droid. You can have five droids in your datapad. You can call droids in town, in a camp, in a public house, or on the steps of your personal residence (I think). You call it, you open up its little storage compartment, you put 10 things in there, you store the droid. The next time you call it those 10 things are in its storage compartment.

It IS less convenient than just having it in your inventory, and it's pretty limited (5 droids at 10 items each), but it is better than nothing.

I thought it was 6 droids. Well I only have 2 so it doesn't really matter. These can work on any (except for the useless BLL) droid so you can go cheap with a mse or one that you think looks neat. The other great thing about it is that these items will NOT decay upon death. So any spare clothes, armor, tools what have you works best there compared to your inv. Just make sure you have scout or a free gen house deed so you can get them spur of the moment if need be.

Being a architech and armorsmith (on one charactor)I have alot of resources I need to keep on hand.At this time I have 6 medium houses full of material and not 1 stick of furniture because I cant afford the space.I purchased 2 more accounts just so I can mine and have more lots for storage.Is this what they had planned?I'm luckier than most that i can pay for 3 accounts.That is only a fix as long as my other accounts dont craft or need storage.

I cannot store in 1 medium house all the items I need for crafting ineither profession. A 6 lot large house would be foolish for me(or any crafter)as it wont hold as much as 2 mediums using just 4 lots. A large that held 75 items per lot would be usefull to me, or better yet a house that used 4 lots.Then all my material would be nearby and handy.

If I had a vendor(I don't want to spend nor can I afford the skill points for one) I could store alot of material in my vendor's stockroom. It would be a hassle retrieving it but it would be worth it. It would be nice to get a vendor as master.I dont see how that would impact any other profession.Ona side note please let us have vendors in a private home,I sell to my guild at a lower cost than I do to the public.This would allow me to have a guild only vendor.At one time I could do this,I have not heard why they changed this.

Houses of modular design would be nice.Need more room?Just add a room to your existing house. It could be a basement if you dont have room around your house to expand. I'm not sure but it seems there would be issues with going up,nothing in this game is very tall. Even the flying creature's dont get far off the ground.The faction bases have multi level basements.

or forget the above and give us just a little more room please.

The modular design could give the people a chance to make thier home different than the one next door.The nieborhoods are BORING.

Architechs should actually get to be architechs and design the house,we are not architechs we are building contractors.I'm not holding my breath on this one. even some small differences would be great.
