I'd like to pick the brains of some of you clever folks about resources...not how to get them, but how and where you store them. If I had to name my one biggest problem as a crafter, it would be storage.
I have three accounts: Wynsum is a Master Armorsmith/Tailor; Amythyst is working on TKA and holding onto as much of her once Master Dancer template as she can; Tazzia is a Blademaster who is currently playing with Smuggler. We are based in a player city on Dant, where Wyn has a large house, Amy and Taz have small ones, and between them they have three storage houses. I also have a small house near Coronet where I (and some friends) have vendors. I have four factories of my own plus a couple I have access to for running items (but not for storage). I have, obviously, three safe deposit boxes. What I do not have, ever, is enough room! My factories are full, my safe deposit boxes are full, my houses are full!
I don't understand why other people don't seem to have these storage issues or, alternatively, what I am doing wrong. I don't even try to make a full range of armor. I make Ubese, wookiee armor and PSGs, primarily, and am stockpiling materials for Composite. Yet just the materials for these, plus the subcomponents I have to keep on hand for armor and for tailoring, plus the ordered items waiting for someone to pick them up, etc., overwhelm me. Nearly as bad a problem is keeping track of where everything is. I try to work out an organized system, but then I run into some emergency where everything I have is full and I have to dump some things so I can go empty a vendor I am moving, for example, and wind up dumping stuff every place I can find a bit of space. Then it takes days (or longer) to try to get things back to where I can find stuff. I hate thinking "I know I had lots of that good Ditanium steel for the PSGs. Now where did I put it?"
So, seriously, I'd like to hear how you organize your stuff, including resources, subs and finished product. Please help out this scattered, but creative soul.

Inventory, Backpack, Bank, House, Droid, Factory, Vendor. Vendor is a bit cheesy to use, and somewhat buggy; although that might have been fixed.

I figured these are obvious...but..
- Put seperate types of resources in different houses. ie. Metal, Chemical, Organic.
- Sub catagorize the stuff in the houses into packs. ie. Hide, Steel, Copper.... Or maybe...PSGs, Comp, Ubese.
- Keep an inventory in Excel and update it everytime you put something in the house. Have columns for -type (Polymer), Name (Ity), Quantity (30k), Stats (OQ, SR, MA, UT), and maybe location (Chem storage house).
- get rid of the stuff you don't need. When something new spawns that's better, sell the other stuff.
