I wish they'd increase pretty much everyone's inventory space (or at least make it based on for how long of a period one has played the game), simply because from launch until now, there really have been no mitigating things that take the strain away from gradually using up your lots (such as housing, factories,player city structures, harvesters) and from using up all of one's inventory space (with new meds especially, more foods, random loot, who knows how many different resource shifts that have appeared in 14 months, etc.)
If such a thing were to come though, I'd just be pessimistic in that it'd either come with JTL or be after it, which would be nice for some, but obviously not very soon. I'd love to see some (if any) official word on this issue.

Between carrying two different stims (D&E), woundpacks, buffpacks, cure states/poison/disease, crates of most of the above, crafting material for lots of doc components and meds (including three crafting tools), and then of course regular combat and PvP things, weapons, modded clothes, foods, etc...it just adds up really quickly.

I also have been utilizing at least one 10-item storage droid for several months now, and am now up to four of them (would have a fifth, but the med droid w/ item storage I ordered didn't seem to want to show its item datapad.)

Carrying woundpacks (or any other type of med) isn't really the big issue to heal myself cause I rarely accumlate lots of wounds, if I do, using packs are way much effcient (on your mind bar and don't incur any wounds). I refuse to switch to a certain template just to get rid of six inventory spaces...which still wouldn't solve the issue of healing *others* in a timely manner (unless you want everyone else to become TKM too.)

For pretty much any other crafter (except CM, yikes, I would never want to become a Doc/CM cause I'd always be at full inventory ), I don't think they need the product they make (for smugglers, yes, I guess they do need a clamp and upgrade kit and whatever else, but those are single use as far as I know so crates of those items become way more effcient then), hence, they probably would not have the same issues as Docs.

You can put an item into a toolbar slot then put it into a storage droid; however, if you try using the item with the toolbar key, the first 'activation' will just bring the item out from the droid onto your main inventory, then the second pushing of the button will actually be the normal operation. I agree on the utilizing your toolbar to the fullest though, it's really handy when doing whatever you need.

For me (and probably most others), the bank was the first thing I filled up with junk, then with subsequent 'emergency' item space situations I've cleaned out some stuff every month or few months. Even though increasing item space would probably just be a short-term mollifying action, it would just be nice to have (and to let me continue being a packrat.) I'm just very afraid when JTL comes around, what bunches of new stuff would come out then, and how I would have to make large trade-offs between the basic 'ground-based' game and the newer 'space-based' one.
