I thought of this as i was heading into work this morning, I got a Hour long commute. I know lots of people have been asking for additional storage with the addition of JTL, and Devs like to find credit sinks. My idea is tocreate a bank type storage at starport terminals, and to have it a daily cost to it much like a house. Anyway here it is in fuller detail:

Phase One

All starport terminals gain a option in the use catigory called "Rent Hanger", this option is like the bank to were you can go anywere on planet and have acsess to the stuff inside. This renting would have a monetary cost to it like 1k, also it would have a maintainence cost of half a small house. Storage wise the "hanger" would allow you to store 50-100 of space ship components only inthe same fassion as the bank. Additionaly all components within storage show up on manage screens. Only one Rented Hanger per player.

So what would make people rent hanger space other than granting them storage space? Well all space stations will charge a docking fee of 100-200 credits depending on planet, but if you rent a hanger the planets station will not charge a docking fee for you to land. This would affect the travel option as well.

This idea uses existinggame elements that i would think would not take a long time to impliment.

Phase Two

When the ability of walking around in space stations are put in game a few things would need to change. Renting a hanger would actualy create a hanger for you to walk around in. This hanger would be a instanced hanger about the size of Theeds starport bay, May be not as high. to acsess the hanger you are given akey in your datapad under data, the original key cannot be traded or destroyed but can be copyed and givin to another player by trading or e-mail. The copied keys cannot be copied or traded, if recived by email the forward or reply option will remove the key from the email so it cannot be passed along. The key allows acsess to hanger to all who have the key, so when a player that has a mp ship decides to do a mission the crew can assemple at the craft, get info, walk up the loading ramp, etc. Also player can place his ships in hanger as he sees fit like decorating a home or give a template on how they want ships to be placed.

Storaged items will still be located in a terminal like item. Star Ship management would be done with the actual ship.

Misc. Items

Transfering storage items: if the player wishes to have a rented hanger on another planet they do not have to empty out there storage. There would be a option to transfer items to another planetand activate a new rented hanger while deactivating the old one. This would costa per item amount no less than 5k to prevent people jumping planet to planet this way.

Lot Usage: No building lots were harmed in the thought prossess of this idea. Also none of the above ideas were went to have a lot requirement.

Orginization Items: In the ship component storage it would be nice to create a nameable container in the storage space that dont take a space itself, So we could orginize our stuff better without eating up storage space. this could be pulled to other storage containers. i currently have 4 satchels and several backbacks in my invintory to orginise the things i need. like i got one for my armor, two for droid parts, etc.
