Increase station hold of stations with capship docks

May 17, 2015 Sieger link
Increase the station capacity of statios that allow Trident docking from the basic 50,000 cu to 100,000 cu capacity. The Trident itself already takes away 15,000 cu when parked. It should be compensated by moving up the maximum capacity of these capitol stations a little or the storage is filled quite quickly. I believe the same has been done before for the Shipyards in Latos M7.

Edit: Of course the rent for the newly added space increase has to be upped respectively.

If the trident takes up an extra 15,000 cu, then you should be asking for a 15,000 cu increase, not a 50,000 cu increase.

I think Sieger is suggesting that with these as the only stations available for tridents to dock at apart from M7 that owners will need the additional space to store larger volumes of ore, bot drops and other items that are increased due to the trident's capacity.

For the moment, I'd hold off on the change in order to see if this is really needed but don't have any real objection to it.

Edit: For instance, I could see the station in Dau becoming a hub for UIT builders to safely secure FCP and RBA's while waiting for a trident to move them in a more secure fashion. It's not terribly convenient but it is better than nothing.

as long as you are paying the rent for the additional storage above 10kcu i am fine with it.

Oh, wait. I thought he was just talking about the points at which rent kicks in. Are there actual maximum limits beyond which you cannot store any more stuff no matter what? If so, I'm all for expanding those as far as it is computationally practical to do, and just keep increasing rent the higher somebody goes.

Yes, the current limit is at 50,000cu. At this point you cannot rent any more station storage.

Ah yeah I may have been a little unclear there. I edited it in. Of course the rent has to go up when somebody's using all the 100,000 cu of space.

Fluffy is right by the way. I' like to store stuff in the 4 stations I can dock my Trident now. I think that is common sense.

Sure, that doesn't bother me at all. I just misunderstood.

Raise the max, keep the rent.

Yup, so long as extra space costs more rent.

+1. I'm fine with expanding the station storage for additional fees.

Okay overall response looks positive. I'd say let's go and put it in tomorrow's update then!

Really don't see any significant disadvantages from this, make the capitols actually seem like capitols.

Don't Ask, I just want more space

It is a space game afterall.
