Stores being used as storage

[indigal]

I agree with QS that there should be a predefined limit for the number of items that can be sold at a store. I honestly think this is the best solution.

I vote against the theft idea for reasons already mentioned in this thread.

I also do not agree with the store + storage limit = storage limit. This would give me hardly any advantage of being a store owner. I agree that I can still sell those minerals in the store, but I can do it at the settlements as well and that would give me my MDs faster instead of just taking up space at my store and just hoping that someone would step into my store and buy them.

But this are just my thoughts....

I prefer QS idea still, but Jason's #5 would be okay. :]

There actually could be a fifth option:

5) Minerals in Stores count against your storage total.  Meaning that you can't have more in Storage and Store combined than your Storage stat.

There still is a slight flaw in this idea, such as:
I can now Upgrade my Storage to the Maximum (1000 units) and as long as I don't have anything in my storage, I am now able to store 1000 units in my store.

Another idea would be:

Initial 250,000 store purchase gives you 50 Store storage units,
additional 500,000 MD's gives you additional 50 store storage units up to a maximum of 250 units.

Just another idea to throw around, I got a million of them

Actually a store storage stat may not be a bad idea at all.

I don't know if I thought of it or not, but I think I take advantage of it way more than anyone else.

for some reason I didn't view this as cheating, I'm sorry.

please take all my minerals from my store, and if you have to ban me then so be it.

[Anthraxus]

Nobody is going to be banned, nor are they likely to loose any minerals.  We are simply looking for a way to close the loophole.

i think this is a great idea

I have about 10 of the same thing for sale at my store too,
I just realized why  Prices at some stores, are so High. LOL

But then I did just only recently purchase a Store.
There's all that inventory, buying prices vs selling prices, Wait I think I was supposed to make a Profit in there some where, lol

The store stat is a good idea, but make sure to leave room for some creative sales that people might come up with.

[indigal]

A store storage stat is definitely a good idea, but on the second thought, if you are winning something as a result of a mission, I feel that the reward should be the same for everyone....., but yes a person can take it to further levels.....

Another solution that I can think of is that let the store as it is presently and charge a fee if the player removes the item from the store. Meaning, you can add an item to the store, but have to pay the fee if you just want to remove it from your store, the fee being a % of the price you are deciding for the item. This will control misuse and elevated pricing. Or you can do a combination of a preset store limit + the fee. Just my thoughts....

But store owners who don't even sell minerals add and remove items all of the time...

[indigal]

Yes, but this will help to put a fair price for everything in the store and we will not see ridiculously elevated prices in the stores.

[Anthraxus]

Yeah, I don't think the idea of charging store owners for removing items from their stores would work.  People just wouldn't list stuff there.

At this point I'm leaning more towards adding a Store Storage stat, although I don't like that name.  Maybe Capacity?

[jtokarsbr]

Yeah, the "Store Capacity" idea sounds great, as well as the name.
Other possible names:
Store Size
Store Space
or Store Room - get it? like Storeroom lol :]
