Storage Character question

Sun Sep 14, 2003 1:30 am by steverhud

I have been playing MP for a while now and have read many posts about the storage character bug. I have not been able to find on that tells how to use a storage character. I have some weaps that I would like to save, but don't want to keep them in my main character. How do I use a storage character.

I did try searching and found nothing.

Please Help.

You transfer them to that character.. Either by the help of an intermediary, or by going some where with both your charcters, then jettison the stuff from one char, wait untill its on your scanner, then switch to the other character and tractor it in.

a few additions to that

a. do it in a remote place , others may tractor in your stuff otherwise

b. you have about 60 to 90 seconds to make the switch otherwise your jettisoned stuff is gone

c. the size of ship for your storage character makes no difference (starflier or humpback)

Also there is some kind of bug that limits the maximum number of things that you can hold before that character becomes corrupted, these guys could give you an idea of what that number is, I think that DA just thought that weapons etc. would be immediately sold or mounted and didn't give much thought to using a character for storage.

Thanks all. I have tried this and lost some stuff. low level weaps not really a problem but I think that what my problem was is that I didn't wait for it to come up on my screen as loot.

I will try.

Thanks again.

Maximum number is 256 Items

lol, and limit the number of stuff you dump. I dumped 4 cannons and a couple blasters only to see the blasters 3.5 k away and moving fast. I guess they bumped into the stuff already floating there.
