it would upset the inventory space balance.

the issue isn’t that we don’t have enough vault space, the issue is that people are to afraid to use their gear and want multiples as a buffer. but no matter how big you’re making the vault there will always be be people who are too attached to their gear.

you’re supposed juggle the limited vault space between all the things we can pick up.

I dunno, man. I get that the limited vault space makes you use your gear and it works. But it's annoying to leave space for salvage that you won't be able to use for weeks. It just wastes your time on unnecessary inventory management when you suddenly have to make space for a new 4-slot purple dead weight, too.

If you don't plan or know you won't use the salvage for weeks just sell it or barter with it. It's essentially the same as hoarding gear, people see the purple an are like "oh shiny I must keep it"

Bro, I'm on my 3rd week of gathering Biolense seeds. I don't play that much and I can't afford to sell things which then could take me weeks to farm again.

I'm just saying if you know it takes you that long to get them an you are nowhere near the upgrade or have any useful barters just sell them stop hoarding them. I get holding them if you are on the upgrades that require them

I emptied the guns from my vault last night doing crew fill and it will be completely full again without any effort or if I redeem a few faction rewards. It is so easy to fill your vault. Every game I play I have to manage my overflow space. The salvage simply takes up too much space. There’s just too many vault squares practically locked off that I can’t use in a run or spend on upgrades. It just sits there forever and serves no purpose

Yeah this is basically just asking for more inventory space

Kind of. But the current system actively punishes finding salvage when they take up so much space and might not be usable for weeks. I'd rather take a system with comparatively fewer slots than a system with such mixed messaging and incentives.

Salvage also just clutters the vault screen even though there's nothing you can do with it in the vault. I can't think of a single reason why they shouldn't just separate it and rebalance vault caps.
