Base Storage Restrictions

After reading the post here clicky

(btw stop me if this has already been mentioned)
and having had the same thing happen to a supergroup i co-lead i was considering ways to restrict access to some base storage items but not all.

I think that the current regieme of the setting that blankets all storage access is a bit out-dated, personally i hate having to set the storage access to the 2nd/3rd rank as it can alienate new members but it now seems to be *required* as a safety precaution.

Imo, it would be much better if the restrictions could be made per table, or per room. For example let everyone have access to storage containing bottom teir inspirations and general salvage but lock away all Top/Middle teir inspirations and components.

Same would go for enhancement tables, i have a toon currently working on the field crafter accolade and would quite happily let everyone else help themselves to the IOs i dont need to slot, yet having to set the access high restricts this

anybody have any other ideas?
(short of lie-detector tests ofc)

Some more options would certainly be a good idea.

I'd like to be able to allow access to some things, but restrict it to others. Either on a room by room or item by item basis.

I'd like to be able to allow people to take base salvage and use things like the empowerment buff creator, and the inspiration bins, hell even have their own bin if they want, without having to give them access to hundreds of millions of inf/imf worth of enhancements that some others have stored in the base.

I'd have to know someone really really well to trust them with access. Being 99.9% certain that you know them well enough to trust them isn't enough for me, when it also involves trusting them within everyone else in the SG's stuff as well as my own.

Exactly, im hoping that with the code they have for the personal salvage vault, we will soon be able to choose to either place a "personal" or "communal" version of enhancement tables and insp/salvage bins in the base. Members can put the things they want to hold onto in the personal version and the things they want to make available for others in the communal version.

I agree that the permissions-based system is out of date. Effectively it means that whomever has access to storage has to act as quartermaster for anyone who actually wants to check something out. At the very least put in a requisitions desk so that SG members who don't have access can request stuff and then take it out when their request is (hopefully) approved. This might also make it easier for the inventing people to make as many IOs of a certain level and type as are needed for the SG members to stay in SG mode.
