I think the argument that has always been used re: Recipe storage, is that it will cause people to hoarde all of the 'very rare and desierable' recipies, making them even harder to get on the market.
But to your actual suggestion, it sounds very hard to do without use of extra instancing. Which i think would be a step backwards in terms of making the base editor and bases more applicable to everyone.
Though in terms of salvage, ehns, and base salve, making those global, and having more control over permissions (having experienced and seen SG theft) gets a whopping great big /signed from me. Sadly, the rest of it does not, though it's a novel idea regardless
Agree with Xemulas, although the 'private rooms' could be quite cool. For example, in my main Villain group, which is an RP one, we could actually enforce the limitations that we have thought up for people who are not in the group, rather than having to trust them (which, admitedly, should be part of the RP, but hey).
Anyway, novel, certainly.

Another great idea.
Sadly over complicated, but the seed of a decent addition to the game is there, just needs to be a little bit more polished.

Not sure what you mean here. What greater control do you want? And what do you mean by Global?

The suggestion I believe is not to allow movement for recipes, but to allow the vault to be on a global basis, so all your characters would access the same vault. It would make passing enhancement, salvage and the like easier.
Also a nice addition would be to have a global bank account in the vault aswell so that a deposit can be made from many of your own toons and then withdawn on whatever toon you wish.
Ah, so this has become another "make twinking my alts easy plx" thread. Fair enough. Whatever. I lost interest.

I dont understand your aversion to passing things between your own alts?
Everyone does it but they have to rely on friends to do it.

So many comments available - all of which might get me banned.
This does happen - and I believe it needs to be addressed somehow.
Actually, no. Everyone does not do it.
And I'm not going to start explaining it, because it's been explained so many times that it's not worth bothering.
However, you are mistaken, I don't care whether you can shift stuff between your alts easily, with difficulty, or with an associated six-month ban. From a pure roleplay perspective, I don't like it, but I don't force my RP tendencies on other people. Cryptic did and the constant moans about changign this viewpoint have bored me to the point where threads suggesting easy twinking just make me lose interest.
It'll get changed, or it won't. Live with it.

And I still dont want the idea of the SG access limits to be over looked. It may be difficult or impossible but I still think the idea has merits. It just so happens that the suggestion popped up. If you think it would be more suitable to start another thread on it I will. TBH i think it only popped up because i mentioned a pin control on vault items or storage bays, and only because I only access the vault within my SG base.

Re: More control, Permissions Per table, instead of a sweeping access per rank. For example, anyone can go and grab some Tech Power and Tech Material for a base empowerment, but why should that allow them to touch any Set/Generic IOs I also decide to store in the base? (the issue of trust etc has been dredged up a thousand fold, not debating it here, just clarifying what I meant for you)
Making things global = storage that can be accessed by all characters. Though i'm perfectly happy with the way it is, as there are people that i trust to do transfers (which, unless it's inf for a new toon, is rather seldom)
Gotcha on the permissions.
Surely the only non-global storage is the Inv salvage vaults. All the others are global to the SG.

Yep, that's very true. My bad
The more global thing may then only relate to that inv storage, in having the ability to withdraw from it on any toon. But i digress, that's not something i'm going to argue for or against here. Only posted here with my thoughts on the OP, c'est tout
Cool. Just claifying my own understanding.

I have been thinking about SG bases at the moment.
I woudl like to be able to limit access to certain areas of the base.
For example if you are trying to store some enhancements to move around some toons you have to do it and hope noone takes what u placed whilst you are moving them. Or maybe you get a nice enhancement/recipe that you make and dont want to use it just yet or store it for a later date.
What I propose is a system that would keep certain rooms private. This could be based upon SG rank allowing access to rooms. Or another option would be to allow a pin access to enhancements/recipes so you can place them and then give the recipient the pin or use it your self on an alt.
I know that is complicated but another option would be to allow the vault to be on a global access and not per toon. This would require an increase in storage size but should be easier to implement.
