Point 1 is coming in Issue 21. On Point 2, try experimenting with changing your supergroup logo temporarily then placing a wall banner above the rack (there are also some standees you can use that don't require wall mounting).

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Thank you i'll try it out
I would love to add Recipe storage!

OK, wasn't meant as a pun. I'll revise. Remaugen, that is a very good idea and I feel that it would be good for helping to share unwanted recipes.

I have been wishing for this on those enhancement bins since I put the first one in. Nothing like scrolling through 100 enhancements trying to find one particular one.

To clarify, since the OP's question included several features, I believe it is the case that salvage and enhancements will auto-sort alphabetically when you put them in, rather than giving options to sort by name, depositor, etc.

The alpha sort is definitely in the right direction. I guess I am used to spreadsheets information sort function. Does anyone else think the additional information is useful? |

Regarding guild, I mean team, stowage resources is their a log to show removal? I was in a guild that had issues with folks (even senior) removing everything they could and leaving the guild. If it wasn't for a log nobody would have been the wiser.
I also find it, umm interesting, that I need to run over to all my rooms that contain stowage to get invention items. Can anyone please enlighten me why it is designed this way? Not trying to whine, just to understand.
I've seen SG's spell out words and letters by placing little objects on the wall one by one to form "dot-matrix" letters.
I really wish they would allow typed-text banners, though.

Possibly because they see it as items being stowed as opposed to items being stored? Both are perfectly valid.

There is a log for storage use. A pain to search through, copy and pasting into word would help.
I wish we had a 'notice board' feature too. Might have to try the dot writing ....
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Now let's see if my memory is any good.
MMC Machinist Mate Chief
SS Submarine Service
DV ah that always means Disabled Vet to me. Can't recall if it means something else.
I got out as a Deck-Ape SN in the Gator Navy, USS Austin LPD-4, Sixth Fleet, Order of the Rock.

close. You got most of it right.|

DV = Diver but yes I'm a disabled vet as well.
My dad was USMC so I thank you for being his water taxi : ) Too bad he died a few months ago or I ask him to say hi. He was 92 and lead a more than full life. He was in better shape when he died (I had a major stroke that left my right side paralyzed 5 yrs ago) than I am physically. Believe it or not he retired from the corp as an enlisted MSGT pilot. Guess it was a WW2 thing.

Ah Diver . . . Shoulda known that. Too many years passed with me using the civvie abbrev for DV.|

Sorry to hear about your father. My dad's also in his 90's and is currently in better shape than me. He couldn't serve in WWII due to being partially deaf but he was a line chief for Grumman Aviation and built TBF Avengers.
Also sorry to hear about your stroke. You have my best wishes and all that goes with them. The spinal injury I got only left me with constant pain, though sometimes when it's acting up . . . Nvm. You Embrace the Suck and soldier on.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the game as much as I have. We have a great community here, even tho sometimes we are at each others throats with our arguments, it's nothing personal for most of us. But even a Bubble Head like you is Salty enough to know that goes with the territory.
Sheesh voluntarily getting on a boat designed to sink makes as much sense as jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.
What was it they used to say about submariners? 100 men go out to sea and 50 couples come back. 
Kidding! Just kidding.

My dad started with F-4U Corsairs (made famous by tv show ba ba black sheep) and ended up flying the "new fangled" gizmos called jets.
Actually, I rather be submerged in a "ship" DESIGNED to do it than one that isn't. Remember there are 2 types of ships...submarines and targets.
When retrieving flight data recorders (aka "black boxes"), we used to tell the crash investigators "there are more airplanes in the ocean than submarines in the sky".

The Corsair was my favorite fighter in WWII follwed by the Avenger and the P-38 Lightning. Maj Gregory "Pappy" Boyington was my favorite pilot. Especially since he flew with 2 of my three favorite squadrons.
1st AVG The Flying Tigers
VMF-214 The Black Sheep
332nd Fighter Group The Red Tails - Tuskegee Airmen
And while it's true that surface ships are targets, I could never get my head around the idea that subs are basically balloons under water. One good hit by a torp or depth charge and it's sayonara submarine and all hands onboard. At least on the surface I had a better chance of surviving. Assuming I could avoid the sharks, Gator Freighters not only had ballast tanks to stay afloat but they had plenty of inflatable life rafts to help accommodate our Jarhead passengers not to mention 4 boats, and whatever landing craft in the Well Deck.

Floating in the "pond" roasting to death, going nuts from exposure, and watching your friends becoming "screaming chum" from "chew on yas" isn't for me. |

Knowing none of us get out of life alive, a quick death is for me. Most people don't know this, Submariners usually don't die from drowning. They die waaay before the water even gets to em from their lungs bursting in flames from compression ignition. I have gone to countless Submarine Birthday Balls and watched sub vets ring the bell for each sub lost. They then announce "all hands lost". This has always driven the point home for me.

lungs bursting in flames from compression ignition
That's the one that bothers me. Don't care if death is instantaneous and I wouldn't feel a thing. As a kid I had a fireworks accident that ended up with 3rd degree burns and it made a lasting impression. Hardest thing I ever did in my life was go thru the firefighting simulator in Norfolk. Only good thing about it was I was wearing so much equipment no one could see how terrified I was. I had nightmares for weeks. And yes the idea of going into a sea covered with burning fuel still gives me shivers. Death by fire bad, any other death preferred.
Quote:
To clarify, I belive its the exploding avioli not "the fire" that kills. A medical type can correct me if I'm wrong. I was just a EMT before the Navy and not too schooled on the subject. I guess I feel an "instant" death by any means is well...um instant and therefore irrelevant of the cause. But having never been through it, I can't be certain. Having also been a volunteer fireman, my least favorite way to die would be a slow death by fire. So I share this viewpoint with you.

Here's a couple of things I like to see added with base stowage. Since I doubt that the developers have time to do this, I seek advise on ideas that folks have been using to "solve" this.
1. Add sort feature for items to be arranged alphabetically (like bank vaults), name of depositor, or date deposited.
2. Add feature to name shelfs. Ex. A through C.
3. Add note section for shelf to help folks in SG know any special "rules".
4. (Minor) Have an option to display/not display additional item details.
Thank you in advance for any mature feedback and/or help.
