It's always handy to have supplies aboard what ever ship you fly regularly (if it has storage space), from food and drink to first aid supplies, and spare ammo etc....but a pain in the ass to move..drag & drop, rinse and repeat. Some of you may be already doing this but I thought of the following:
- Take a subscriber award or pledge bought small / medium back pack (easily identifiable and unique looking if possible).
- Fill backpack with first-aid gear, food, drink, ammo, multi-tool and parts, a spare helmet.
- When you go out...just store your pack on your ship and restock it as needed (this is over and above any emergency gear stored in your armor).
- Transfer your pack between ships.
- Have a second one for ammo and grenades etc.
During FPS missions:
- Do the above but with white mining backpacks.
- Fill it with med-pens, med-guns, med-multi tools.
- Carry it in a larger pack takes up 49% so still plenty of room for ammo etc.
- When SHTF and you or someone needs gear, drop the pack so people can open and grab gear while you fight.
Multiple packs could be pre-made and stored aboard smaller craft such as a Pisces which could be used to re-supply troops in an area as required. The white ones for trauma kits, and yellow (at this stage) ammo etc. Also for operations some kind of standardization format would be required, so someone using a super-rare space pistol that fires potato's runs out of ammo, they're screwed...so something like a standard battle rifle carried during org ops would be a Behring P-4 for instance...so you'd know an ammo pack has the right ammo for you and everyone else.

- Excellent idea. In the ones I'm usually wearing I'm carrying food and drink for at least 12 hours, 5 med pens, 5 oxy pens, and it has enough room for a spare helmet, and ammo. Color coding would make it a perfect setup so I don't get them confused. I mean that almost always happens and it's depressing when I'm trying to transport weapons or clothing and find only food and drink.
