Is the inventory system going to allow members in the same party to share items that are stored within a ship, or will that come with a later updated party/org system?

TL;DRWith the current placeholder local inventory, party members cannot share ship items since each person sees only their own, but true physical inventory is intended to be accessible by any player.

Well, essentially, going forward, we still have the placeholder solution of local inventory. So we didn't want to put loads of engineering time into a placeholder solution, which is the local inventory, which is the temporary bag of holding. So the answer is, going forward, absolutely yes. We want org members and other players to be able to access inventories and share things. With the current implementation of local inventory, the answer is no. So that is on a per person inventory. So if I go onto a ship and it's your ship, Jared, I can open up the ship inventory and it will only be my ship inventory. And if you open up the ship inventory, it will only be your ship inventory. But local inventory, as I've said, I think on multiple ISCs and SCL live before, local inventory is a placeholder solution until we have true physical inventory, which will be lockers, compartments, weapon racks, cargo hold, so on and so forth. And that will be accessible by any player.
