Current storage crates are indiscernible from one another in name and appearance. Will it be possible to differentiate storage containers via changes to either the name, the label, the color, or some other means?

TL;DRDifferentiating storage containers by tint, label or name isn't coming this release, but something is planned, though no specific solution has been settled on yet.

Great question. Another thing that we've definitely talked about and have plans for, not going to be in this release, but we definitely want players to lean into the inventory container boxes. And right now, yeah, they're not differentiable. We have ideas for things like tinting and labeling and naming. I don't want to say that anything there is totally concrete, that we are going to do it exactly one particular way, but we're definitely going to do something there. We want to give players a reason to use these more, and then once you use them more, you run into the problem of how do you differentiate between them, to say, okay, this is my weapons container, or this is my armor container, this is my ship items. We want players to have some way to manage all of that to keep it in check. Once you get a few of these going, it's going to become a whack-a-mole about remembering which one it was and opening them and realizing it was the wrong one, or calling the wrong one up from the freight elevator. And so, yes, it's something that we're planning, but don't have a specific solution that we've narrowed ourselves down to yet.
