This will be the kind of thing that you could be retrieving as part of a mission, or you could stock a couple in your ship's cargo bay to use later? There are a couple of different uses for a case of this kind.

TL;DRYes, the idea is item cases like a medical kit, and possibly weapon cases with magazines and attachments, so players get a full kit at once instead of buying each piece separately.

Exactly. One of the reasons I came up with the idea originally was because whenever I do a playtest and I go and buy weapons, I always get annoyed that I have to buy a weapon and I have to scroll down and find the exact mag for the gun that I want and stuff. One of the versions we want to do is a weapons case that comes with some attachments in it, some magazines and stuff. Like a full service kit.

Exactly. Just give me, you know, we call it a first aid kit. That's legitimately what we're looking at. Like a whole kit, you would just get this item and you would have everything that you need to go out for.

Yeah, because in real life, you wouldn't go and buy each bandage individually from the shop and go to the counter and buy one bandage at a time, you'd buy a full kit with everything you needed to get started. So that's kind of the idea that started this stuff. But its applications, there's a lot. So this one in particular will be a medical one, but there's loads of things that it could be used for.
