So I was thinking what about adding another storage container but with a lock, similar to a shipyard how you have to put in a code if someone owns it.

Also adding a door schematic that you can put on your ship, just to add a little more customization. Thoughts?

We toyed with the idea of locks but didn't want it to be an advanced schematic that beginning players wouldn't have access to and be at a disadvantage. One thing we're trying out right now is that storage containers are simply inaccessible to anyone not registered to a ship until they have been damaged enough.

Similar to how a cannon would stop working when it has taken too much damage, a container would stop "working" once damaged enough too.
