Wouldn’t it be neat to have a one per character station vault where you can put more than 1k items at once. Maybe make so you can extract from it once every _arbitrary number of_ minutes and up to _an arbitrary number of_ items at once. ---

Use station containers. Get like a t1 industrial and fit it for cargo hold and transport station cans where you need them. unpackaged they’re like 10km3 and my t1 industrial can hold 3 of them at a time. Just name them appropriately and keep your items organized. Edit: Never use the t1 cargo hold expanded industrial to transport goods to the market though as their ehp will be easy for a single grouping of 1400s to break. ---

I have no knowledge of the technicalities behind having the item cap. Because the lag we normally experience when dealing with big numbers of items at once I assume it’ll be less strain on the server to put a hard cap on how many stacks you can extract at once. Hence the _maybe_ at the beginning of the sentence. ---

Would be nice if the cap was moved up by a bit or two, even a byte. Going from 1024 to 32768 would help out substantially. > [@Aiko\_Danuja](#): > > I find it very unlikely that anyone has ever hit the one thousand item cap. It’s quite easy to do, though tieracide has helped a lot to cut back on it. Especially once you get into manufacturing, or loot a few dozen amar ships with used crystals or otherwise non-packaged items. ---

It always amazes me how when somebody makes a suggestion be it IRL or on the Eve forums there’s this type of person who starts tutoring you _for free_ on whatever authority you’re referring to’s behalf how things can’t happen for this and that reason. You are not CCP and not a dev (not on the acc you’re posting with). My question to the forums (read _you_) was whether there’s more guys who would like the idea or not. It’s then CCP’s job to tell us whether this is technically possible or not. I am sure there are plenty of people who don’t reach the 1k cap, I am however one of those that do and often so. What _you_ (or I) think on a personal basis in regards to the cap being lifted is pretty much meaningless. But if there is enough who would like it to be changed then why not? ---
