One thing that I've noticed that extremely frustrating is that you cannot search for items that are contained in Station Containers. One must go through and individually look through every container for items.

I think that including station containers/vaults in asset searches would be a valuable addition to the game. If it's a matter of security, you could create a new option in the configuration menu for the containers that would allow the contents to be searchable.

On the subject of containers, it'd be very helpful to have them appear like 'folders' under the corporation assets menu for a station

Totally support both suggestions.
It can be frustratingly difficult especially when you have a lot of items, and can't find it by browsing.

It would be great if there are Hangar Rooms, which function like "drawers" or "folders".
So I put my stock of weaponry in Hangar Room 1, items for trade in Hangar Room 2, collected items like insignia in Hangar Room 3 etc.

So even if you can't remember what an item is called, you will know which room you usually put it in.

Thanks :)

Having different hangars would be nice but that's what the station containers are for I believe. I think having standalone containers granted to players in all stations would be nice but they will probably never implement anything like this in the game.

Another thought that I had in reference to station containers. Allow us the option of permitting different people to access those containers in a way that is similar to corporate hangars. You would have to add people to a list so that they could access the container and then remove them from the list when you don't want them to have access to it anymore. I know that it would be extremely helpful for me because I run missions with a group of people and being able to group all of the loot together at the end where everyone could see it would be nice.
