so this is mainly applicable to salvage alts and marauders.....
you've got some keys in your salvager/marauder, you keep tossing them out, so you get a small can, then the gate can't read the key from inside the can, so you fish the key out, activate the gate, put the key back in, or (if you forget) don't put the key back in, and dump it in your hangar; the next time you do that mission, you then don't have the key.

little QoL improvement here please?

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Same. I agree with the OP, but not if it takes an inordinate amount of effort or time to setup or causes issues. If it can be done without giving the server an upset stomach, then it'd be cool beans.

I'll +1 it on merit, but it maybe one of those "well...tech hurdles" sort of things.

I don't think it's a technical hurdle, the game simply needs an additional check to view the contents of a container and check if any of them are the key, rather than just verifying only that the container itself is not the key.

On the off chance that you are serious let me educate you.

Many missions, portions of missions etc require a specific key to activate the gates, the bonus room in Angel Extravaganza is just one such place. These key's may not drop every time you run the mission / site so we tend to keep them in our cargo holds for future use. If you use your ship for salvage / loot it is easy to loose these keys in the mass of stuff so these players keep them in cargo containers. However if they are in a container then they will not activate the gate so the OP wants the game changed so it will recognize these keys even if they are in a container.

As stated earlier +1 if this can be done without driving the server squirrels into an overtime frenzy.

Sure I could just enlarge my cargo hold window but then it would take me away from the pretty space explosions!
