You want to know why my vault is almost always full? Because I'm hoarding ghost shells, jumpships, and sparrows like there's no tomorrow.
Why am I doing this? Because I know that if I erase them, I won't be able to get them back! I have to hold on to them until collections are brought in, so that at least the game will remember that I had them and unlock them in the collection for me. I'm also fairly certain I'm not the only person with this issue.
If we had collections for the cosmetic crap in our inventory, then that would enable me to free up tons of space in my vault.
In fact, we should do the same with Shaders and the transmat mods. Just give us a cost of some sort to retrieve them from the kiosk (higher cost for raid, trials, and timed event shaders and such).
I'm so sick of being unable to grab new weapons and armor because my vault is full of cosmetics.
[b]EDIT:[/b] Some people are rightfully pointing out that this might interfere with the collection of Bright Dust, seeing as breaking down unwanted cosmetics earns bright dust to buy stuff from Eververse. Adding collections for these items would break the game if they still dismantled into Bright Dust, so that aspect of them would need to be changed for this to be implemented.
This doesn't change my opinion that we need collections for the things mentioned in this post, but it does mean that if we get them, other sources of Bright Dust will be needed to compensate. I suggest the following:
1) Bright Dust earned for every Bright/Illuminated Engram opened should increase.
2) Bright Dust should also be earned by participating in events like Iron Banner, Faction Rally, and The Dawning. The Dust earned during these activities will be higher than the amount earned through Eververse Engrams.
This way, Bright Dust can still be reliably obtained by those who want Eververse items but don't want to pay real money.
Ultimately, this is just a suggestion, and there may well be better ones out there. Just pointing out that the Bright Dust shortage that would arise from the collections being implemented can definitely be remedied.
