I posted this in a seperate post before I saw this one, but here goes anyway:
In addition to the 2 types of access to the hangar (Can Query, and Can Take) we should also have "Can Drop".
Why you ask me? well here's why: to be able to have Query/Take only hangars where players wouldn't be able to put the items back. Why again you ask again? Well here's why:
If for example, you have a corp who pools everything in the corp hangar, and provides its members with what they need... you don't want every member to have access to every type of items (noobs getting easy access to very rare drop when they are only in a frigate?), so you want to sort items in different sections depending on their level, and only allow take access to some of them depending on the rank of the member. The problem with this and the current system is for the hangar manager that has to sort everything...
If everymember that can take an item from a hangar can also drop anything in that same hangar... well no matter how many times you tell them to always repack the items, and only put everything in 1 specific hangar for you to sort it later (common drop hangar), there's still some lunatics that will drop junk where it doesn't belong, and the poor hangar manager will have to take 20 minutes to repack/resort everything..
It's hard to explain right, so I hope you get what I mean.
By having the choice to give separate Query, Take, and Drop access, you could have a setup like this:
Hangar 1: everyone can Query and take, only hangar manager can drop
(basic loot, small ammo, and other abundant items)
Hangar 2: everyone can Query, but only higher level fighters can take, only hangar manager can drop.
(cruiser gear, more advanced modules, more advanced ammo...)
Hangar 3: everyone can query, everyone can drop, but only the hangar manager can take.
(Common drop for haulers and every member. Place where the hangar manager can sort everything from)
See what I mean?
Someone also asked me why I wanted to have "showcase" hangars (in my other post)... Well, as I replied to him: How can a noob requests for a better item that we have in our possession, if he cannot see what's available?
