I suggest you decide what you really need.

Yes, but does it really help? Should people be able to store everything they need, or should they have to plan ahead and decide ahead of time what ship would be best in most situations.

90% of the playerbase would fill those slots with 90%

How about..
a) Allow players to 'rent' extra storage spaces on a creds/week basis.
This removes the hardcoded garage limit, but adds another limit of its own. Ie, a player that uses their six slots wisely would save money, whilst a player that buys ups 20 slots and fills them with the most expensive ships they can get, as sono suggests, would find themselves rapidly running out of the creds to support such a fleet.
b) Give Fleets X amount of garage space that is available to the players within that fleet at a reduced cred value. Make X proportional to the total prestige of the fleet.
It then pays to be part of a fleet that is doing well.
edited to expand a little.

While I like the idea of a larger dock, what about the issue of players holding half a dozen loaded transports to protect their shipyards. Trying to cap a sy would become near impossible without raising it to the ground. Not nessecarrily a bad thing, but care needs to be taken in mods to unintended consequences.

I would have to say only have the rental idea implimented when there is a steady form of cash flow again (1k for metals, 5k for some weapon & all that just doesn't cut it for a continuous cash flow).
Other than that, great idea!

I think we need a way of earning creds first. Other than selling to planets.

actuly these are the ships (except the claw) i use all the time and rearly lose one, so they take space when i dont have an ops that need them.
at planet blokades i use them all, when the kluth TAKE IT ALLtm campaign was at its higest, i had an active ship either attacking or defending in MORE than 6 systems so its not to many.....
as for misusing 3 more slots for transports i will not call that exploiting just plain sence to store some troups just in case, as the game is constructet right now.
i can do that right now just go create second profile store all the transports full with troups you need, its faster than logging just log out, log in with (troup profile), take less than a min to do so
i rather want to play with the same profile to get room for the extra ships
another way could let the number of ships you can store be depending on the profile prestige or / and combination of badges
ensign to lt cmd. 3 ships
lt.cmd to admiral 6
ad to fa 9
ga - 12

And force Evil to throw out half a dozen uninvited recruits on a daily basis? Thanks but I'll pass.

Here is what needs tobe done with SY Limit the number of SY's per faction. I miss traveling to battles or intercepting fleets at gates. I dont like the WH or the SY there to easily accessed they have pretty much killed the stratigy part of the game. kill the WH device on ships and put a WH structure on the planet . Better Yet kill WH give us the JD back on stations and Limit the Number of SY per faction,like say 3 to 4 per faction oh Yeah the Current Gate systewm and MV map completly suck it,s a Zig Zag from Hell.

well pay for using sy could be another way to limmit the number of slots
so have loads ofcredits you can run many sy slots have few not
i expect that you can earn more credits in more ways in futore versions so im just thiking ahead.
and you guys should to when you discuss this look at dev log before commenting surgestions and not entirely base your views on how it is now.
