Is it possible to get an Item Bank?
It could be on one "bank planet" or if you could choose your "home planet" - what ever ...
The point is, that sometimes you will loose some equipment in combat, which can be pretty hard to get, so it would be cool if you could stack up on the items from start, so instead of having to fight your way through nomad terrotory, you can just go to the bank and restock your ship.
