Only UIM accounts can answer this question. What solution for UIM do you want to suggest for the Cargo Hold?

Text entry question answers are not shown

Only UIM accounts can answer this question. We've seen mixed feedback on how much effort it takes for UIM to upgrade their boat, since a lot of different materials are required for certain upgrades, and they all need to be handed in at one time. Some players love this as it provides a "classic UIM" feeling, but others might feel that it's excessively hard as it requires so many slots. How do you feel about the current process of upgrading your ship as a UIM player?
