After a while, the inventory gets cluttered with quest specific items that cannot be sold or auctioned but which have little practical use further along in the game. Can we implement a "garbage can" feature? Alternatively, you could implement an autosell with a value of 0.

The other idea is a storage unit back at the hideout. For example, if you are scavenging for computer parts but do not have enough bits to make a positronic yet, you could empty your inventory into the storage locker and come back and get it later. This would really clean up the inventory screens.

Why not simply have a little way of sorting everything into sections? So you can hide things which you don't want, such as, for instance:

Equipment (Expandable)
-Helmets
-Shirts
-Full-body Suits
-Melee Weapons
-Ranged Weapons
-Offhand Items
-Gloves
-Boots
-Accessories
-Talismans (Each of the above is a subsection, so no expanding/closing but will seperate each bit out)

Usable (Expandable)
-Caffeine
-[Name for pills, mochi balls, and that stuff. Not potions. Please.]
-Hideout (Computers, vehicles, programs, data plates, stuff like that)

Unusable (Expandable)
-Electronic (Computer parts)
-Quest

Inventory sorting is a must either way. I don't think we'll need storage for quite some time though.

I still don't understand why people even need galleries. E-penor?

Right. For things that aren't equippable, or things that you just don't want to have equipped for whatever reason, you need some place to show them off. For example, Cristiona's sig currently proclaims that she's collecting trucks and claims she has 26. I could do that, too and would have no way of proving it. If there were display cases, or glass-doored garages, she could prove her huge collection, and I would be shown as an imposter with only 5.

Glass doored garages? Sheesh, why not set up a live webcam in your hideout? Wave goodbye to secret identity!

(I also don't understand the need for display cases Melon.)

Some of us like to collect things, and then show others what we've collected. It's not necessarily a matter of ego or e-peen, as is evidenced by the fact that I'm collecting trucks even though nobody can see my collection. I would still like to be able to put them on display, if for no other reason than the fact that updating my sig is a pain in the neck.

Regardless, it's really just a matter of personal preference in the game. There's at least one player trying to get 1 of everything, too. I know display cases (of some kind) aren't high on the list, and might never happen, but I'd like to see them.

Actually, one way to do them would be a "Trophy Room" in the hideout. This wouldn't be public, but it would be a place to put the spoils of battle. This probably comes to mind because I just watched Sky High, but the concept of a room to store a hero's trophies from their exploits isn't that uncommon in the superhero genre.
