I am hoping for something like this in Private Companies with the Private Company housing. I was hoping it would have a communal storage somewhere inside where you could drop off mats and items and then people who needed them could pick them up. Beats selling them to the NPC ^^

I don't think they will do much with the LS system as I really don't think it was supposed to be in the game. I think Private Companies was the LS system but as it wasn't ready at launch for whatever reasons they had to knock together the LS system we have now so they had something ready for launch. It would explain why the current LS system is missing a lot of basic features.
