I believe Equiptment handling could use some love in some areas. So here's a list of areas that I think could be improved: 1. 1,000 Equipment limit - I run a fleet of six Scavenger Captains, they will bring in over 500 items over a 6h operation. Combine that with me clearing pirate sectors, I very quickly run into that 1,000 item limit. So I frequently am forced to visit a Equipment Dock or Research Station to reduce my equipment item count by selling or researching. "Quickly" is a relative term, but it feels like I am constantly pushing against that 1k item limit. There is probably some game design reason for it, but could we maybe up that limit to 10k or remove it entirely in the game options with an appropriate warning? 2. Sell at Equipment Dock - I wrote a different post about that, but thats screen feels like the reason for the 1k limit. Add filters for Item Quality and Item Type (going by Icon) to make it easier to use than our current option of browsing through a ton of pages listing all the items. 3. P-Menu->Inventory, I-Menu->Subsystems, building screen -> turret selection - the free text search option is nice and all, but i'd like a dropdown filter by Item Symbol or function. I have encountered situations where filtering for "mining" in the build menu turrets has shown me salvaging turrets, so it'd be nice to specifically filter for R-Miners or Purifiying Miners or something along those lines. Probably be a good idea to add super categories for DPS, Defensive, Mining, Salvaging, Force. But going by Icon would be a decent start. 4. Research All - I am vaguely aware that there is a mod for that. When I do research I will aim to upgrade all items of similar function and item quality. There may be twelve types of Common Combat Turret Control Systems, but they basically do the same thing and I am upgrading them to Uncommon anyways. When I research I will always use three out of five items, maybe there should be an option for that, but as I understand 3 out of 5 gives best upgrade rate over all. Obviously there needs to be a setting of max item quality to use, like "everything Uncommon and below is trash anyways, so please try to research that into blue items".

Docked at Equipment Dock I find myself selling certain item types because I do not care for them. In my case Sphynx ( i dont loot containers), Battery Boosters, Cargo Boosters, any form of Ship Speed Upgrades, Sensor Boosters and probably some more. Please give me a filter on the Sell Equipment window for item type (going by equipment icon) and as an added bonus a "Sell All" button. The "Sell Trash" button is *an* option, but I run a fleet of six or more scavenengers and I dont want to browse all those items to mark them as trash.
