I see a role for a fleet support ship that can dock with isolated stations and ships so that they can safely remove upgrade chips without destroying them. I am not concerned about the E-Dock Stores/Purchase aspect of said ship, only the capability to park with another ship or station in isolated space to help that ship or station swap-out lower-quality upgrade chips without destroying them, so that other ships & stations in the player fleet can make use of those same upgrades.
I want to impart Safe Removal of Permanently-Installed upgrades to a MOBILE, volume-limited service boat that can travel with a fleet, or alone, and will perform that same E-Dock Safe Removal mechanic without having to Dock to and Fly an entire E-Dock station to the target sector. The current practice of docking and flying one station to service the upgrades of another station in a different sector is about the stupidest gyration I have ever seen in a space game - it is a bad concept and cumbersome in execution - STATIONS shouldn't be flying ANYWHERE ... They're called "stations" for a reason - by definition, they are fixed points in the geography. If we have a need to fly stations anywhere, then let's put engines on them and leave it at that.
I will emphasize that this item should be applied to a low-volume service ship as an Upgrade or special block.

No, there is NOT a mod for that ...
