for thoes who don't know, middle click on most slots will create a filter. Like for train wagons, you don't want anything but 1 type of item to go it? hold 1 items, press middle mouse and hold, and drag it around. Of course, you can also mix. And copy paste.
Also handy if you don't want gun or ammo since you can do such filter on the weapon (btw, did you every try to eqiup mutiple (same) weapons in the same slot? they actually stack (as an item and not power or stat)
And of course, this includes for your own inventory. Like the mech armour in the very 1st slot = if you died, go back to your corps, you will 100% equip it due to this slot existing VS issues that it did not equip due to not enough space, exactly because of mech armor not equiped.... BTW, insted of holding to collect your corps, you are better off opening it like it's a chest and press to transfer all items, this is instant and stress free....
And after all this, i think i can make everyone understand that similar happens with the space ship. Due to storage overflow, you don't have space for important or neccesary items so you need somehow to empty the ship. But if such filter can be set, this means, you'll have 100% guarantee slots for said items, since no other item can ocupy it (warning, this includes same item but different quality rank, will NOT be able to be put there.... unless you used the any quality)
And top of all that: We can add more storage, but, how long does it take you to find the items you want? Yep, this is another thing. By drag filtering, we can set it so that materials we mass hoard on the space ship (or the landing hub?) will be automatically set at the end of the storage container, as such, any items that have not been set to such slot, will show in the top, meaning it will be much more easier to sort, find, and manage items
Filter slot (don't know the correct term) for space ship inventory
