Suggestion: Loot Swapping

[Xenocidal]

Issue: Cargo hold full, get weapon/drone loot, poofs because no space. Even with clearing my hold at every Shop I come across I have lost so many good weapons to this. So sad right?

Would like to have the chance to swap in the new item and trash my old one.
Would prefer to have that chance with augments as well...

If not that, would at least like to be able to destroy items in my hold to make space.

actually you are right. there should be a choice to swap loot.

kind of sad that there is almost no reply on people's suggestions...

if you can do it with crew it should definetly be possible with weapons and augments

Or take apart the item for scrap. Only get half or less of what you would get for selling it at a store, but still something.

There are plenty of replies if you look here.

And if you look on there there is already partially a reply to this:

When you get the new item you get a new popup (assuming there wasn't a bug). You should be able to drag a weapon from your cargo and swap it with the new item. Then whenever you've put the item you DON'T want inside the popup window, you can discard it with the button.

Was anyone else confused by this? Perhaps we need to make this mechanic more clear.
