an idea that i think mission runners and others would like

the ability to assign a item like a MTU to be always at the top left of the hangar or inventory of ship in space ..

could be made into a skill or something but it's a idea that i think many would like.

not sure if it'd be a skill but a better inventory management system is almost mandatory...

I want 2 settable abilities, I want to be able to set one item to always be at the top of the stack, multiple ones tacked can maybe be given priority levels, and then sorted as normal within their priority block.

And then I want the ability to exclude an item from a select-all function (either by selecting all, or by dragging a box around them all) so i can quickly fill/empty cargo and hangars without picking up unwanted bobbles and bits

You eant the MTU always at the top? Play with putting symbols at the start on whatever you set the MTU's name. So far, names like '.name have worked for me.

nice to see someone actually think it's a idea, guess there is still something rattling around up there that works .. however rare it might be ..

Just rename the MTU, or make a filter?

cycling filters takes a couple seconds, not viable when your trying to drop/grab/go in low/null anoms/missions, or at least, not as viable as just being able to have basic behaviour presets for item types.

Well then just rename it and sort by name so the MTU is always at the top spot.

Deploy MTU
Right click on deployed MTU
Select option titled "set name"
Input snarky/witty name
Click OK
MTU is now named and will retain the name when scooped. Note, this also works with Mobile Depots, and probably with the other deployables I don't use.

whattayaknow .. it actually works .. but would still like that option to give a item a star for example and have it top priority in inventory n such .. that was the idea from start, still is.
