Pleae let us "lock" items in our own inventory

Title. Several times now I found myself suffering for lack of the above functionality.

Here’s how I’d like it to work: I can right click an item or several selected items to toggle its “lock” status on and off. Locked items have a little, unobtrusive padlock icon on them.

If I select a group of items, some of which are locked and some aren’t, then try to move them into another inventory (including jetissoning them), only the unlocked items move. If I try the same with an item or group that is all locked, I get a confirmation window (don’t move / move / move and unlock). Additionally, locked status should persist on the items, including a locked deployable being launched (which shouldn’t require a confirmation), then later scooped.

What would be the purpose of this change? It’s so I can lock my ammunition / MTU / spare modules, and not have to worry about unselecting them every single time I want to empty my inventory at a station.

Yes, I know I can use containers, and I do, but those have several drawbacks.

Signed, a guy who had to jump back to station for his goddamn MTU one too many times.

you know that “item filter” exist ? so you can “lock” your item of choice by just have a filter. super easy and takes no time

I am unfamiliar. Please, educate me.

go to your inventory, look at the left side and you will notice “filters” now you have your free choice to create YOUR personal filter

After some experimenting with it, it does not seem to offer me the functionality I want. Even if I manually set it to hide everything I want to keep - which is far more effort than the two clicks I ask for - I have to enable or disable the filter every time I want to use it.

yeah, setup the filter takes a min or smth …. but what do you want more ? oO

so… you have to enable a filter with 1 click and disable the filter with a second click is to much for you ? sorry but then you want something that works for you and nothing else ….

its not possible to have it easier then 2 clicks -.- and its still to much work ….

yes, I want a system that does not require me going into the filter settings and creating a new exception for the specific name of the specific item every time a mission requires me to carry one.

so… you have to enable a filter with 1 click and disable the filter with a second click is to much for you ?

I don’t think asking for the clicks required to do a common task being reduced to a third is an unreasonable thing to ask.

you dont have to ! its quality of life if you use it but if you dont then youre life is harder :wink: why did you think you have filters ?

this game is easy enough and nobody need more automation ! if you want to sort your inventory you either have to use filters, containers or search your inventory !
