As already mentioned, Sandro discussed this on the Q&A and yes, there's a technical reason. It's a tad lame but basically I think it comes down to the fact that, because the UI currently presents stored modules in a long flat list, scrolling down a list of a 1000 modules would be impractical. Basically (and this applies to bookmarks and friends lists and group management and any potentially long lists of data), you need, at the very least, to implement some sort of folder structure (or better still a named/categorised/keyworded faceted search facility) if you're going to do this "properly". Since FD are too busy to do this "properly" at the moment (and hey, I understand what that's like) the quick solution is a flat list and a limit on the number of entries.

Will already existing weapons get modified?
- Slight reduction to the effectiveness of Incendiary rounds for Multicannons:
Hmmmm also good post
Hmmmm also good post
No animation? What exactly?
Hmm, but why put it into the patch note then?
With Sandro saying they'd like to address this in future (no ETAs no promises ©). So there's really no need for anyone to keep on arguing about it. Now is the time to come up with suggestions for a proper UI (I know, no one will bother with that
)
Ouch... that incendiary multicannon nerf is going to suck for my all-multicannon Corvette build.
Of all bugs that needed to be squashed, this one didn't. The animation should be skippable, its a PITA to watch if for the 666 thousand time unable to proceed forward. Makes changing role of the ship a chore. QoL anyone?
I am unable to switch from the fighter to the mothership.
Hey Sandro or Zac, could you please consider giving us more incentives to wing up? let's have mission rewards being SHARED between wings, along with bounties and more.
Currently the game gives you zero incentive to wing up with others.

I've been assuming that optimisation will be the last task (as it should be) and they haven't got around to it yet. If it goes Live as-is though... VR for Elite will be useless to me
I agree.
My friend is 'poor' in this game. We do not wing in Res sites because I don't need the money.
The only way I can inject his cash flow is by very tedious 'Slave Drops' that he collects with limpets.
He said yesterday that he was doing missions for empire to get naval rank. Yet he has a Python (yaaaay!) that he rarely uses, due to costs.
I told him that if we traded LARGE amounts at Imp slave trade routes, he can rank, we can make $$$ and dividends apply.
He likes to do missions though. He only plays 3 or 4 hours a week... if that.
If there was some new way to share time in the game, yet fly together while leveraging all profits and ranks to him... that would truly be an addition to the level of
'quality of life'.
