i see lots of posts here from obvious linux user.

KDE is for softies, the REAL man uses only command line.

Real men use a teleprinter over a serial connection.

Eject fuel from reserve tanks - in combat should be ignitable by any weapon fire / heat source ( heat sink, engine boost ) produce nice visual and explosive damage to any ship inside it's 'bubble'

Ignitable? How exactly?

Ignitable? How exactly?

Open the window and throw a match out

( NOTE: ejecting while stationary and then boosting should damage your own ship! )

yes
first you need to carry enough oxygen with you to create a gas cloud that can actually burn
and then... gas in space will disperse so fast that its gone in milliseconds

Back on topic...

Sell all cargo. In the 33rd Century, we'd expect commerce to be really easy...

Purge secondary tanks: Again, it's the 33rd Century .

You're onto something, for sure. When in the commodities screen, I've always been irqued that you have to scroll down, see whats in cargo to sell. Even for missions, or CG's, you have to do this. All they'd need to do is have a checkbox at the top, so it sorts the list so what is in your cargo is at the top of the list. Im fairly certain every Windows window can sort things by whichever column you pick. But in 3303, no way. I just realized maybe sometime in the future, civilzation may have been wiped out and redeveloped in a way so some things we have now, aren't how they will be. Sort? What magic is this you speak of? Telepresense, yes. Sorting, that's crazy talk!

Next, you go to switch your ship, and it says "sorry, you cant do that, as you have this *** in your hold" which means you have to exit all that and purge your junk. In no way, can an option be there to "Purge everything, and switch to new ship. (warning, you may have passengers) " ??

Heading back into Elite...

They should just sell these in the store. Make it a bobblehead or something.

Go on, I'll bite, 'cause I'm fascinated.

How, please, does being unable to sell all cargo in a single transaction make this game more 'Dangerous'?

 

[Virandar]

Yes please as for 1. As for 2. some option to jettison fuel. I don't typically use secondary tanks, so something that applies to primary, secondary, tertiary would have to be put in place.

Sell all might sounds good.

But the fuel thing. I rather have a turn on off for secondary tank. It would require a player to have less fuel then the secondary tank can hold.
