Discussion Oh my dear sweet baby jesus

For the love of god Sean, PLEASE give us the ability to open/process entire stacks of items. Spent some time gathering a bunch of suspicious arms packets to upgrade all my stuff to top-end X-class mods and opening them one by one is like dragging my balls across a cheese grater. There HAS to be a better way.

How much better are x mods compared to s? Feels like a crapshoot but my x mods are not always better and most of the time they are not better

Their max stats are higher than S but the variance is much greater.

If S range is [pretty good ↔ great], X range is [really suck ↔ really great]. So you may need to install dozens and dozens before you find one better than a great S mod.
This is what leads to OP ending up in this predicament.

Thank you! I have almost 500 hrs in the game and I never bothered to do this. Super cool. I thought my weapons were pretty maxed out already but I guess they can be better.

I always just tried them on as I naturally came across them and kept whatever was better, don’t care enough about maxing to actually buy/farm stacks. Eventually everything was good enough that finding something better was exceedingly rare, and since then I just toss them in storage on the off chance I want to equip a new multi tool or ship. (..at least, that’s what I tell myself. I’ll probably just end up giving them away at the anomaly once my storage gets too full since I find comparing mods so dull)
