I am encouraged by all the posters who are in support of this issue. This is something the community wants and it affects the gameplay where we, as players, are unable to properly utilize an in-game feature due to a bad interface and/or design choice.
My view is that when the available repairs come up, the empty slots should be excluded from being select-able and a release of the consumable button should finalize the choice. There are also some excellent ideas/alternates posted in the thread link below. Perhaps the ST players have better thumb dexterity than me, but I am confident that the masses out there do experience issues with this feature as implemented.
I am available for testimony, depositions, face to face, video conferencing, whatever it takes to convince staff that this is a real issue that needs to be fixed right away. I would like to formally request the devs, mods, whomever calls the shots here (no politics please), to look at the video and understand how this issue affects gameplay.
