There needs to be a change in starship mastery unlocks. Starship traits that a ship unlocks at level 5 should be inherently activated in the ship without having to select it as a starship trait.
You have a limited number of trait slots. Many players own far more ships with traits than they have trait slots. They also might be flying a ship because they like it, but don't want to use its trait.
Also, I think traits do get auto-added when you have an empty trait slot.
What I think is a QOL change that needs to happen, instead, is lockbox/promo ship traits being account-wide unlocks like T6 traits on legendary ships, because it's completely unfeasible for a normal (not rich) player to afford getting a ship that valuable multiple times, and some of the traits are super valuable. >_<
Let's not confuse a Mastery unlock with a Trait unlock!
As you progress a ships' Mastery level from 1 through 4, it unlocks buffs for that ship.
At Mastery level 5 (and sometimes 6), you're unlocking a Trait, not a buff - and that Trait must be slotted to gain the benefit of it.
If that Trait was considered a buff, then it'd be active all the time, perhaps modifying captain skills or abilities that I don't want it modifying.
...lockbox/promo ship traits being account-wide unlocks like T6 traits on legendary ships...
Much as I'd like for all ships to have an option for their traits to be unlocked account-wide, such a change would de-value lockbox ships and result in more damage to the ingame economy.

every time I hear TRIBBLE should be account wide RIGHT NOW i think of a 5 year old stomping her feet. If they did unlock everything all at once then the same people would be stomping their feet demanding something else... try playing the game, folks
