BUG: Cannot use or discard Datachips on Nukara Ground Map
Description. Trying to clear inventory, double-clicking datachips in inventory says 'you can't equip that item'. Right-click gives only 'Info', no choice to use or discard. Double-click while in Base Camp gives message 'you can't equip that item'; however, right-click will allow you to discard.

Commentary
A minor annoyance, but still irritating when your inventory is full and you can't get rid of something.
It is quite possible that I already had the three datachips that I was attempting to get rid of, so I can't say for sure that you cannot 'use' them by right-clicking at home base, I didn't think to check until after discard & server kicked me out while typing this so can't check the log, sorry.
However, the datachips had no option to discard on the ground map, and dragging off the inventory bar did not work either.

Likewise, inventory fillilng with Phase Stabilizer Shut Down Codes I can't discard, nor can I use them since the mission they are for is bugging out again. Also for Crystal Fragments.
Datachips are not meant to be equipped in the first place, they're meant to be used, giving you a handful of history in the accolade.
I know - which is why I reported the message 'you can't equip that item' - doesn't make sense. Double-clicking normally 'uses' it, or does nothing if you already have one

Comments
But anyway, yeah, none of the Tholian ground map's unique items have a discard option. So you can't get rid of extras
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
