I don't really know how to go about this but I think it would be awesome to allow some consoles have no passive bounce and are only clickable being allowed to be put in the devices slots. I know there are probably going to be a lot of varying opinions about devices slots but I find them more or less to be useless and having a ship the might have 4 or them is a huge waste of space. I never use consumables cuase don't need them dont find they add anything I need and or are boring. There are also a lot of universal consoles that are clickable functions that are kind of useless to waste a consoles on because they add no passive buff but would add a lot more diversity to the game if there was adequate space to put them in.
Suggestion for Consoles that would be allowed in the devices slot would be
Console - Universal - Grappler
Console - Universal - Resonance Cascade Modulator
Console - Universal - Enhanced Plasma Manifold
Console - Universal - Ionized Gas Sensor
Console - Universal - Impulse Capacitance Cell
Console - Universal - Photonic Displacer
Console - Universal - Temporal Destabilization Probe
Console - Universal - Warp Burst Capacitor
Console - Universal - M6 Computer
Console - Universal - Tachyon Detection Field
Console - Universal - Temporal Destabilizer Matrix
Console - Universal - Metreon Gas Canisters
Console - Universal - Nadion Saturation Bomb
Console - Universal - Photonic Decoy Beacon
Console - Universal - Aquarius Escort
Console - Universal - Chevron Separation
Console - Universal - Work Bees
Console - Universal - Aceton Assimilator
Console - Universal - Graviton Pulse Generator
Console - Universal - Isometric Charge
Console - Universal - Plasmonic Leech ( maybe. really not sure about this one to add in this list)
Enhanced Maneuvering Thrusters
Console - Universal - Repair Platform
Console - Universal - Subspace Jumper
Console - Universal - Theta Radiation Vents
Console - Universal - Alpha Deception Field
Console - Universal - Fluidic Phase Decoupler
Console - Universal - Spatial Charge Launcher
Console - Universal - Subspace Integration Circuit
Would like to know anyones thoughts on this. Pros to me it would add more options and diversity, add a propuse to seldom used devices slots.
Cons it would add a bit of a power creep.
Or alternatively remove them from being consoles altogether and have them only be able to be out in device slots . Most of these seem to fit the definition of what a device would be since you are activating something to make it work and do a function.

Now, it wouldn't matter lol.
Yeah. How big of a difference would that really make though? maybe set a limit so that at most only two or 3 of them can be. I think at least all t6 ships have a min of 3 don't they?
To be honest I mostly only want this for the Console - Universal - Aquarius Escort. to RP with the mission pod detaching sometimes. Its a useless Console to slot on over any other real Console.
but I do think it would be overall neat to to utilize some of those listed above in a more none sacrificing way. Aside from the Console - Universal - Subspace Integration Circuit. the rest are boardline mediocre or useless to put on a ship
*disclaimer*
I'm not saying this is going to happen. Just that I think this is an intriguing suggestion for one way to approach the issue of older ship-specific consoles having no passive stat boosts.
Frankly, I'd add the Cloaking Device to this list. It's literally a DEVICE. It's certainly not a "console". Same goes for the Ablative Hull Armor generator from the Intrepid.
@crypticrock you guys could start with the like the Cloaking Device and Aquarius Escort Console , Ablative Hull Armor generator from the Intrepid ect.. Whatever ones come with ships that don't add states
