[Suggestion] Equipment Slots & Treasure Chests (Chooseable Loot)

This suggestion involves two things: equipment slots and treasure chests.

Equipment Slots gives the player the ability to drag and drop suit modules or tools/weapons into the appropriate equipment bar above the inventory screen. the character has 4 slots each for tools/weapons and suit modules by default, the number can be increased with a special module. tools/weapons are now switched in two different ways, instead of assigning specific tools/weapons to the number keys as before, there is now the option to map a single number key and switch using the mouse wheel (like "+" blocks in the G menu). There is also the option of placing the respective tool/weapon slots directly on the number keys (if, for example, you always want to call up the tool in the first slot with a specific key).

Treasure chests contain modules for the equipment slots, the player can choose one module per chest. the chest come in three versions : the starting chest is only available at respawn, it contains all the basic modules plus the planetary jetpack and the advanced expansion module. basic chests contain only basic modules while advanced chests contain all modules. you can only choose one module from each chest. only one module of each type may be equipped (a basic version cannot be equipped together with an advanced version and vice versa). advanced versions are better but usually have a penalty.

One important thing needs to be noted. the character loses the ability to fly on planets/moons. The reason for the start chest or treasure chests in general is to give the player the ability to use a jetpack on planets if she/he deems it necessary. the same applies to the Advanced Expansion Module, it gives players the opportunity to equip a total of 6 tools/weapons. that's why I think the start chest is important to make it easier to get used to the new system.

*must now be equipped, can still be built in the assembler

**the ir light increases night vision. Without IR light, the Next Gen NVG has the same night vision capability as the basic NVG, but can further improve it by switching on IR light. IR light can be seen by all active NVG wearers.

***looks like an activated suit antenna in game. should be visible about 1000m away.
