Hold on, this will be long. When I started there were only premium tabs to buy, which were cool to group stuff and to lazily setup your buyouts - unofficial trading sites were scraping data from such tabs. My setup worked so I didn't bother with Currency tab when that came out. GGG kept adding mechanics with more trinkets for you to loot and more specialized tabs for you to get.

Before Quads were out, I was dumping stuff to those four basic tabs you get from the start, it kinda sucked to keep rotating their positions in the stash when one filled and it was annoying to sort stuff on inevitable clean up. Now I can practically live in that one Quad for the first few days of the league and since all stuff is in one tab, filtering out the items with keyword searches and sorting is not cumbersome.

It's fun to look back now on all the remove-only premium tabs that I picked for storing currency and to visually see rows of orbs that I ended up hoarding at the end of particular league.

Quad tab for dumping. Premium tabs for sorting trophies after that fills up, so you can name and group stuff. Not sure how point costs wise that looks though.

Mind you, I like inventory tetris and despite playing from 2013, I've never bought the specialized tabs. Hell, with all the auto-sorting stuff they implemented a while back you can sort of make your premiums act like those now.

I always liked how Freespace have done this. Your wingman don't get to have unique names nor plot armor but you could give them commands and they felt really useful. They were not permanent companions and yet you cared about them and felt something when they went down.

Would be cool to get an implementation of that system. Imagine defending the vehicles graveyard in Garbage with a squad of loners assigned by Bes for you to command.
