Overclock choices
I wish there was an option to prevent certain overlock choices from happening again. If you choose to salvage, it turns the overclock into an item. I've only tried it once and it gave me an epic paint job. It might do that every time, I'm not sure. Salvage should also prevent one or both options from being seen again, since the player already elected to miss out on those overclocks due to how detrimental they would have been.

Some weapons have really good overclocks that open up fun and interesting playstyles and some become objectively worse. The main one that comes to mind is the minigun that gunner starts with. I started a run and focused on weapon upgrades until I got the first overclock, but the options both had -25% reload speed. I didn't want bigger clip size or to double my armor while reloading from 4 to 8. Reload is the minigun's greatest weakness and making it worse, especially at the start, is a run ender. I salvaged it and got to my second overclock option a few minutes later... and it gave me the exact two same choices. Changing my damage to fire would have also been terrible since I had several kinetic weapons and had been buffing kinetic damage.

I don't think it would even mess with the game balance to eliminate choices from the option pool. There's 5 basic overclock options and if you're willing to completely skip two overclock upgrades in order to guarantee one of your choice at level 18, that seems like a fair tradeoff. I haven't had this issue with the other classes or weapons, so perhaps the minigun's overclocks need to be tweaked instead. I know overclocks are generally supposed to have downsides, but -reload speed is the most crippling mod in the game and having it on TWO overclocks is too much.

Or show up again if you already have it. Seismic Repulsor can get slow effect x2 and they do not seem to stack at all.
