Item swapping, or at least less permanence

[Kend0]

I understand why locking in items is a thing, since upgrading them and then transfering them to different units would damage the "veterency" based gold economy, however i think it might be useful to allow the de equiping and re equiping of items. I know every item has its purpose, but i feel that allowing some less rigid experimentation would add some variation in the game.

When picking an island, it would be fun to not only decide on the squad but what items you decide to give to each squad before the fight starts. If there are ever more than the 4 item types we see now, it would be quite cool to pick and chose who gets what depending on the map and what squads youve got to bring along, instead of the current "you got this item, so you either equip it and live with it forever, meaning you cant equip what you deem to be a more useful item on that unit or you save it and dont use the item and have it gathering dust in your inventory, not even being upgradable until its given to a unit".

If i was to change the whole item system, i would create a new category called the armoury (only one copy of each item can be unlocked, with a greater variation of items to be found in a run), and in order to upgrade armoury items you have to pool coins into the armoury icon after each island. These items are never attatched to a unit until on an island (if the unit dies the item is lost), and once the island is finished they return to the inventory.

This is just food for thought (no food required) so if you've got something to add, fire away.

I would settle at least for giving us the option to "destroy" an item to make room to put a different item in its place.

I understand if devs want us to make "hard choices," but I would say at least let us replace an item (at the cost of the slotted item) -- I think this gives some better flexibility later in the game, or after you discover some item isn't all that and a slice of bread. :) And we're still making a tough choice by sacrificing a slotted item to put in something else.
