Individual Item Claim Mode

>Individual Claim Mode Update
Today's maintenance build update includes a new feature to item recovery. Freight elevators now have a new "Claim Mode" button on the terminal that will only be accessible at your home location. This new Claim Mode button brings up a window with all platform (website) owned ship items (other than vehicles, consumables, and items in a vehicle's default loadout) and allows you to claim one ship item at a time back to your home location. Claiming an item will add it to the inventory accessed by the kiosk (may require refreshing the window) and brick the previously owned item. For filtering, an "Exclude Paints" checkbox at the top hides all paints from the list for cleaner access.
