Tier-Upgrade Element Swapping

[Taelessael]

A simple idea, allow an element to be replaced with variants of the same element (ex: swapping Basic Atmospheric Engine M with Advanced Military Atmospheric Engine M). The purpose behind this would be to allow someone to upgrade a pre-existing ship or structure with higher-tier elements without having to either re-link everything or re-doing potentially difficult element placements.

 

I'd personally like if it returned the element being replaced, but even if it didn't this would still be a very helpful addition to the game.
