I wouldn't call it lazy. It takes a lot of time to upgrade your mod mules and sell your new worst mods off. Last 2 times I did it, it took about 2 hours each.

Inevitably, people will say, "then when people hit the cap of X, they'll complain it should be higher." Okay... so? The cap could be 1, and mods would still function. No matter what limit you set, someone will hit it and complain. So what's a reasonable limit?

There's no practical reason the limit shouldn't be higher. Memory costs next to nothing. So set a free limit, say 500, and let us use resources in-game to acquire extra slots. Those that are happy with 500 would still be happy. Those like me would gladly spend crystals to expand their inventory. Whoever is left would have less standing to complain.

My pipe dream...

IMO a reasonable limit is 500 for every mod type for example:
health=500
defense=500
cc=500
cd=500
speed=500
offense=500
tenacity=500
potency=500

So a simple increase from a cap of 500 mods to 4000 would be reasonable?

Yes, Yes, Yes.
This is the way!
It is NOT 4000 total but 500 cap per mod type.
If you reach the 500 health cap it goes too inbox.
If you reach the 500 defense cap it goes too inbox.

Some mods have more utility than others - Does anyone really need storage for 500 tenacity mods and 500 defense mods? Why separate them? Does anyone actually have hundreds of defense mods that are all so good, they can't find any that they can live without?

I'd argue that no one 'needs' more than 500 mods in storage. I'd be really surprised if someone had enough specialized mods that they really utilized more than 100 or so slots for mods they actually used that aren't always equipped on another character. I don't think it's going to hurt anything to increase the storage cap, but I also don't think it solves the problem. Developing a method for curating your mod collection quickly and efficiently is the cure - but that's not something CG can do for the players - players have to do that on their own and find what works best for them.

I missed anyone saying they "need" more to function. It's that the current limit places more tedious burden on the player, so we (royally) WANT more.

No one needed squad loadouts, fleet loadouts, mod loadouts, improved mod management, sim tickets, filters, sorts, shortcut buttons, etc. Why should this QOL improvement be any different than the others? Obviously, many people find 500 to be a burden. And some don't. I didn't really care about fleet loadouts or the improved mod management tools (HU user), but I can appreciate why others did want those things.
