Suppose you have just a few propulsion slots and 4 weapon slots and then find a stash of 6 prototype wings and you wish you could change your weapon slots into propulsion slots. Or suppose you found some shielding devices but don't have the engine slots or power amplifiers to make use of them in the long-term. Instead of leaving behind parts or carrying the to the next floor, the answer to this is a Core Reconfigurator, an alien artifact that can immediately switch 1 or 2 slots of 1 type into another type.

Yeah this could be interesting, although it would require a new UI feature, and I'm generally against any part that requires a new/unique UI of its own.
That and it can be more of a challenge to try to work with what you've got. Of course if it's not guaranteed then that doesn't matter too much, not to mention adaptability and flexibility are certainly in tune with Cogmind's theme...
So far the only way I can see doing this, in order to avoid the UI dilemma, is perhaps changing your evolution behavior such that if you have this thing you can instead rearrange all of your slots when you next evolve (like at least once--say that's when you're more "malleable").
