Hot Take: Blueprints as actual items is a legacy feature that should have been removed in 2.0

I consider the physical item representing blueprints and planners a legacy feature from a time before the blueprint library existed. A time so long ago, that I wasn't even around to see it myself.

While they were turning circuit wire and spidertron remotes into virtual items, they should have done the same with blueprints and planners.

We keep seeing posts asking "Why can't I take my blueprints into space?" You can! With the library. You're supposed to be using the BP library. I can't even imagine playing the game with my inventory half-filled by blueprints. It all goes into my library, and I'm downright annoyed when a planner ends up in my inventory.

You see, creating a blueprint then clearing your cursor currently puts the BP into your inventory. This is particularly inconvenient if your character is sitting inside a space platform hub, as you can't access your inventory there. They should really be put into your BP library, which is - naturally - how things would work if BPs and planners weren't physical items in the first place.
