Alternate name: Emergency dumping

This may be an appropriate response to highwaymen, space pirates, or others demanding you drop whatever you're carrying/transporting.

The emphasis here is on the triviality of the action. Needing to enter inventory screen and drag all items individually off is quite far from what this is for.
