Squad InventoryThe word "tedious" suggests that inventory management is an undesirable task. Personally, I think acquiring, upgrading, and equipping the proper items is a big part of the role-playing experience.
Whenever Shepard finds an upgraded weapon he scans it with his omni-tool, uploading detailed data to his ship. Using that data, this ship's armory can replicate the weapon, making it available to any squad member trained to use that weapon type. For example, if you find a superior shotgun, your armory will fabricate copies, making that shotgun model available to any squad member with shotgun training. This gets rid of tedious inventory management tasks, like unequipping and transferring items between squad members.
