Like Mathias said the sandbox page takes up way more space than it really needs to right now. The way I use the table (well, I don't really, I usually use wikiwiki's page) is just as a general reference for what upgrade can be done on what day. Splitting up things into multiple tables/sections actually makes more sense from a user perspective because you usually aren't looking for every detail related to upgrading say, 41cm twin mounts, but one of what day, what item, what cost, specifically. Thus I actually think it's functionally better to keep what upgrades into what separate as it makes keeping the layout under control easier while also making it easy to find all the possible upgrades in one spot.

At the very least, putting the full names in the tables has to go, because they aren't going to get much shorter. Also, I dislike making the exact equipment consumption explicit for every item because there's a rule (it usually takes itself) and then there are exceptions, which merit notes and explanation. Having everything written out just makes the table busier without really adding more information.

Putting a different row for each 2nd slot assistant is also not any better than the combined approach the current table takes because it just adds a lot more vertical space without much useful information. If I'm scanning to see what upgrades are available today, scanning over 3 rows is not any faster than scanning over one, and tells me the same thing, because I need to look to the side anyways to see who's available today.
