Yep, just a small addition to the fit browser where you could buy the whole fit at once, maybe like this:

Quote:


Buy Fitting

Buy range: station/system/constellation

Prefer: Closer/Cheaper (closer = buy at station if possible even if range "constellation" is selected)

Buy: all/not in my hangar

+ Modules unavailable in this station/system/constellation:
- Module A
- Module B

+ Stations
- Station 1 - N jumps - X items
- Station 2 - M jumps - Y items
- Station 3 - O jumps - Z items


Estimated price for Modules: XXXXXXXX ISK (will select all cheapest sell orders in selected range)

Fit average worth: YYYYYY ISK (you got the data in the KMs so you could use it here too)

Accept price variation of [ N ] % (+/- YYYYYYYY ISK)

Place buy order for the next 20 Minutes [ OK ] [ Cancel ]




Didn't see this in the commonly proposed ideas, so either I'm a genious for having this idea or nobody want's it. Got to give it a try. Whats your opinion?

I would use it. Maybe with a graphical representation that allows you to deselect modules that are overpriced?

It would be nice, but I would venture to guess that it runs into the same db-call horror issue that keeps them from creating a “sell all” function. Straight

Well then why not

And one could even do it for a "sell all" button ( + set some maximum item count).

i doubt lack of sell all has so much to do with db-call horror as it does with inability to create suitable UI for mass order posting

i would use OP feature

You are about to engage in an arguement with a forum alt,  this is your final warning.
