... looks great, until you try to dress her for the prom. Is CCP ever going to end this silly weapon placement tradition?

Instead of right clicking and selecting fit to active ship you just drag it to the slot you want.

However if you fit the total number of launchers and have a spare slot you can't drag them between as it in game fitter doesn't realise you are trying to 'move' a launcher and says there are no more launcher slots available so you have to unfit one then drag it to the slot you want.

And also by splitting up your launchers in your high slots you get slightly better OH'ing time with them than if they were all bunched up together.

Who needs SP!

Thanks wizard. I forgot about that workaround, clearly.

I blame you people with OCD for symmetry for ruining the Moa/Condor. Asymmetry was part of Caldari hull flavour, but it seems CCP has given in to the OCD folk =/

Moa and Crow were unique ships in the past. Now they are just generic hollywood sci-fi spaceships. Worst part is that people are actually loving it.

Yeah and since the Sentinel has already gone under the OCD treatment, you can bet that in time every single ship will be symmetrical. I honestly don't have a thing against symmetry, if it looks good. The old Moa was iconic, yeah it wasn't the best looking ship but I liked it and it grew on many people, it had character. Yet they somehow managed to make it look even worse just to please the OCD folk =/

The Condor/Crow/Raptor on the other hand were already great looking ships, the change was totally unnecessary IMO and Deerin has it spot on, this symmetry treatment is making previously unique ships look like generic holywood spaceships.

All Hollywood puts out is crap and people eat it up. Why would internet spaceships be any different?

I know what you mean. I honestly didn't like the old versions much, so when the changes were announced I was quite excited. Upon seeing the models I suddenly grew rather fond of the old ones.
