In the ship hanger when I right mouse click on a ship icon I get a list of options, one of which is to 'strip fitting' even though that ship may not be active. Can we please have a right mouse click option to 'fit ship'? When selected this option would open the ship fitting window and allow you to fit the highlighted ship.

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

I would also like the ability to fit ships I cannot sit in, or strap rigs into them, etc.

Thanks for continuing to troll!

You realize that none of your fitting skills will work then ? Which means you can't fit them properly anyway ?!

Oh, I know I wouldn't be able to online anything. Just want to see someone undock with a shiny thing and then pop because they didn't check everything was online. I get handed faction battleships and similar too often not to want to do this for the lulz alone.

CCP is making it if i recall so you can place modules on a ship even if you cant use them, you just cant online them. As for fitting a ship your not in. Whether I can fly it or not, Id still enjoy this.

I am sorry, but I am not getting it (I know you can fit mods without enough PG and CP), for whom are you fitting a ship ?

If you fit it for yourself and can't fly the ship, whats the point.
If you fit for someone who can fly it, why can't he - whats the point ?
And if you fit it for someone who can't fly it either ... even less then no point ?!

And if you refer to fitting ships for others en mass for a corp etc. you should better be able to fly them and not just EFT dream craft and copy/paste them. And what kind of fitting manager are you if you can't fly the ships ?! Just saying.

Because you may be fitting ships for your corp's fleet - all provided by the corp for the corp war effort. And you are only in charge of logistics.

So you need to fit that command ship for the booster, so he could just get in and launch, or all the HACs for the fleet or the Logi cruisers. And so they have spares so they can reship quick.

And we can always make the argument that in real life the crew of a plane is there only to inspect and hop in and not do the maintenance.

And such a feature will not detract anything from the game.

More so, i would like to see the fitting window expanded to allow mass fitting in a single click. Like the industry window.

"Alt- F" only brings up the fitting window for the current active ship you are sitting in. I want to be able to right click my mouse on any ship in my hanger or corp hanger and fit it using the newly opened fitting window.

While this might out me as the lazy sumbitch i am i would LOVE the ability to just go from the fitting window to a corp or personal fit and click "buy this stuff X times" fitting myself isnt as big of a deal, even though it'd ofcourse be cool to just say buy and fit X AFKTARs, or Full neut geddons or whatever else you can come up with...

That said i do not feel this has any sort of immediate "need" for devs to drop what tthey are doing and do this...

I regularly fit ships for my corp and alliance.

The new feature of fitting modules which I don't have the skills for is great improvement. At the moment any ship can be assembled but can't be made active without the ship skills.

This requires the ship to be assembled and all rigs and modules to be placed in the ship cargo hold. Players that buy these ships then need to fit the modules to the ship which is a waste of their time.

Feature
Allow ships to be made active so the modules and rigs can be fitted to the ship. The modules will be offline if the player doesn't have the skill. If the player doesn't have the skill to fly the ship the player would be prevented from undocking the ship.

This would be a great feature in line with the upcoming updates to the contract system.
