Fitting Management Improvements

In a recent expansion (I can't remember which one it was) CCP improved the Fitting Management system by adding in icons for all the modules, drones, rigs, etc... and sorting them into High, Medium, Low, Rig, Drones, Charges, Subsystems. Here's an Example. This is a huge improvement on the old Fitting Management window, but it doesn't go far enough.

This is the corresponding Ship Fitting window for the above Fitting Management window. I propose merging the two of them in such a way that when you view a saved fitting that someone else has provided, you can then open a "preview fitting window" to see what stats you would get with your current skills.

The Fitting Management window would initially look very similar to the way it does now, but it would have a new button in the top right.

When you click the new button you would be rewarded with a conjoined "Fitting Management / Ship Fitting window". (I'm sure it would look much prettier if someone actually designed it to look right!)

The collapsable fitting window might even let you change out modules and thus edit your saved fit in-game, but the more important thing would be the ships stats. For example:
Arrow Do my fitting skills and/or implants give me enough PG to fly this fit?
Arrow How long will my capacitor last?
Arrow What will my DPS be?

Export the fitting and load it into EFT or EvEHQ. Those programs give you far more info than the fitting window does, plus allows you to manipulate what mods are active, overloaded...
