Currently, if you have a specialized cargohold, and you hit loot all, all cargo goes into your normal inventory. I propose the button detects what type of item is being looted, and anything that qualifies being stored in the specialized cargo hold gets routed there. the rest gets routed to normal inventory.

Example:

Miasmos sitting at a MTU with some barges doing jetcan mining. But some wrecks get looted and shuffled into the MTU as well as a bunch of ore.


Currently:
Miasmos pilot hits loot all button. Currently It would loot all of the junk, and then give a "out of capacity" sign as it tries to loot the ridiculous amount of m3 the ore has, but fails. Pilot has to take ore out of normal inventory and move into orehold manually.

Proposed:
Miasmos pilot hits loot all button. Wreck loot goes into normal cargo, ore goes into orehold.

I don't think it'll unbalance anything. Questions?

or the automation stays disadvantaged over the manual

well...right now there's no use to use it at all, and i've been doing it manually.... it would be nice to have a feature actually be useable for a ship with specialized cargo, i don't think that's really asking much.

do you consider every time you click jump to stargate, the warping to 0 part of that is automation? point is, automation (to the minor extent you seem to be complaining about) is baked into a lot of this game. it wouldn't seem out of place for a loot all button to have this function. but whatevs, just a idea.

but it does have a use it just doesn't have a use in that situation.


as to the auto warping where jumping is concerned that is less automation and more ui simplification. Even with that though in cases like docking it is still worse as you can land outside doc range and need to slow boat



very few automated things in eve are as good as manual and that is how it should be

I really do not see any problem in this being implemented. I see it as something that should have been included when the specialized hold were first introduced into the game. The "Loot All" button made sense when you only had 1 type of hold (namely the Cargohold) thus now that there are multiple types of holds (Cargohold and various specialized) it only makes sense that such feature follow the development.
