This blog is full of win!!!

Any chance we could be allowed to fit ships without actually sitting in them? And subsequently, allow fitting ships we can't fly or with modules we can't use? (Obviously you wouldn't be able to board or undock those ships.)

Great changes in this one.

One problem that I would love to see solved happens when fitting a T3 (Strategic Cruiser). Sometimes the fit will fail to actually place any modules on the ship. The subsystems always seem to get mounted but nothing else. Any fix for this would be great.

I think this is more of a question for the game designers Cool

I don't have a fix for this now but I'll poke the right people about it

Great change and nice dev blog, thanks Big smile


And about saving things in cargo... couldn't we have ANY items in cargo saved as well ? Pretty please with a cherry on the top ? Roll

That would help a lot to :
- add the backup fit in the hold (like the combat fit of your carrier, or an extra tackle module for your hurricane)
- refill an industrial before the daily trips to production planets (which takes some time and is a pain in the current sitiuation)
- add the pax amarria, exotic dancers & other diverse voodoo dolls (mandatory in any pvp ship)
- create fittings with containers (that give additionnal room for cap charges)
- and more !

Cap boosters and charges, and crystals do save.


we don't want to save everything in cargo, just ammo/charges

ooooohhhh c'mon, why not ? Oops It seems so easy to implement Straight

it may seem easy but it's not, reallyBlink

one of the reason we don't want this is that it breaks the share fittings functionality (I don't want to go into details).

You can't carry a titan in your cargohold?

Holy ****, now just implement a "buy from market and fit" and I'll be one happy ******* clam!

The ability to dock up in Jita and buy the hull and all modules for a saved fitting as a package would be spectacularly awesome.

(please do this oh god oh god)



And a new scam is born. That's good thinking - exploit the lazy.

Any changes to the UI for saving fits? (Probably not. It is horrid.) Any changes to the number of fits that can be saved? (Probably not. It is pathetic.)

Good job! Keep up the good work making us happy!


P.S. Adding "enhanced" functionality which actually serves to fix broken functionality does not deserve the "gee wiz wow".

Nicely sidelines the ignored useless annoying UI with unwanted frilly bits that make it even worse to deal with.

I realize there's some database overhead involved, but will you ever add a functionality that allows ships to be assembled en masse? Even if it's delayed, there's only so much I can demand from GSF's mentors and CTS really isn't one of them ;p

oh wied i thought i posted this already.

Could you add a left click button for send to market quickbar? or a right click option somewhere? I think tippia made a post about this. I love the new left click button for talking to agents. MORE BUTTONS!

I'll sum it up as a clwear question. Are there any plans to add more left click context buttons to the fittings UI.

It would be super cool like someone suggested if you had a tick box for rigs, ammo and drones so people could opt in/out when doing a fit... Apart from that I'm really loving these recent changes :-) Thank you
