@CCP Puncturis
Because I'm a secret fan of yours (to the point of "in love with you", doctor says it's a phase I'm going through and it will pass) and I really would like you to respond to my post personally...
Can you make fittings save the included cargo and nanite repair paste?

Do I hear lols?

To the point that I was thinking of compiling a special EVEMon version for Puncturis with 'Hello Kitty' skin.

I don't get what issues you're having with the search.. maybe file a bug report?

Great changes!

Can we get combat boosters to save too for the extra lazy folk (like me) ? Cheers.

I don't have plans to add any more stuff to saved fittings. Sorry!

So, speaking of ship fittings and whatnot, is there any chance you guys could look at making it possible to assemble and swap subsystems on T3 ships at an SMA or equivalent?

This change has Hulkageddon Buff written all over it. Next, we'll be able to right click on a stack of Catalysts and fit them all with one click.

I was mostly thinking about those alliances that mass-fit ships for newbies and give them out... if that's how Hulkageddon works then sure, that's what I was thinking about when I made them P

Cool, a response directly to me :)

basically, search is broken, I hope you can fix it. I have tried to file an in game bug report, but it was promptly closed as "thats the way it works, stop complaining".

2 bugs...

1. "prime" matches 'prime' but is 152'nd on the list of matches, while stupid things like '52 prime' are at the top of the list. I only ask that "prime" gives "prime" at the top of the list (this is extremely frustrating for the few old people like me with good & simple names... we can no longer get private contracts setup to us without a long explanation on how to find us in the massive list.

2. "ddon blue" does not match on contract search at all... it seems that partial search matches no longer work unless the BEGINNING of the terms match the beginning of the item... it should return "armageddon blueprint" but does not match anything... its really sad since both of these things USED to work, but were 're-programmed' by, apparently, a first year intern

Ideally a saved fit would remember:

What charges are loaded and what are in the cargo bay ( I got the impression that all charges will go into the cargo bay).

The grouping of the guns

The modules "out in space" position (eg in the F1 or F2 slot etc)

What groups the drones are in (this is problematic as groups are user defined)

Have a "buy all at current station button" and a "check all is available at current station button"

First of all welcome back Punkturis! Hope it was a good vacation.

Second thing, some suggestions for a future patch:

1) Ability to store the position of the modules shown on the screen.

This would help twofold:

Swapping ships or sharing fittings would both be removed the bothersome "now I have to re-assign all the modules HUD buttons again so that the AB / MWD comes first, then shield booster, then hardeners...
Expecially for grouped weapons this usually involves re-dragging all the turrets / missile launchers to the left, since they appear every other icon, with one HUD icon greyed and usually ending up behind the overview window (so we have to un-pin it, move / resize it just to grab the icon and drag it in position.

2) When dragging and dropping a fit onto the market hotbar (A GREAT THING! <3 ), could you also place the ship hull in the list? Nothing more embarassing than buying the full Orca fittings and then discover you forgot the Orca itself!

3) When dropping a fitted ship (i.e. from the ships hangar in station or at POS) on the market hotbar, only the hull gets in there.
Now, showing just the hull makes sense when dropping 1 or more repackaged ships.
But in case of fitted ships what about copying the same behavior of the fitting window and so create a folder with said hull and all the various modules etc, like if you dropped a saved fitting? The code to do it looks basically similar.

4) You gave us the nice ability to drag and drop show info / links pilot names into the "Name" edit box of the private item swap contracts. Could you please also make it possible to drag and drop the finished / active contracts price into a new contract?

Workflow:

I open a completed contract (I sell hundreds of BPC contracts), start a new contract, drag the big red big price from the completed contract into the empty price box of the new contract.


5) Manufacturing window: you know when we get to the "Accept quote?" window we get a table with the list of stuff.
It'd be really nice if we could drag the item names into a chat.

I.e. if I need Crystalline Carbonide Armor Plates, I'd love to be able to drag such name on a chat and ask for it and similar.

Another great feature would be:

Right click on "Accept quote?" window => Copy to clipboard

We got it for other table windows, it'd help nicely to do it for materials, so if we miss just 10 of this and 20 of that we can later paste the names and quantities on the market window.

OR

if you feel masochistic, add a right click menu next to each item: "Buy missing quantity" that would directly open a buy window for that item, with the quantity already typed in.

a lot of those things you're asking for is iteration on the awesome little things CCP karkur has been making and talking about in her dev blogs. I'll tell her about your post Big smile
