EVE Information Portal

I know this would be a big change compared to what eve has to offer already, but buying each component of a fit is a small hassle. Having to right click each module->view market details->buy. Something that would be really nice to have one day is a quote system.

So on the saved fit would be a button to buy all the modules, this would bring up a quote screen with all the modules at the best price within a user defined number of jumps. Obviously if you are at a decent trade hub this would be easy to ensure all the modules are available in current station.

The user can define certain parameters to adjust weighting towards same station or towards cheaper price.

If the quoted items are to the user's satisfaction all they need to do is click buy, which will buy all the items and then click the already available 'fit' button to fit their favourite setup quickly. If this is done from a trade hub which usually has all the components available the user could have their usual fitting sorted within 2-3 clicks.

At the moment the system is 'ok' (satisfactory, but not exactly great), but if you are into faction warfare (and not very good) you are having to do the same process over and over. Would be reaallly nice to be able to just say 'buy this whole fit', confirm prices and then 'fit' and get straight back out.

Come on! It can't be that hard to create a mechanism for bulk buying and selling items with varying prices and quantities that change constantly, all you have to do is draw a button for it in MS Paint :D

Just pulling your leg :o) No hard feelings

Just make a list in a Quickbar folder with all stuff on 1 fitting, works for me... maybe for others too? #compromise?

You can do that, just drag the fitting to the quickbar. CCP Karkur did it a few months back. (Don't want to give CCP Punky all the creditz)

drag fitting to quickbar eh? snds like reasonable compromise for now. But i still want to see this!! *throws rattle out of pram*

thanks for the creditz but I didn't actually implement it... it was Team Papercuts. But I did fix some issues with it, and then made a similar features so now you can SHIFT drag blueprints into your quickbar and get a folder with all the materials needed for a selected activity, and some other quickbar changes

I like it... let's do it! (sometime). This is what I did with the blueprints.

I like this one too... maybe by SHIFT dragging or something like that? (although some people wouldn't be happy with that hidden feature)

Maybe... I wouldn't hold my breath on that one though.

makes sense... I'm not sure if it's that easy though because I think the quote window is modal and I'm not sure if you can drag it to chat then.

Why not just add the ability to use ctrl+c to copy it like in the other tables? If it doesn't already have that, I'll add it, but I'm not sure about the right click thing.

I'm usually against the idea of batch buy and sales, what if the buy window came up with a table combining the functionality of a bunch of buy windows . Is multiple simultaneous buy windows a technical problem?

I have another suggestion, aimed at newbies (they can use all the possible help to grasp this game).

When docked in a Primae, dropping a command center on top of it should not trigger an error but place said command center in the command center hold.

There's no mention of a command center hold in the right click ship menu as well, just cargo hold. I sharply remember my Orca having a menu for the various holds.

Also, there's no mention of a command center cargo in the bottom left of the fitting window.

Finally, it'd be cool to always open the inventory on the largest hold for the current ship. So a newbie (but also regular players for their other ships) would by default see the command center hold opening up. It's not like they can really use the 100m3 general hold anyway.
