Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Uh... there already is a feature that does just this, except for the "highlighting what parts you don't have" bit, and that's just a simple matter of "Hey, there's no web on here, looks like I need to buy one".

You can save fits to your Fitting library, you know...

Assemble ship, get into ship, open up your saved fittings, find the one you want and click the 'fit this' button, or whatever it's called. If you have the modules in your hanger, it'll fit them.

So you want a change to the game to save you literally four clicks?

Why?

It would be pleasant to see this "buy all modules" feature exploited by lazy people like you; someone buys up all stock of a highly-in-demand part at that station, and puts in their own sell order at something ridiculous like 50million ISK, and you lose it because you couldn't do the work.

That said, I always have a cache of parts -- a dozen DCIIs here, few dozen AB IIs there, several stacks of crystals given my propensity for energy weaponry, etc. -- ready to go in Jita (my main ship purchasing station) for when I don't feel like playing shopper. Sure, I might miss out on some downward trend in the cost of these parts, but so too am I discouraged from flying 3 jumps to save a few hundred thousand ISK.

Plan ahead.

They need to make a rapid order Buy/Sell Order Queue.

Then have a bunch of fitted ships in-hangar, ready to go. If you don't, then any delay is your fault. In exchange for pre-planning, you have the ability to quickly and easily fit a bare hull (if you have a bunch of items stocked, as you should), or simply hop in a prefitted ship.

Since you will take time to warp from station, you have plenty of time to "get mods in the right places" via drag-and-drop. If it takes you hours to buy parts and a hull, then you're doing it wrong anyway; that said, again, you get the bonuses of being prepared.

What, by the way, do you say to the fleet member who can't afford the parts he needs in-system, so he has to now find some non-T2 (or meta 4, whatever) part to replace it? The fitter doesn't automatically select similar modules, you have to manually do it.

I sincerely hope you don't believe that I am the only one who takes care to prepare generous backup supplies at station when getting into PVP...

I really don't get where you're coming from here. A "buy-all-needed-parts" button is useless if you're in a remote system with the parts nowhere nearby anyway, so either way you're going to "wait hours" while you fly around getting the modules. Unless you're somehow proposing that the items should be magically warped to the station, in which case you need to leave now.
