At this point, I find the the process of selecting a ship, then opening the Fitting window, then opening the inventory window, and fishing through my inventory for the items to fit to be cumbersome.

My recommendation is the removal of the "Fitting" window, and the creation of a one stop location for the choosing and equipping of ships call the "Hangar". It would include:

a list of available ships on the left
the fitting of the selected ship to the right
below both, an inventory of modules and consumables, divided into groups by tabs, that can be fit or used

This has the added benefit of allowing the Inventory window to focus more on being just that... an Inventory.

There's a little button in the fitting window that lets you equip the fitting with the items in your inventory.

Also, I think you mean Hangar [1] and not Hanger [2] :)

If you're gonna post here thinking your idea is the greatest thing since bacon and that it will save EVE and possibly all humankind with it, you're gonna have a bad time.

A capsuleer always spells words exactly as intended Cool

That is good to know about the button for the access to inventory, but I still think it would be made less cumbersome by putting the ship listing, fitting, and relevant inventory in one place.

Kind of in-line with this.

It would be really nice if you could select a Station Container to fit from when using the fitting tool. I keep my items hangar well organized to avoid mix-ups, but it makes fitting my different ships a pain because each module must be hunted down individually. If there were an option to fit from my Ship Gear container, it would be much easier.

The 'fit' option from saved fittings takes a bit of getting to. And you are limited to 100 fittings currently also.
It would be nice to integrate the saved fittings better into the general fitting window. As well as have the ability to create 'fake' fits without having to actually have the ships/modules to make them. Needing an out of game tool for that has always felt like a flaw to me.

The thing I'd like to see is that when you 'browse' your fittings is that it automatically opens on any fittings for the currently selected ship.

If I've been looking at my rifter fits and then swap ships to fit up a rupture I have to navigate to my rupture fittings before I can load it. Why wouldn't it just auto open up my rupture fittings as I'm looking at that ship in the fitting window?!

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.
