This might be the wrong location for this, but it is relevant.

I'm curious why so many people and fitting tools like, EFT and Pyfa, insist on showing module slots upside down? It doesn't mirror the in game fitting tool and it just doesn't make logical sense to format it that way IMO. High slots should be on top, mediums in the middle, which they are thankfully, and lows on the bottom. What gives?

Try PYFA again

Oh? Has it changed? If that's the case, then for me EFT's fate is sealed. I'm still curious though why that layout exists?

Meh. I actually like the EFT layout better. For some reason filling slots from lows to highs top to bottom makes more sense to me. I guess it's down to personal preference.

EFT, overall, is a better program than Pyfa because of the damage graph ability and being able to have different ships interact with eachother. The "low slots on top" is indeed silly but nothing more than that.

they are the lowslots, you fit them first! damage mods, damage control, the important stuff! mids also have a chance to be interesting. and anyways highslots are mostly boring as it is all one kind of gun, and maybe a utility slot.

probably becuase 90% of the time all but one or two of your lowslots is the same module. Therefore highslots are less important and interesting than your low and midslot fit.
