I have hundreds of ships for a SRP (Ship Replacement Program)

I have to fit them all one by one.

What I would like to see is a Mass Fitting, where I can highlight one group of ships (rifters for example), and right click, open a fitting window, and select fit, and have 100 fitted rifters with the saved corp fitting.

An assemble all right click wouldn't hurt either.

I imagine this would make life easier for corporations/alliances with SRP's or individuals who fit multiple ships to sell on contracts.

The Pro's: Individuals, Corps, Alliances can assemble and fit multiple ships at once which they can use for the SRP or contracts or store in corporate hangers for whatever uses.

The Con's: CCP has to write some code possibly re-write code.

Due to more important things that need to be fixed, I'm gonna go ahead and say no.

That is totally true that there are more important things, we didn't need visible bookmarks, we didn't need a compass on our hud, we got it anyway, and it's helpful. This is another thing that is helpful, and there is no con to having it. If you could find another reason other than there are more important things that need to be fixed great.

That's quite a magical gift for managing things you know nothing about and people you've never met.

Fancy a crack at our Government next? They never know whether to fix the welfare system or just go drink more tea. They're floundering without you Jack, save us!

I welcome and promote this change fully, as would most suicide gankers. Plus un.

Yes on one of my alts I worked for NODD, they had a bunch of catalyst stock piled I can't imagine the man hours it takes to support an alliance like Code with fully fitted free catalyst.

Totally supported.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Pick a ship that you want to fit, and fit it. Then save the fitting. Hop into another ship identical to the first one, browse fits, select fitting, fit to active ship. If the fit that you have saved matches the mods that currently exist in your hangar at that station, they will all be automatically equipped. I'm not sure if the same is true for rigs, though. You might have to do the rigs manually, but it's a lot better than having to do the whole damn fit.

In an ideal world, here's how this would work:

Right click a stack of 100 hulls.
Click assemble all in stack.
You get 100 assembled ships named SRP Dude's Atron
Highlight all 100 assembled ships
Rightclick and click on apply fitting to all
Select the fitting
Bam, it fits them until it runs out of ships or it runs out fittings to put on them.

It would definitely make life easier for guys managing huge SRP programs.

This is how easy it would be to implement:

Use the current fitting screen. Add a count of the ships to be fitted, defaulting to 1 (current ship). Setting that higher will use current ship and any packaged ships of the same type.

Select fitting as usual. Display shows which modules are available in the required quantity, with the usual green tick, and which are not available, with the red cross. When all is good, press the 'Fit' key and all ships are fitted, assembling as required.

The code already exists for nearly all of this, and the extra needed to implement the fitting loop will be trivial for any decent coder.

In a former eve life I was in the Uni and always wondered how they got around to fitting the replacement ships after a particularly heavy engagement in losec. this idea is a very good management tool.

This is the third time in 2 weeks I've seen this posted - so I get to +1 for a third time in the hopes that CCP will pick up on the fact that people want to see this implemented Big smile

Certainly some form of multiple fitting tool would be most welcome.

Supported.

I thought this feature would be implemented in Odyssey.

What's the holdup, CCP?

I've spoken to some the CSM members about this, it seems to be an issue of coding, generally speaking no on in EVE is against it, and everyone is more or less for it, the question then becomes how big of a priority will it be for CCP. Care to comment Devs?

There has also been a call for a mass buy, where I guess you could go to a place like jita and buy modules in masses all at once rather than scrolling through each module highlight the whole ship fit and replace it.

Either way, fitting 300 cruisers is becoming a bit of a pain. Please help me CCP.

Saying "no" to a good idea just because it's better to focus on something else right now is kinda backwards. It goes without saying that CCP will look for ideas from the community only if they have time for them.

In addition to that, I'd add "shopping lists". While you can now drag your fitting into market window to create a folder in quickbar, it doesn't take into account how much mods per every package you need. Something that can work with that should be useful for logistics, I suppose.

Edit: well, poster above covered this. Anyways, I'll leave it here just to support the idea.
