Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Dude.
Learn to take responsibility. You cannot just give away your kid, because you now prefer to play with a fitting window!
That's the meaning of "commitment"!

happy new year!


most of things that come to mind have already been posted.

Please make sure to allow us to "over-fit" in respect to CPU/PG with a 1%, 3%, ..., indication to what implant we would need to make this fit possible (like it's done in EFT).


A "nice to have" would be the ability to test our cap against enemy neuts/nos and so on (to not make things too complicated, maybe just assume "meta 4" and "skill level IV" on a unbonused hull for them). This would also be nice for TP, web, TD and so on... with selectable scripts.
Again, this is not important, but would be a "nice to have" especially for new players who lack experience/"gut feeling".

how about fix the 'effective hitpoints' thing so it uses omni damage rather than lowest resist, since that's what everyone in the game uses.

whenever someone asks why the fitting window has different ehp to what eft or pyfa tells them, the answer is always 'because the fitting window does it wrong'.

Would it be possible to have an in-game fitting tool? I spend a lot of time on browser-based fitting tools like null-sec.com and o.smium, and having one directly integrated into the game, or at the very least having the decrepit eve browser updated to run flash and whatever else it needs to come into the new decade.

Thanks for the replies.

Loads of interesting ideas. Taking notes as fast as I can!

Keep 'em coming!

I'm pretty sure using the 'fit to ship' thing doesn't clear out bays beforehand.

so what I'm getting at is if I hand out 20 ships, then take them on a roam, during which a bunch of them get loot in the cargo and lose a bunch of ammo, it would be great if I could press a button to remove things that aren't part of the fit (loot) and add things that are missing (the ammo that got used).

ideally I'd be able to do this to lots of ships at once, and without having to get inside each one and then kill myself because it takes so long. I've got something like 200 fitted ships in my hangar, and it takes forever to do anything with them. it'd probably make the server happy if I didn't have to get in and out of them all the time just to do menial stuff I don't even want to be doing.

here are a couple of tangent things that are huge and related to fitting ships and stuff: being able to assemble and fit lots of ships at once, some sort of automatic module repairer/repackager/stacker (yes, make it do stuff in cans and cargo bays as well), and the ability to tag or label particular modules, as a replacement for silly can systems - cans are the worst.

I'm going to rant about the inventory instead, because it's more important than the fitting window. here's a thing I have to do all the time:

1. clear out my main hangar so I can put stuff in it without it getting mixed up
2. select all from inside a particular can that has gotten too messy
3. drag it into the main hangar
4. select the cans and invert select to get the stuff I just dragged
5. repackage the stuff I selected
6. select it all again
7. stack it
8. select it again
9. put it back in the can

and everyone else seems to think this is fine, for some reason. just kill me, I hate everything.

Scrap the idea and give us multifit & ability to include an arbitrary set of modules in cargo instead.



(I'm actually serious here despite the winking...)

A popup window next to the modules, allowing for:

changing the meta type of a module:
So if you have a T1 200mm AC, you can adjust to any of the meta levels, the T2, and so on. (with a 'replace all' option)

Chage the module: so you can shift to another module in the same market group, at the same meta level (with a replace all option.) For going from a 200mm AC, to a 180mm AC.

I want an average ship cost + fitting cost shown on the fitting window, like on Pyfa

they could have it 'suggest' possible modules, tie into the ship traits somehow - there's stuff you're inevitably going to always want unless you're flying a shitfit. so if I'm fitting a cruiser, something easy happens that lets me pick a 10mn propulsion mod in my first midslot, instead of me having to click around in a bunch of cans and type in search windows. or if I'm fitting a rifter, it's 'small', it's 'armor', and it's 'projectile turrets'. it's going to want some 3 of some kind of small projectile turret, a frigate propulsion mod, two tackle/ewar mods and probably some kind of armour tank stuff and/or turret upgrades that work on projectiles. these are sets of modules it could automatically figure out and bring up, either limited by what's in my hangar, what's on the market or not limited at all.

not so it fits things for me, I just mean so I can get to stuff easier instead of getting hand cancer.
