Ship fitting simulation - keep it simple, yet powerful
CCP karkur answers a lot of questions, comments and proposals. Thank you for your enthusiasm and awesome ideas! Please keep in mind that, to start with, the ship fitting simulation should be kept simple enough: stick to the basics and don't overwhelm. If we would add too many options and settings, it would get too complex pretty soon.

Updates on the fitting simulation
CCP Lebowski comes with updates to the ship fitting simulation tool. Updates to the simulation of drones, improvements to the filters, bug fixes and more have been added. Thank you for all the feedback and bug reports!

should be 15 plex not 5 plex for top 32 in the AT ^_^
The other numbers might also be wrong.
Still....Thanks for keeping up these weeks in EVE
As a person who doesn't really look much outside the game for what's happening ingame this is good.
