Greetings,

I'm one of those super organized anal types, and I like to keep all my modules in containers by type. However, with the convenience of being able to fit a ship with one click from the fitting window, it makes it difficult to do this because it does not search containers for the items you want, just the items in the hangar.

Would it be possible to make a box to check or something so that the fitting manager will search any containers (freight, giant, etc) for the modules needed to fit the ship also?

Thanks.

Yes. Just yes. Not just for modules, but for everything. Even in the inventory window. Filter things down, then click that little box, and it'd simply show you where others of that type were.

Also, there really needs to be a way to sort stuff better in your ship's hold. Not even kidding. So on bigger ships you can separate 'ammo' from 'goods' from 'junk' and so on.

Filters do this pretty well.

I think there may be issues with doing this relating to how the underlying Eve system treats containers. Can't really say for sure though, I just know that those parts of the Eve system are very very old and not architected in a way so as to be very easily manipulated or changed and that this has caused issues in the past.

IIRC CCP are slowly working to change those old bits of the code and bring them up to spec, but it's a slow ongoing process.
