Basic capital refitting in space 101:

You need fleet member who is also in capital (configured)
You need to be in POS next to Ship Maintenance Array

to do refitting. All good from here, but the issue is how you do it.
Basics are that you need to open up your fitting window, remove old module from slot and replace them with new one.
It is all nice but takes too long time. If you are example in supercap then all the time you need to configure yourself from capacitor fit to tank fit. And moving items off into cargo and then moving items from the cargo takes too damn long time.

Solution:

As all pilots know that if you want to change tech 3 ship sub system, then what you do is drag and drop new sub system into old place. Moving sub systems cargo to cargo or hangar to hangar. Make the same thing optional on capital pilots. They open fitting window and drag and drop new module where old one is. Replacing old module with new one, placing old module into your cargo hold.

It is more like lazy mode, making flying capitals more fun.
You do not have delay of refitting ship in space also you can make now less actions in space.

Edit: Even way better make this option possible to all pilots in station or next to POS Ship Maintenance Array. Refitting with drag and drop where old module is. I'm amazed that this haven't been made yet. Seems like after new fitting window came in, then old fitting option stayed (you need to remove old module to replace slot with new one) like it was many years. Why we need to make 2 clicks if we could just change the fittings with one click ...

So you want to make it easier to change fits mid-fight in a supercap? I'm not seeing the upside Eve as a whole.

Well it is possible anyway. But answer is yes.
