1. "Assemble All" option in ship hangar. If I have 100 Megathrons in ship hangar, I ought to be able to click once to have them all assembled.

2. "Fit All" options in fitting GUI. All ships highlighted should be fit with the fit that is currently active.

On a more serious note: Right now the "fit" button is a 70% solution that could easily be turned into a 100% solution by fitting up everything that is in the fit and not excluding items because they are rigs.

3. Clicking "Fit" should install all mods, all rigs, all drones, and everything in cargohold.

Rigs are excluded because they can't be removed if you make a mistake. A warning message of "if you use the rigs specified in this fitting they cannot be removed without destroying them. are you sure?" would be a good compromise.

Mass fitting ships from saves would be useful for those who do such things. What I did as an alternative was create a stack for each slot in a container, select all and fit to ship. It let me hop between ships quickly and fit with minimal effort.

I fully support the idea of being able to mass-fit identical ships.

I'd like to see an option in the context menu for items that lets you choose the number of that item to fit to the active ship. That way when you want two EANMs and three heat sinks and eight pulse lasers, you can place them with six clicks. Currently the best way I've found is to shift-drag the lasers into 4 stacks of two, select all and fit twice...leaving one heatsink to fit at the end.
