Title says it all. 100 fits is pathetically low when playing with 3 or more races. Please allow local storage of fits to be accessed by EVE w/o the hassle of deleting everything, exporting, importing, just to post 1 darn fit in chat.


UPDATE: VICTORY!!!

The maximum number of fittings that a user can save has been increased by 100. As a result characters can now save 200 fittings and corporations 300 fittings.

If you mean the "Browse" section where you have saved ship fittings then I have to agree. Why does there need to be any limit? It already has built it drop down menus that can be collapsed to see the bigger picture.

agreed, it's a pain to import new fitting once you are able to fly 2 races the 100 limit is way to easy to go through

last occurence: importing gnosis fitting, so much effective possibilitys with this one Big smile

We use to not have the limit. Now we have a limit due to them being hosted server side and not client side. Would like to see the fitting limit increased though

If there's a problem with server side hosting, I don't see why CCP could have client-side storage capability. It can't be more than a few megabytes!

I wouldn't mind unlimited client side hosting of fits.

Some of both, perhaps. Unlimited client-side storage with the option to have a limited number stored on the server.

This is a simple and easy change. The only reason why it was limited appeared to be so that CCP could sell more ship fittings for Arum with the Introduction of Incarna. Since that went out the window there is no reason for the restriction.

There is also no reason that I can think of why the fittings need to be saved server side. Although that does make it easier on the player if they need a reinstall.

I have hit the 100 ship fit limit. With my PvP training that I do I have lots of cheap ships to hand out to pilots so they are not risking any ISK of their own. I have all of those fittings and then my own on top of that. It is something that is limiting my ability to play.

BTW. The fitting changes have been awesome. I recently fitted over 800 replacement ships and it was near wonderful. It would have taken days to get all of that fit the old way with having to drag every individual module, drone and ammo onto the ship. The only thing that could be better is to select a stack of unassembled ships then type in how many you want to assemble, select the fit and their name and let the client do the rest. Lag me out, that is fine, it would just save me so many clicks.

+1 gizillion for this.

I actually have a big beefy desktop that I usually use to play Eve, but sometimes I play on my laptop upstairs while watching TV or at a friend's house, or while on vacation. I really wish LOTS more settings were persisted server-side, along with this one ... (I'm looking at YOU overview and neo-com!)

Even better, CCP could give us more of both!

But honestly, fittings should work like this:
After hitting the 100 fit limit server-side, EVE asks the player how much storage they want to allocate to fits (10MB? 10GB?) and then shows a counter with how much storage space in % is left to store fittings.

Server side overview settings sound amazing, but lets start off with something easy that we know CCP can do with not too much effort Big smile

I don't see why real-time disk access would be a pain to implement, if we can already import-export fits at any time. I support this change.

I'll give it a bump since I wanted this not too long ago but my post went to page 4 or so.

+1 agreed

This is the law of ship progression!

Bumping for more saved fittings....


And the addition of selectable Fittings Lists:

Locally Saved Fittings (Unlimited number of fittings) - maybe let user allocate how much space to use for this or how many (# of) fittings

and

Online (you can maybe hardcap it to anywhere between 200 and 500 fittings)

but make moving fittings from Online to Local and vice-versa a mere matter of select and drag or something similarly convenient.

regarding a server side hosting of neocom, i do not agree

i have 2 screens on my desktop, only one on my laptop, with different resolutions on thoses, and they both have different neocom config to accomodate their specific size so i can remain efficient on both

overview settings tho, would be a plus, and i would go farther.

give us the possibility to have a corp level overview profile, would be a must (add a menu "corp profiles" and you are done)

this way, ppl would either use a corp level config, ensuring everyone is up to date (i look at you, battlecruiser renaming), or experienced user could use their own custom overview

excellent idea, but i don't think a size limit would be required, local fitting could be stored as they are currently exported, xml does great for this, and you would have to make bazillons fittings before the size of thoses would be noticeable

currently, my fittings on XML are around 300KB, and there are like 150+ so guess how many fitting you could store using let's say 5MB, and 5MB is nothing...

The fittings were moved to server side to allow for the corp fittings.

I wouldn't mind another tab under personal fittings that would allow me to choose between saving server side with a hard cap, and saving locally on my own computer(s) with either a memory cap or no cap at all (aka, those of us with very large drives)
