Desperately need this, though I know it won't be appropriate to the ship screen, can this finally be added to the missile launchers info screen ?

CCP Optimal has a new dev blog out regarding some rather neat changes to the fitting interface. As a compulsive ship fitter myself, I've been wanting to see this in-game for a long time and I hope it will make some of you happy as well Smile

Don't forget to give us your thoughts and feedback on the changes.


I love You so much, finally the days of alt tabing to my desktop to check the DPS on my current fit are over!

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Wow! Looks nice! Good work! But i think you should correct the targetting range down to meters.
Looks like that thing can target 56250 km. Would maybe be a bit far. Lol


Yes, we're increasing the targeting range of all ships by a factor of 1000. Forgot to mention that in the blog.

...

no, wait, it's a defect! Nice spot Smile

Moo!

You really need to get into the habit of posting in the threads of your own devblogs.

Or we'll be forced to click 'like' on Guard for starting the thread!

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

yah this one is missing
having to use your calculator when you change fitting / char is a pain for something that important.
also i think lots of people would like to see alpha damage with dps ;)

Hooray for the little things.

Would also like to see some kind of missile range output on the fitting window, that would be nice.

And that Hurricane fit is terrible :P.

When beeing docked, can you display the resistance of all modules activated? Or a botton/switch/checkbox in the fitting window, that shows up the resitance including all modules, when being activated?

And can you add "EFT" to your feature list? We are in a future far far away from today, and there is not tool for planning fittings at the station? Or let's call it "simulator".
I know, it's a LOT of work, but would be nice for a future upgrade.

PS: forgot the feedback about the DPS itself. Like it. :D
When I am in space and start some Warrior II, will you use their DPS (cause they are active) or will you still calculate the DPS from my sentrys in the drone bay?

edit2: You missed passive shield regen...some ships can get 250+ dps passive tank and it is not shown in your screen (no module)



That's a drop down. Active, passive, armour rep, hull rep.

I’m proud to announce to you that after 8 years of hard work we’ve finally developed software technology advanced enough to calculate the damage output of your current ship.


I love CCP humor..

All these nice updates in the past couple of months almost like christmas but there is one little things what bugs me alot. When are we going to see missile launchers on ships??? You guys designed new models and animations for the turrets but i still have to watch the missiles just popping out of random spots of my ship! How hard can it be to make a missile launcher???

Are all your character's skills and implants taken into account with respect to DPS? How about the other statistics?

As I'm sure someone must've mentioned before, this thing still lacks:
1) tracking speed
2) optimal and falloff range
3) alpha damage

^This +1

Put the developers on payroll or contract, make EFT available in station for use, integrate it into Eve. This is an excellent tool, it would be the perfect companion to the fitting screen.

EFT would still need to be available for stand alone...keep me busy at work while waiting to play Eve...Lol

Nice work, I agree that a few more things could be displayed: alpha; missile range; tracking speed; maybe few others but the overall effort being put into this expansion is easily bringing this to the level of the best expansion/patch yet. (At least in view of my 2 years as a player) Keep up the great work.

I may not like you or your point of view but you have a right to voice it.

1) Do a show info on the fitted weapon.
2) Do a show info on the fitted weapon
3) This one is valid. You can do the show info for the multiplier, then look at the fitted charge, and multiply, but that's a little more complex.
