Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Happy new year pilots!

CCP karkur and I, under adult supervision from CCP Tuxford have been experimenting with improving the EVE fitting experience.

The fitting window hasn't gotten much love since Apocrypha and we really want to address that and make it a powerful and fun tool, move it a bit closer to 3rd party programs like EFT and Pyfa.

We have been looking into features like:

• Allowing pilots to try in the fitting window modules and rigs they own or don't, to see what effect they have before committing. Try before you buy
• Simulating active and overload states of modules, docked or in space. No need to leave the station to see what your hardeners can do.
• More accurate and rich information on attributes in the fitting window.

There are a ton of ideas floating around that could be added to the list, but what would you be interested in seeing that would improve your fitting experience?

Fly safe!

EDIT: These are just things we are looking into doing, non of this has been planned for any release...

THIS IS THE GREATEST THREAD IN THE WORLD!!!!!

give us a icon for fitting management so we don't have too go through ship fitting and browse too get too it aswell as adding more options in fitting management like custom groupings and make it less laggy please

It would be cool if we can see the resist/bonus of active hardners, damage control, sebo, eccm etc.

Please fix display of drone stats while you're at it, e.g. being able to tell what your optimal range is on your sentries with your current active omnidirectional tracking links.
I realize this is only tangentially related, but it is related.

Toggle module state active/inactive so we can see cap use that isn't "all or nothing"
Overheat lifetime
Copy paste a text list of mods a-la existing tools without needing to import export
Drone control range
Checkboxes on what drones to activate for the DPS window
Damage split %ages (em/th/ki/ex). Incoming and outgoing - so show your own output spit and be able to toggle your EHP display based on either presets or empty boxes you can manually plug %ages into.
Drone stats - speed, EHP, tracking.
Logi stats - drones too.
Ammo comparison window a-la EVEHQ would be EPIC.


Wishlist: "Find module to fit" option for a given slot, based on remaining fitting.

• If pilots had a way of testing Rigs and their effects on their fits BEFORE fitting them that would be incredible and take a lot of the fear out of using them. The fit and done state right now is a bit intimidating for younger or less experienced players, perhaps a "Commit Fit" option?

• Active and inactive states would be most appreciated.

• Drone/Sentry ranges

Others have already made some other great suggestions.

One "pie in the sky" request. When using a saved fit, would it be possible to make suggestions based on missing modules? For example, if the saved fit requires an X5 Web and you don't have any in your hangar, could it suggest options based on what you do have in your hangar? Or perhaps even those available in station? I know this is probably a huge change, but I thought I'd ask for it.

Allow us to fill all turret or launcher slots from a stack (or as many as possbile).

Show drone control range in stats.

Allow switching places of fitted modules by dragging them around.

"Unload all" button to remove all charges from modules that take charges.

Otherwise, just rip features off EFT and put them in the game.

- an easy way to upgrade/downgrade the meta level of a module (have a + and a - minus next to each module)
- isk estimated value of a ship/hull
- a "buy and fit" button - fitting up even 5x of a design suuuuckssss

What I really want is:
Checking cap status with some modules not active (online, but not active), so I can see my cap life with an MWD fitted, but not activated (offlining it also removes the cap penalty)
More drone stats
Include active hardeners
Check EHP against several damage types (like omni, blood, guristas etc), instead of just the weakest (100% of lowest resist)
and then yeah, just "preview" stats of fits
