With check-box to ignore once you can do unorthodox fittings -

Message box pointing out ship class disparity when newbies fit 1mn afterburners to battleships etc.

Three things that really annoy me about fitting:

1. If I have a module with a count limit fitted, and I try to move it to a different slot, I (sometimes?) get an error saying I already have one fitted. Instead I have to move it to inventory, then back onto the ship. The system should be smart enough to do this as an atomic unfit+fit which doesn't trigger the warning.

2. If I drag a stack of modules and the destination bank of slots can fit more than one from the stack, try to fit as many of those items from the stack into the appropriate slots. (e.g. drag a stack of 20 missile launchers onto a drake, it should attempt to fit 6 of them if there are 6 free high slots). This already works if the modules aren't stacked, but doesn't work if they are.

3. If I drag a module over the top of another module, either from inventory or from another slot on the ship, it should exchange the two modules if the new placement doesn't violate any rules. (e.g. cargo available, etc.)

Would it be possible for you guys to add a feature to see how cap stable the ship is while running only certain modules?

For example, my current method is to just put the module offline, but this is ineffective for things like MWDs as they affect the actual amount of cap as well, therefore changing the recharge rate.

I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere, I am currently at work and don't have time to comb through a 10 page thread.

Dear Developers,

I very much hope that you don't find this post offensive, but I feel that the fitting window is one of the more functional areas of the EvE interface. It's simple and relatively easy to understand. It functions to do its job more than adequately. The only suggestion I can think of is to colour code the background of modules (and the fitting screen sections) to indicate where they will slot onto a ship. It might help for new players who aren't yet familiar with the LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, RIG layout.

To be brutally honest I think there are areas of the EVE interface that far more urgently require attention than again iterating the fitting window. Taking for example the the corporation interface and role management which in its current form is a higgelty piggelty twisted labyrinth of semi-functional options of which the world's brightest minds recoil in fear at the mention of solving.

The dev said it all when he said more like EFT and Pyfa. Start there, and then just go to the EFT and Pyfa support threads and look at the features players are asking for and you have a pretty mega case study and plenty of starting points.

Hi, i think it's a good ideas but no for the fitting window.

Add a new tool on the captain's quarter, an holoreel. Where you can fit, test and see ships with all these features but with an improved visual.

And this can be mix with the "Dojo" project.

This, except for one thing - overheat lifetime is probabalistic, not deterministic, and the degree of rage people who are bad at statistics will unleash when they suffer a 1-in-40 streak of bad luck and burn out modules 2 standard deviations faster than the norm is a shipstorm that CCP should seek to avoid.

(Either that, or impose a probability and statistics test before allowing people to post in General Discussion)

As for other suggestions, the key thing I want to see is a "Fit X copies of this ship, if I have sufficient modules/hulls/rigs in my present location" function, and one that also names all of those ships according to a naming convention (something like you input the name 'Frozen Corpse' and it names the ships Frozen Corpse 001 to Frozen Corpse 177). The quoted post suggests this but I'd say put it as #1.

I would so exploit that first one.

Find an unpopular module but one that is actually used from time to time (say a specific meta ECCM module, or a deadspace shield passive single resist mod) and manipulate the market so that the price is far higher than it should be.

The second one is excellent.
