Could you ask when CCP will tackle the fitting window issues? I know that they will bring out the mining platforms first, but the fitting window even got a thread last year in the upcoming features section and that it.Sad IMHO is fitting a ship one of the main features of Eve and worst UI ingame.
Also a guide for noobs how to fit a decent tank would be great. This had been one of my biggest problems at the beginning till I found EFT. They got a tutorial video about ship skins Shocked but NOTHING about fitting a ship.Roll

Ghost fitting is coming. (I don't have a date for you, but it's actively having work done on it)

As for teaching people how to fit, there are some ideas being kicked around, both from CCP, and from the CSM.

One I'm fond of (and am pushing) is a number of sample fits in game. Teaching by example. They wouldn't be _wonderful_ fits, just solid ones, which take minimal skills.

Woo! CSM XI!

Thanks for the answer.
I don't think that some tutorial fits are enough. This Topic is complicated and it's best if you can print it out and use as reference while fitting especially while you are not familiar with all the different modules. So a fitting "manual" would do the trick.
You need to understand the principles behind the fitting where some example fittings will certainly help. Tight "wonderful" fit are nothing a noob can use anyway.

The best source of information for me was Uni-Wikis tanking site.
