    There should be an option to save, edit and delete ship configurations. Then apply and remove those configuration from a hangar hall. This would streamline the process of switching ships, which currently takes much too long. It's a huge hassle and generally the UI could be improved. This way we only have to do it once.

    Obligatory: Require active ship be at base

    The huge hassle is supposed to be the motivation for you to keep acquiring and upgrading more equipment than you essentially need. If you could easily strip one ship and quickly reconfig it all to another ship in another hangar then this would improve the players experience but mean they are less likely to try for a 2nd set of havocs/hercs or more lf4s etc.

    This, I believe, is the reasoning that BP employs. I'm not saying I agree it's right, merely trying to explain why I don't think they would ever do what you suggest.

    surely people don't actually do that? Make a whole new set of equipment just for switching ships slightly faster? that's obsurd

    yeah nice idea we should we able to save ships configuration but let me ask 1 thing did you took this idea from Star trek online CuZ they just added this in the game currently. But i agree there should be a option for save ship configure.

    Yes, exactly. This is the demographic that I believe the game developers are catering for. How else could you explain the missing function that the op has suggested be added?

    Lack of foresight?

    If you're going to claim that it's intentional at least have evidence or proof. Seems to me like you're working off of pure speculation here

    Yes of course it's speculation, it's just my opinion. The only "evidence" I have is the amount of time since the ability to have multiple hangars was added and the only change made afterwards was to add the delete config button. If they wanted players to be able to save configs to make it easier to change equipments then they would have added it then.

    Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with your first post and the idea. It would benefit most players that I know that like to use different configs for cubing, hunting or for gates etc.
