  1. Okay so some of these may already be in the works but if not then what do you think about adding these items to make the Hangar more convenient.

    Saved Configs
    • These are assigned to each ship and load the ship with the available equipment as you have saved them.
    • This allows a person to automatically load the ship as they usually fly it and does not fall under the Transfer System rules.
    Delete Configs
    • When changing between different ship types (not old designs) we hit one button and delete the equipment assigned instead of having to do both configs.
    Hotkey settings
    • Allow us to make a Standard Hotkey Bar assignment that is applied to every ship we activate and then we just modify for the abilities of that particular ship.
    Categorize the Ships
    • This has the Favorite Hangar ships only shown and then the ship classifications under them.
    • Allows players to see their ready ships easily without all of the clutter.
    • Players not interested in seeing Credit Ship never have to scroll through them to find other ships.
    • Assigns Skill Designs to the ship classification instead of alphabetically in the current screen.
    • Would reduce clutter so you are looking at only type of ship you are currently looking for.
    1. Goliath
    2. Vengeance
    3. Aid Ships (Aegis, Citadel, Spearhead)
    4. Credit ships
    Favorite Hangars
    • Allow us to customize the listing in an order we want
    • Attach Ship location to each ship (this should be done to every Owned ship)
    What are your feelings about these and have I missed anything that others would like to see added to make this system easier to deal with?
    TY theOtherKey
    With the Favorite Hangars I am thinking of being able to sort as to preference instead of alphabetical as it is now and being able to hover over ship in screen instead of having to EXPAND Hangars to see them.

    As for the rest of it I have seen some of these but thought that having them all in one place might draw more attention to them instead of in random issue threads. Did not mean to take any credit for them, but did consolidate them.

    Edit;

    The ability to arrange the ships in Favorite's is so you can have the most used ships on first page of Warp window instead of as they are in the Hangar screen, and as they are now they appear as you had them in the old Hangar system which would be in the order you placed them in the Hangars not necessarily the order in which you choose to use them.

  2. Saved Configs... I have a similar suggestion running since Feb this year >here< so yes I agree wholeheartedly ...
    Delete Configs... Why not...
    Hotkey settings... already suggested by myself or others and costs nothing so why shouldn't they...
    Categorize the Ships... not sure this is necessary with the starring system we have just acquired...
    Favorite Hangars... with some fiddling this is possible with the new update... starred ships can be wherever you like and their hangar and position is shown on the backpage top left as before...

    Generally a like ty HelpMeHelpYou

    EDIT..
    What would alphabetizing or a favourite system achieve... I wouldve thought anyone who has multiple Hangars(starred) with several ships/designs might know what they want for their change... the Hangar>Expand option already tells you which ships are currently available and in which map they are situated... if a more complicated exchange is desired surely they would go to base/hangar/log-out and deal with it on the backpage... we all heard that there are further things on the horizon which these are part and parcel of but ...

    OK you are right to collect currently unachieved goals and I said as much...

  3. Yes the hot key standardized is the idea i was looking for as long as it does keep the original structure of the first designed Quickslots.
    One addition may also be that drone formations don't change from the last used. Every time that i am killed or start the game my Drone Formation has been changed to the first 1 in the row.
     
  4. The drone formation to default is a known glitch and will be dealt with hopefully...
