Suggestion [UI] Ship Transfer System

Simple idea,

When transfering systems to another ship, lets say a goliath configuration to the surgeon, you can't because the surgeon has 1 extra slot. So we must delete configurations. What a royal pain in the butt.

My idea is that the goliath should transfer the system to the surgeon, but the surgeon just has an empty generator slot for you to fill with an engine. Easy right?

Now you ask what is it like the other way around?
Easy. When transfering a system from the surgeon to the goliath, it has an extra engine, so a pop up would appear with the engine window displayed asking you to correct the issue, so in this case, remove 1 generator.

Same from Goliath to Aegis, screen would pop up for lasers, remove 5, done dusted saves 15 minutes of my life.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Thanks for reading.

 

can someone please tell me how i change from spectrum to goliathx tried many times but wen i go to manage ship no equipment on it wen i go back to spectrum same thing nothing on ship its like i have deleted con figs but i havent is it a glitch or is dark orbit broke?

 

It's a good idea. I hope they fix up the system soon for that.
But apart from that, I 100% prefer the original Hangar system, it's was nothing more than a pain in the ass to use what it is now.

On the plus side, the people with a TON of LF4s, Havocs, etc., can have multiple Goliaths equipped, and they can just simply warp them, oh man.

Delete BOTH configurations and reload your Hangar page.

Make sure you haven't equipped them to another ship as well.

Also, you could have used the Transfer System and the Goliath-X would appear when switching from Spectrum to X.

And please do not hijack the thread. If you have your own issue, you have to make your own post.

 

I think you're right with the original center being good, but darkorbit are always looking for new ideas, as is their reloaded theme. I think this idea, accompanied with the "presets" idea in another post in this section would make this hanger rather badass.

But until these ideas are implemented, or another user friendly way that we've not thought of is implemented, the original design was far better.

 

Just make an export/import system for configurations. Then players could save the config on your PC or save it to the cloud and load it whenever you need, or share it with other users. You could have specialized configs for specific purposes like cubes, PvP and gates. Save it in a config string


So the config string order goes like this

Config name | Lasers | Rocket launcher | Generators | Extras | Drone 1 | Drone 2 | Drone 3 | Drone 4 | Drone 5 | Drone 6 | Drone 7 | Apis drone | Zeus drone | Pet lasers | Pet generators | Pet gear | Pet protocols | Pet design

The number of each piece of equpment would be seperated by colons like so:
LF3:15
This means 15 LF-3 lasers

And the level could be denoted by a second colon
B02:5:10
This means 5 level 10 B02 shield generators

Equipment which share the same type of slot such as generators would be seperated by a comma within the bars
|B02:5,G3N7900:10|
This means 5 level 10 B02 shield generators and 10 speed generators

To tie this all together:

BasicGoliConfig|LF3:15|HST2|B02:10,B02:5:5|SL04,ROKT01,RLLB1,NCRRB,MINT02,JP02,ISH01,DR02,CLO4K,AROLX,AJP01,REP-4,GEMINEXXI|LF3:2|LF3:2|LF3:2|LF3:2|LF3:2|LF3:2|LF4:2|LF3,LF4|||LF3:5|B02:10|GKK3||

Loading the string would give the following:

• 15 lf3s
• a hellstorm 2 launcher
• 10 B02 generators
• 5 B02 generators that are level 5
• an assortment of extras
• lasers on all drones and the few LF4 they have on drones
• no apis or zeus drones (the player lacks those drones)
• 5 lasers and 10 generators on the P.E.T.
• a kamikaze gear
• no pet design

Equipment level would be ignored if the pieces of the appropriate level are not available. The default behavior puts highest level items on drones first, then pet, then the ship.

If the ship has not enough slots for the loaded equipment the available slots are filled first in the order given in the string

If there is not enough equipment for the available slots those slots are left empty

Left over slots remain empty.

All errors in loading a config string from slot availability or equipment types are displayed. The player should look these over manually.

 

What I think is that there will probably be multiple fleets of similar ships released that are similar to Surgeon. The other thing I want to mention is DO is a business and businesses look for expansion always! Besides, the UFE's will have multiple ships maxed with them ready and equipped like you already mentioned. Therefore, I do not think anything will change about the current system.
