changing ships in hanger without unloading and reloading drones and pet

i don't know about you guys but when i change my ship in the hanger, id like to "just change my ship" without unloading and reloading the drones and pet.
we have one pet and one set of drones so i think that we should be able to keep the equipment on the drones and pet and just change the ship.

when we click the hanger tab, then the equipment tab, there is 3 tabs that show, saying; ship, drones and pet.

when we click onto another ship, the current ship which is shown, changes. for example:
if i am in a goliath and i want to go into a venge. then a venge will show in place of the goliath ship. . now then. the ship is now changed yet the drones and pet tabs are empty on our new ship. why not just keep the drones and pet with the equipment on.?

in a hanger, with a ship, a set of drones and a pet, if i was to wheel my ship out of the hanger and put a new ship in its place, my drones and pet would still have there equipment still on them.lol .

it would be better to sort this issue as it would save time taking equipment on and off the pet and drones all the time and should be relatively easy to implement this change. . let me know what you think.ty

 

Exactly what i was thinking the other day, its a pain changing from my goli to my venge and then back again, especially when you need them ready as fast as possible. the ship is fine, but like you said it would save time and hassle if the drones and pet just stayed exactly how they are!

 

Yesss, that'd be perfect since the drones are the same for all space vehicles

 

Yes, a perfect idea. Orrr... We could have like 10 drones and 1 pet for each hanger that we have..1oo total drones and 1o pets.. Would be just great.. )(joking...or not). +1 from me to your idea, hope this will happen asap.

 

1+ good idea

 

+1 . I remember how much surprised and disappointed I was when I bought my first hangar hall expansion , and I learned that to equip the second ship I need to always transfer items from one ship to another. Because the drones are kept and if you use a cloak it will be available on both ships its kind of obvious this is is a maneuver to force players (FE or not) into spending more uri to gear up a second , even a third ship.My resolve was to purchase for my venge all gear that credits can buy :LF2 + AO3 ( I favor those instead of BO1 - quantity vs quality but I rely on my few pilot points,spent wisely I hope.) , bid on all extras ,again + 10 best speed gens - the unique uri investment . I am pleased for the moment , because my goli is still far from FE ,all uri goes on it .I only use the venge at paladium...when I can reach the map safely ,and until I'm destroyed by enemies..And my venge with credits equipment is good enough to kill a Baracuda only with x1 , sab and ofc lots and lots of rockets , so I can kill time/farm in pirate maps also . I hope my input can be somewhat helpful.

 

How about Bigpoint can make a config saving function where you save your configurations and you can select those configurations for certain ships.

Ex. You save configurations before changing ship and deleting configs, that way when you change it back, you can simply select that saved config without equipping anything. You wouldn't need to equip anything on the ship tab either.

If the equipment is currently on another ship hanger, the function won't be available to use until that hanger is deleted. (You can save it before deleting! )

 

yes i like that idea. that would be even better. i'm sure dark orbit would be able to put an extra option on hanger for this. shouldn't be too difficult to do. at the end of the day, its about improving what happens in the game, and making game play more enjoyable without having time consuming things to do like changing the pet and drones when we just need to change ships.

 

It'll be too easy and make the annoying part go away.
Don't like the idea.

 

i agree it needs to be earned not a gimmy

 

to the last 2 posts , i don't know why you would be negative about the idea?, its about making game play better and saving time. and as you said yourself yes it's annoying at the moment with how the drones and pet are empty when we change ship, but is easy enough for the d.o team to sort out. they could just keep the drones and pet as they are when a ship is changed in the hanger. it's like having a trailer on the back of your car, loaded with tools. you wouldn't unload the trailer just to change the car over would you.? its an improvement to the game that's needed. this is just another idea to improve the game.

 

Well, then add to Premium?

 

I approve adding it to prem or as a seperate package.

But not for free. No.

 

what about configs which could be safed ? normal guy 2 and prem guy 5 , or something around , let me think about that

 

If normal guy is 2, then prem should be 6 to keep it equal.

 

it was just a thought, it could be 5 or 6 how peps would like it more

 

True, but the ship items are INSIDE the ship.
So basically, you need to unload the car itself to switch the items to a different car.

 

Changing configs to a different ship is a pain , but DO showed us how to make it easier with the Ctrl buttons with a window and left click.

 

the drones surround the ship, and the pet trails behind the ship. the drones and pet are separate from the ship. my point is that the drones and pet should be left with there items on when we change ships.(unless you want to remove everything and re load the pet and drones to make the change in configs) i personally would prefer my configs left alone on the drones and pet when i'm changing ships

i'm not talking about ship items. i'm talking about the drones and pet which are separate from the ship

when the hangers were introduced they should have made it possible to keep the drones and pet loaded with there items when changing ships. The option to unload everything from ship and drones etc is there anyway. Are you a player or someone in the dark orbit team because you seem very negative about this thread.this is an ideas pool to improve the game and make positive changes, what is wrong with my idea.? i cant see it being a problem if they made a slight alteration and made it so drones and pet could keep the items on when changing ships instead of being empty. what is wrong with that?.

a gimmy.? what are you on about?. it's just a slight alteration so that the drones and pet can be still left with there items on when changing ships. whats the problem with that?

 

Ah, sorry, didn't read those parts
