Saving Configs

I know this has been suggested before but I'd like to bring this up again, but with some twists:

1. You may save up to 2 configurations, not counting the one currently on the ship. Premium can save up to four.
2. You may name the configs (e.g, "Alien Bashing"), Premium gets the bonus of adding a description underneath.
3. Equipment can participate in multiple configs.
4. Along with equipment, drone formations can be auto-changed as the player changes to the config the formation is in. (Not sure if this should be premium-exclusive)
   
5. Along with the upgrade level, all equipment will display what configs it is in
   in its info pop-up

 

Seems pretty reasonable.

But I don't understand the drone formation part.

 

I like the idea but don't think it will get implemented. Think on it if DO did this then you wouldn't have to equip more than one ship make people spend on 45 lf4s or 90 lf4s. DO wouldn't be here if they didn't want to make money. Call them greedy or what you will but i don't see them throwing money away on something they know they can make it on. that would just be bad business.

+1 from me i do like the idea would be cool

 

I think it means you can save a specific drone formation to a saved config for a certain ship if that makes sense, if that's what he/she meant then good idea along with the saving configs part.

 

No, because the lasers would be removed from the other hangar. So you still only use the equipment that has been used.

I like this idea quite much. Would be so much easier to change from Gate configs to PVP configs. I can't be bothered changing configs so I just do my gates in my pvp configs.

Also for Bigpoint to make some money they could sell it for Uridium like they do for hangars.

 

Hmm +1.

 

I think we all know, DO/BP included that the amount of money they want us to shell out for an array of maxed ships is ridiculous beyond all reality. Short term profit seems to be favored so you seem to be right though. It's bad business though to want someone to hand over thousands to stand a chance at competing while the game is in such a state, pretty bad lag quite often, glitch riddled at times, to repetitive at times, half dead, cheat riddled, etc.

 

sounds good to me as it would definitely be a in-game benefit to save time.
one problem i do see however is if you bring in one saved config that requires other lasers or shields that have been placed on a different hangar, how would this work?

 

i think that being able to save the configs to the drones and pet is something i have mentioned before. when we change hanger, i accept that it is a different ship. so understandably the ship in a different hanger is empty, but the drones and pet are the same no matter what, so id like to see a saved config for the drones and pet to save time changing all the equipment when we change hangers. changing the hanger to have a different ship should have no affect on the drones and pet, which is realistic.

 

you have my vote

 

Exactly.

*Update* You can save up to 2 configs for P.E.T. (Drones are part of ship)
