[UI] Equipment can be equiped to all hangars.

Think this is a very obvious addition.
Allowing us to be able to equip our current equipment onto multiple hangers.. so every time we have to change we don't have to spend 10mins+ reequipping ( literally takes that long.. ) Quite frustrating to do if I'm honest.

Its forcing some players to try making all there hangers equipped with unique equipment..
considering how god damn long & expensive it is to get one ufe ship... I think this should be changed..

Whether it is changed or not, quite frankly is reliant on how greedy you are.

 

Now with all the hangers allowed at a very inexpensive price so should a change like this should happen. All DO needs to do is reinstall your last config. on that particular ship and off you go.

And honest you are for it is a pain.

 

I find the biggest problem is equipping drones and extras. Extras generally aren't that hard to get in the auction, so it would be nice to have a way to equip to all drones at once, or de-equip a section (a single config, or generators/lasers/extras).

 

The extra's don't take long to get. You can get enough extra's for all 10 hangers in less than a week on most servers.
I feel you about this issue though. Drones are time consuming to remove from but if you are pretty much moving just one set of equipment, its not that big of a deal. It really about how rushed you feel you are.

 

The first paragraph will help you in expediting the load/ unload of your configs.

The length of time is in re-equipping they have a button (next to the config selection) that deletes the entire config. So select the ship push a button, select drones push a button, select PET push a button, change configs and repeat. Guns is easy "SHIFT" select gun release shift click gun and drag full config to whatever is open so 6 times for all configs in the hangar, generators are the same way (but if you want mixed then you need to remove what you don't want (this works for the drones also but if you want mixed, laser and shield, you would have to remove the extras and then individually load the second slot).

IF you did not sell equipment when upgraded from FE to UFE you could easily have several FE ships ready equipped and then your UFE ship for hunting. And with the number of people just doing gates probably have enough to make more than one ship UFE.

I have enough of the extras for all 10 hangars, from AUCTION, and depending on what time you are bidding get them for peanuts (I have 19 extras plus 11 HS-2 and 2 extras doubled) and get them all for about 2 Million credits total. This includes Smart Bomb, Insta Shield, Mine Turbo, Rocket Turbo, Slot 4 CPU, 2 Rocket Buy CPU's (1 each config), 2 Ammunition Buy CPU's (1 each config), Rocket Launcher CPU, Radar CPU, Repair Bot CPU, Rep 4 Bot, Weapons Boost CPU, Generator Boost CPU, Jump CPU 2, Drone Repair CPU, Auto Rocket CPU, Advanced Jump CPU, Targeting CPU, Cargo Expansion, and HS-2 (need an extra for the Citadel ship). The only ones I have a bidding war on are the Insta Shield, Targeting CPU, Slot 4, and Smart Bomb (of course there are those that really want them and then you just wait till the next auction).

I usually bid (in credits) the Uridium price of the item and most of the time I get it, exception being those in bidding war and I double the price for them, slot 4 could have to go 1 million for. The bidders trying to get the items to increase their credits will stop at double the Uridium price as they only get 2.5 the Uridium price in credits when selling them except the Expansion Cpu's they give 5 times (so Slot 4 gives 1.25 million when selling it).

I did notice after the reduction of the hangar prices the AUCTION did get a little crazy and people were bidding like we had just had an Invasion Gate and a major influx of credits but that is short lived and middle of the night most people are not looking at the extras but want the boosters, generators, and weapons. The nice thing is you don't lose anything if you are outbid as the credits are returned to you (and if you are premium you even get 5% refund on the credits bid on a won item). I would suggest making a list of what you want and keep it at hand when in AUCTION so you don't have to go back and forth between HANGAR and AUCTION to see what you want or need for the HANGARS.

 

Mostly the upgraded items are the ones swapped from hanger to hanger unless you are crazy enough the get all upgrades for all ten upgrade able items in each garage then you don't have to swap items in hanger

 

Well some people upgraded the LF-3's then upgraded LF-4's that replaced them and thus could have a FE ship and a UFE ship already equipped. And with the people always getting more LF-4's from GG's they might still upgrade them thus making a third ship ready for flight UFE. I know when I first started we were always told we needed 35 each LF-3 and BO-2 for FE but then these were the days before the Apis, Zeus, and PET plus there was no LF-4 even being mentioned at this time so some had already upgraded the LF-3's so they could have enough upgraded LF-3's to equip some of the smaller (toy) ships and actually have 5 ships ready to fly without even having to change equipment at all.

 

Never upgrade LF-3s - waste of uri...do GGates until you have an LF-4 then you start upgrading that.

If you have the credit drones upgrade go ahead with that

 

You are right, but I did say, they did it BEFORE the release of the LF-4's not knowing about them. I would not even upgrade the FLAX as they are a TEMP drone and I would rather save credits to bid on IRIS.

 

Upgrading a credit item is crazy anyways. Have you seen the upgrade prices.

Upgrading LF3's, bash away, is a matter of choice. Not everyone is doing the gates right away. I have played 3+ years and just got an LF4, by quest.

 

Personally, I know, you can make it quicker, get multiple fe hangers etcetc.
Id rather just sort out all my hangers once using the equipment I've earned. So there done & dusted, if I want to change boom 10 seconds.
I think if this was implemented id probably change quite a few times a day. It's partially me being lazy, but just think its logical while not realistic to be able to use the same equipment on multiple hangers. But as it stands, Ill just change very rarely.

Getting extra equipment, I still need things on the market , i.e all 3 of the daytrade ships & there skins all the skins on weekly market etc.
Plus if ever wanted to get damagebooster, so Don't fancy bidding on 30 more lf3s/bo2s. Just hassle. On my server it isn't to bad, 15-20mill for an lf3/ shield -1-2mill for speed gens. But on some servers I reckon the bids are still 100mill + for lf3s etc.

I just feel its a logical change, simplifies things massively.

PS. I ALSO HATE HAVING A CROWDED INVENTORY. that's with one ships worth of equipment. sorting out 3-4 ships worth..
......
that would drive me up the wall.

 

The nice thing is when item is equipped to a Hangar it is no longer in the available inventory, so unless going into the actual inventory tab you would only see the unequipped items in the active hangar. The "specialty" (defensive items) are the only things I have to sort through as I am not "hunting" (PvP) and so don't have any of them equipped at the moment. And as these are all grouped together there really is not much sorting to be done (unless looking at main inventory tab but click on user and select type of equipment you want to look at and it again sorts it into groups), I used this method to verify I had the "extras" I needed for all 10 Hangars. Yes I need the generators and LF-?'s for the other hangars but as I get more LF-4's I get another LF-3 for another Hangar.

I have that quest open also but don't do much PvP so it will remain open for a while.

Friends, that got me involved, have been playing (off and on) since 2010-11, started upgrading before the release of the LF-4 and have enough to FE a goliath upgraded, after the release of the LF-4 they stopped upgrading the LF-3 as they saw it as a waste to do so. But now they can FE smaller ships (surprising some attackers) when they want to mess around. People hunting in lowers attack a FE Leonov, with the home map enhancements, and they have a fight on their hands. Only the UFE seem to be able to give a decent fight to the FE Leo. And then they can usually get to a portal and jump before they pop.

 

i like your idea your so right and it would be nice too! :3 1+

 

i think you should be able to just copy and paste configs...

would be much easier that way, so when you wanna switch you just cut the config and paste it in the new hanger.
