[UI] Equipment manager

Hello,

Suggestion 1. I would really want to see an option where you could save current equipment, so when you are equiping new ship you just press "ONE" button and it automatically equips the Lasers, Shields, RLauncher, Drone Designs, PET equipment (lasers, shields, protocols, pet gear). At current state it takes like 5 min to remove gear from a ship and equip "naked" ship.

Suggestion 2. It would be really nice if you can sellect ALL shields or lasers or Drone Designs on drones by shift + Lclick. Curently you can sellect only 2 shields or 2 lasers or 1 Drone design at a time.
For example: if you want to remove all shields/Designs/Lasers on drones now you just need to hit Shift+Lclick (this will select all shields/Designs/Lasers on drones) and than CTRL+Lclick (which will remove all shields/Designs/Lasers), instead doing this 5 times for lasers and shields and 10 times for Drone Designhs.

 

I'm all in for this idea, it's been suggested several times already and it'd really be nice if the devs considered it
On a side note - did you come up with that idea for the name from WoW? xD

 

Double true.

 

i can't tell you how many times i've wanted to switch ships and didn't because it's a pain, usually just wanting to mess around. the thought of gearing up a ship, only to have to switch back again afterward is annoying.

on one hand i like the "realism" of equipping multiple ships (and bp probably wants that reason to buy more than you need), but it doesn't make sense for your drones and pet, they should be independent if it's supposed to be realistic.

but for the sake of play i think you should be able to apply configs to each hanger using the same gear, then all you have to do is push the "activate" button and you're good to go. each hanger already has a seperate property list. it couldn't be a difficult update.

 

The only problem with that is that different ship types have different amounts of laser, generator and extra slots - therefore it'd be better to be able to simply save a given config on a given ship instead

 

also, i posted something similar about this and was told a few shortcuts that help. one button to delete configs on your current ship, easy enough. then on the new ship: shift click selects all of something; you can drag a box with the mouse to select all extras; ctrl click (not drag) moves over all selected, and works with drones. makes it a bit easier, although it's still a huge pain to take care of everything.

i'm saying equip the ship the way you want it in each hanger, with full access to all your gear. then all you have to do is switch hangers with the activate button, and that particular ship would be ready to go the way you like it.
