[UI] Hangar equipment memory...

Hi ppl...
Am I alone in being concerned about how long it takes to re-equip a ship you own, in a different Hangar, from what you consider to be the best items you have?
I understand that some players have innumerable LF4s and etc.. but as a normal player who has played and paid for a long while now I ask..

Why is it not possible for each Hangar to have a memory, similar to the memory that we have for Hotkeys when we warp ships?

I have almost all the ships and the designs according to my own gameplay but...!
If I want to change and have a different ship then I need to DE-equip my 'main' (as Im not blessed with 150LF4s) to then transfer to another ship that I own and already have in a different Hangar... YAWN!!
I have bought the Hangar for Uri, and some the ships as well along with being Premium(not relevant), and all it does is house a useless ship until I equip it as best I can... and by the time I have equipped it the game will/may have moved forward and I will again need my previous ship... major bottom ache!!

please feel free to comment and vote or just ignore this idea...

 

I have a few ships and limited items but yes, I hate scrolling and adding so long that the reason for my change of ships is gone before my return.

 

and clearing out one hangar to put stuff on another.. then back to it. so fun

 

OMG I was just about to post a thread exactly like this. I just spent a lot of REAL money to purchase all the designs packages and it would be nice to just be able to go to a folder and click on a config. for a specific type of ship. Now keep in mind, that like having extra hangers ,there would most likely be an additional cost to this convenience but , from my perspective a modest fee would be acceptable .

 

This is a good idea, I hope it gets implemented soon.

 

without supporting things from many players nothing get implemented...
Thank-you all so far for you support maybe put the idea out to others and invite their comment, if not support!!...

 

My solution to this is to own all of the extras for all of my ships and having that all pre loaded as I want for the purpose of that ship. Using the "shift" and click selects ALL of one type of equipment so to equip guns is 2 steps per config, generators are a little harder if using both speed and shield. Using the delete config for the drones and PET make it easy to remove the items but it is a drag re-loading them unless they are 100% the same item again can use the "shift" if this to be the case, and the PET is a bummer if you need to reload all of the gear and protocols (but you could own all of these for each hangar also). There is something dealing with "Favorite Hangars" that has been seen by Okapi32, posted in his thread, but there is not much information about it or when it will be released.

 

fine..
but support from the players for some version of this is not going to hurt..

 

Yes support is needed and is why I voted to support this, I just was trying to point out an easier way to get around the issue currently. I think if the "Favorite Hangars" is what I think it is and allows us to store the information like we want it will make the changing of the ships easier. Something I have struggled with is, since we do not have multiple drones and PETS (each Hangar uses the same ones) why are these needed to be re-equipped when changing Hangars?, unless we want a different setup for them in a different situation they should have the same equipment on them no matter what Hangar they are used with. This would solve a lot of the problems with the length of time we are dealing with the Hangar changes.

 

I support this also, but then if they make this happen why would there be any need for more than enough equipment for 1 ship?

 

The need is strictly so we could just warp to the other ship without having to configure it. Even with the memory we are going to have to activate the hangar (not warp into it) to transfer the equipment (which means logged out or sitting at a Base). Just won't need to spend any time moving equipment.

 

I like the idea, it's very annoying to put my better items in the other hangar with many, separate clicks. I only need 5 min, but it's still a waste of time and IMO a misbelief of the old times when they thought the WW were VERY "lazy" and bought all the expensive stuff for all hangars...oh it wasn't a misbelief, the WW really did it.

BTW, polls are permitted

 

I voted "yes" . Since a majority of players do not have the equipment to outfit every ship in their inventory.
Just the fact that DO is taking a vote makes me hopeful that this upgrade is not far away. With the exception of the Aegis , which is next,I also have most of the ships currently available ,including Defcom and Yamato , which would be nice to switch to once in a while , for a change. Just for fun.

 

Well the next MAJOR change "In-Game Equipment" will address this and create so much confusion it will take us 15 minutes to decide what ship is or is not equipped with anything. Every design that has an affect on anything, except cosmetic changes to the ship, will now be a ship and if available (owned) will be put on top of the unavailable ships, ships that have been equipped with anything will be in hangars (don't know if these will be the BOUGHT Hangars or the New Favorite Hangar as the Test Server did not allow us to see both types) and there is a potential the Favorite Hangars might be "saved Config Hangars" so ships assigned automatically equip with the configs set there (again just supposition as nothing seen).

But we will no longer be forced to select the 10 ships we want and can have every ship available from a P'nut all the way to the newest ship they decide to add. But the question is at what cost to our ability to play the game?

 

I vote yes on this. I almost liked the idea that you couldnt do it, just to say you went through the ringer and got enough LF4 and BO2 ect ect to equip to all of your ships as some sort of achievement. That'd be cool and it would keep players engaged long after their "#1 ship" has reached UFE lvl16 everything status. It would give them something else to do and some what of a start over without having to make a new account (why would you do that anyways)

Maybe if they did go this route have every ship almost be its own account in your account, with its own drones and everything.

Kinda like the idea.
