Ship Outfitting should have a time delay

You can always go and play CQC for the quick action fix, but slow, deliberate gameplay is a part of ED... or it was, apparently.
Have a nice day.
haha +1 to you good Sir!
And thank God for that! [yesnod]

Weapons are not instant though. They have a small delay while they deploy
You mean while the old one goes into the bay, then a new one is 3d printed and comes out of the bay.

Instant outfitting also allows griefers to launch their ships in seconds, allowing them to reach areas like the CG ones sooner and kill more innocent commanders.
They all use USB 179 connectors, so just plug straight in/out...
'Teleporting ships/modules' from one station to another is different than 'teleporting modules/cargo' from the current station to my ship and 'magical repairs' because.......how exactly? Saying two things are different does not make it so. It's a necessary gameplay concession in both instances so people can actually just get on with playing the game.

I think it's wonderful you like to sit and wait to play a game, in the game. Go for it. Nothing is stopping you right now from waiting hrs/days/weeks for you mil spec bulkheads to be installed, your cargo loaded, your ship refueled, your fine payment to be processed, your modules exchanged, etc. Just don't design the mechanic so that I have to wait as well. That'd be a bit pigheaded.

"Slow deliberate gameplay" =/= "sit and idly wait", that isn't gameplay at all.

Why would they reintroduce module depreciation? That's a quasi-realistic feature to some people, but a major inconvenience to other people's playstyles. We don't inconvenience playstyles. Did you not get the memo?
(This is the trolling sarcasm thread isn't it? I am doing it right aren't I? It's just that the rules keep changing these days...)

Have a nice day.
I had hoped for a little help on the matter, but well... Maybe forum usage tips have a time delay?!
I think there should also be a delay when you jump between systems.
If we want it really true to the Elite games, maybe we should have a 4-7 day hiatus between systems, this would make Elite more of the slow steady gameplay that so many players apparently pander for.
I would also suggest that as soon as you enter orbital cruise you drop out of supercruise and fly your Anaconda/Asp/Sidewinder manually down to the base in real time, this adds to immersion and doesn't allow people to gameify and break the ponderousness that is the main attraction of Elite.
The question of faster than light travel should also be addressed, this instant transfer between systems isn't realistic, or even in system flight doesn't really demonstrate the gigantic scale of even the smaller planetary system.
I suggest that we form the Campaign For Real Time club (CFRT) and petition Frontier to instigate as many real time gameplay features as possible to make this game the most attractive, enjoyable, compelling game it could possibly be, based on real time activities, in a real scale universe, simulated on a pc and other consoles.....
A follow up would be the formation of the Campaign For Real Biology, as we all know that the lack of in game toilet functions seriously affects my gameplay activities, plus my CMDR must be really bustin for a wee by now...

You know, I'm just beginning to think that 'some people' aren't taking this issue nearly as seriously as it clearly needs to be.
I myself, only today, was hit on the head by the sky falling in as a direct result of this yet-implemented decision!
