This would be useful.
Yeah, that would be useful. Just have everything coming from one specific station, maybe Jameson just without the discount unless you qualify for it. Then add on the standard transport fee and delay - same as we have now when relocating modules but a flat 5% or 10% purchase fee.
Then it would be up to each Commander to weigh the pros and cons on whether it would be better to fly to a station and get the module (taking into account time, fuel costs etc) or just ordering one from Jameson and taking the hit in extra cost and time.

We can sell parts remotely as it is already, so why not purchase them remotely and have them shipped to us?
That would just make sense.

Among the things that could be added to the game is ...
(Shame we have 6 months of bug fix releases before we get any new features eh?

Here an easy fix for you. Get elite in one of 3. Trade Combat or Exploration and you can get all your parts at the Founders world. I know you will try to go it is too far. This game does not hold your hand because you want a short cut.
I doubt fitting something to a ship in elite is an easy task, not something someone could just do probably
I am pretty sure that the OP isn't asking for the ability to fit the modules himself. I see this proposal as just an extension of the outfitting screen, if it isn't available at the station then the module can be remotely ordered for increased cost and delivery time. If we can remotely sell modules, organise shipping modules to any station with an outfitters, then why can't one order modules?
Well ok, but we can already ship modules we have bought and stored somewhere, to our location, this would mean you can do the same, just without having to fly back to that station, buy the module, store it, fly back to the place you wanted it, and transfer it.
The issue I see with it is there need to be new UI created.

Just remembering some of the old topics when the Devs did talk. Some parts it easier to get some stations than others Depending on the system and station. It like you are not going to find the Best FSD at an extrusion site but you will find mining equipment.
It would have to be one of them you had to discover a location that sells it you can do it. Not use a third party site and type in the location and bam you have an buy anything easy mode. The cost should be 4x the amount you normally pay for them.
Part of the fun of new players is finding the location to get the best equipment.
Considering how easy the exploration Elite & Shinrarta Dezhra permit is to get, seems like a non-issue nowadays. I started Elite like two years ago and the only thing I really ever scouted parts (and credits) for was my first Asp Explorer.

That would help me buy remotely from Li stations to get discounts for the rebuy and remotely bring them in. I would pay a seperate fee for remote buy as long as it doesn't add to the rebuy cost. That might be an important detail. Plus it should include my elite discount. Seperate fee is great though as I don't have to travel and can wait for parts if desired. I oftent don't want ot bother moving. I can always log off or wait for less hassle.

I started when the game started. Now I have 3 accounts. It uses to take a long time for any Elite promotion. I have done trade Penniesless to Elite Trader in 16 hours on a new account and had over a billion credits earned. Now Exploration it only takes a few weeks to get Elite Exploration and combat take the longest.
I have to say if you have access to Founders world you really don't need delivery.
I don't really have a strong opinion about that, merely pointing out that very early in the game station-based part availability turns from a task into a (rather pointless) inconvenience.

You know if everything was handed to you on a silver spoon early on. Then why play the game? It would be like asking for an I win feature before the player learns how to play the game. Sounds stupid right. Part of the game is going ok High tech worlds might give you this tech. Refinery worlds might give you that tech and say Ohh I get it now.
An I am lazy button would make this game lame. Learning to find what you need is part of the gameplay. We already have exploits I already pointed them out.
What actually are these bugs people keep going on about, i've been playing the game for a month or two now and not noticed any bugs on the ps4
Having less pointless inconveniences, especially to new players, doesn't mean getting everything handed to you on a silver spoon.
Hunting for parts seems to be one of those inconveniences - you learn to hunt for parts (not that it's rocket science, just search Inara or EDDB), but then you don't actually need to know anything about that at all because everything is available at Jameson's, and even cheaper.
Nobody hunts for parts. The game does not have a means to even do so. You look online and then go to the place you want. Usually based on discounts. You could always use the thing where you pay credits for remote info. That would be fair and convenient.
