Add a ship schematic and details of hardpoint convergence to the outfitting screen

[Eukanuba23]

After getting my first properly large ship (a T-10), I realised how difficult it is to work out where the hardpoints and utility mounts are in relation to each other.

Please implement something in the outfitting screen that makes it easier to see exactly where these guns and utilities are being fitted, and also which guns can fire at the same time (the T-10 particularly is designed in such a way that it is never possible for all the guns to hit a single target at the same time).

So sort of like these compartment diagrams but each selected component is highlighted?

completely agree. The outfitting view of the hardpoints (and utility mounts) is horrible. On many ships (especially those with hardpoints underneath the ship) I have no idea where exactly the hardpoints are when viewed from the outfitting screen. I never understood why outfitting doesn't just provide you with the external camera view and allow you to move the camera around however you like while you attach / detach components :/

Yes, exactly that kind of thing. And perhaps when a particular gun is highlighted, converging guns could also be indicated, perhaps with a cone showing field of fire.
