Is there a quick way to fit out ship when changing ship.

If you plan ahead, the answer is yes you can buy modules and have them delivered to the station you are docked in.

Players do this all the time. You can buy whatever modules you want and put them in storage for use later on*. Particularly handy for engineering items at remote locations. Shield boosters, wake scanners, multicannons, lasers, are all examples of things you engineer extras of and leave in storage for later. Other misc things you buy and leave in storage for later delivery are cargo racks, passenger cabins, etc. When you need them you get them delivered. Forward planning.


*Unfortunately you are limited to the module slots available to your current ship. For the types of modules you would typically swap out for various purposes this isn't an issue. And as you accumulate different sized ships you also accumulate stuff in storage.

I use this routine all the time for various reasons, usually when I can’t get my FC into the system I’m working in.

I’ve got multiple sets of the same weapons engineered in different ways for different scenarios.
I’ve even got multiples of the same ships set up in different ways.

Some times I want my Bounty Hunting ship, sometimes I want my CZ ship.
Sometimes I want my Pack Hounds instead of my Seekers.
If it’ll take longer to go back to my FC than it will to have them transferred then I’ll transfer them and go put the kettle on while I wait.
Plus they’ll be then at the station I’m taking missions from for easy acces if I change my mind again.

As the old adage goes...

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.”

Barely, but yes it should.

I went mining in my Type-9 once. Once. It just takes way, way too long to fill all the cargo space on a large ship, in my opinion. I prefer to break it up into bite-sized chunks in my mining Python. 192 tons cargo + 6 tons in the refinery still nets you ~55 million in Platinum. I'd rather do that several times with a break in between than a single marathon session. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I have got 2 T9's that I use for mining, it all depends on where you mine, out in the black (500+ly from bubble or Colonia) there are no NPC's to bother you so you can park up in the rings without any problems, They also allow you too collect a greater variety off commodities at the same time because of the greater cargo capacity.

There ya go.

Back when >500t of cargo space in a mining ship meant bringing home the thick end of a billion credits I could just about force myself to stick at it for long enough to fill the hold (even so, I only ever did it once) but now the rewards for mining have been nerfed, it's jus not worth the suffering.

My mining T10 only has 256t of cargo space, partly because I want to be able to swap to a python rather than flying the T10 to market and partly because 256t is about when I start to lose interest, but I don't use that very often now.
Far better (IMO) to use something like a Python or Krait, have a 45 minutes session of mining, bung the ore straight into my FC and then go do something else - or go back for another session of mining if I still feel like it - and then worry about selling the ore when I've stockpiled a couple of thousand tonnes.

Even my AspX miners, with a capacity of 64t, have easily earned me a billion credits since I built them and a session barely seems to get started before I've filled the cargo hold.

I actually enjoy mining but I don't want it to become a chore so frequent small sessions are better (for me) than a marathon session.
