Purchase ANY equipment available. Later ship elsewhere

[Dustdevil]

Currently, I have a ship stuck in Quince-
It's FS drive sucks and can not make it to an engineer for upgrading. Nor is there an FS drive near available.
So why can I not in my Viper fly to 'said' location, buy a class 7 (which can't fit in my Viper).
Fly back to my Beluga location.
Pay to have said equipment moved, so I can get the ship out of there?

I seem to only be able to buy equipment 'only' for the ship I am currently piloting.
The logic associated to this is befuddling and remarkable. Quite a leap actually, but so is flying of willy-nilly into space as we do.

I'm on board. I can see why it's not implemented yet - they'd have to build a new "View All Available Outfitting" option, or something - but it is really something throwing hours at.

I'd love it. I want to go shopping with my ASPX and buy some Anaconda modules... Just have the ship type selectable in the outfitting mode. Or, to avoid the confusion, have your ships selectable and equip them directly. It would be like ordering online...

I think players need to learn their limits when traveling. Dustdevil just show how not to fly. If there asteroids the system you are in. You can ask for someone to bring in their Mining laser to mine minerals for you and you collect them. So you can get FSD injection. To get out of the system. Or use Self Destruct. So you can get into a system that better suited for you.

But we don't need fix when common Sense work just as well.

Thing is, he does have a point, we do have module storage now so DustDevi's suggestion does actually make sense.A better idea would be for the outfitting system to show everything for sale but only have the current selection that can be fitted immediately. Anything that the station doesn't normally stock would have to be transported in from elsewhere & so would take time - but less than having to fly out, buy the asset, then fly back & transfer it.

This is reasonable suggestion. All the mechanics to support its use are already in the game - only the filter in the outfitting is preventing it.
