The possibility to save different ship loadouts, firegroups and module power priorities (and to equip them quickly if they're stored at your current location) would be a great feature that has been raised many times. A few threads all about the loadout request (there are probably quite a few more I haven't found):
Just a few arguments:
-
A little baffled by this......
Another game with a pretty specific element in this case, ships. Without Horizons it was pretty much all about buying a ship equipping them and then enjoying the content of the game with said ship. So why like so many games now (The Division springs to mind) does it not have load outs? I know...forums.frontier.co.uk

Programmable Ship Loadout Presets
You've just come back to your home station after a long exploration time outside the bubble. You are equipped with lightweight everything, no hardpoints, etc. How nice would it be to open a list of presets you've created with all the models with that ship and to just be able to click "Bounty... -
Suggestion: Save Outfitting-Loadouts for Ships
Dear Frontier, Please, can you consider this request as a "Quality of Life" change. I have five different ships, three of which perform different roles depending on the missions or mode of play I am going for. It would save commanders so much hassle if we could save weapon and module loadouts... -
Suggestion: Loadout Save/Quick loadout
Module storage is awesome, and with that IMO it gives multi-purpose ships a huge boost. We can now have the modules stored to configure our ship for any kind of role, or even multiple roles at once if your so inclined to do so. With this, I would love to see the ability to have "quick... -
Some way to save ship fitting layouts
I use my ASP Explorer for Mining, Trading, Exploration etc. and often change fittings; but wouldn't it be nice to have a fittings saved button so you could name the fitting and if you have the modules in storage it would automatically fit them at the click of a button? -
Ability to save loadouts
As the title says. I have an Anaconda set up for exploration, but it would be nice to be able to switch to a combat setup on the fly, especially now that aliens are coming. If your modules are in another station it could give you an option to transfer them. Not asking for infinite saved... -
Save Ship loadout?
So with the impending feature that we will be able to store ship modules, I am wondering.. do we know if thats all we are getting or have they included the slightly obvious feature to have pre-saved loadouts with the gear you own? Quality of life improvement i guess but would really speed up... - Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/777ukk/ship_presets/

Feature request: Ship Loadouts.
Greetins CMDRs, Simply put, I have ships that are useful for various tasks. In order to fulfill these different tasks however, different builds are required. In order to fulfill these builds, I must go into the outfitting screen, swap out each and every component with the correct one from... -
Saved Ship Loadouts
At the moment, it is a tedious and time consuming task to switch a ship from trading to exploring or to any other gameplay type. I don't have enough credits (or engineering materials) to purchase a ship for each task. I would love to see the ability to save complete loadouts for ship with a name... -
Customizable Ship Loadout Presets
[Feature request] Now with the outfitting growing even more complex due to Thargoid modules coming up, it would be great to have a "Save current loadout as preset" option. Equip your ship, save the loadout as "LR Exploration" (for example), change to a bounty hunting configuration after a... -
Ship Loadouts
Dear Frontier Dev Team, I love your game. This is truly a suggestion, not a complaint. Please add a feature to save ship loadouts like you already can with pilot customuzation profiles. If you have the necessary modules stored at the station then switching to that loadout would be free or... -
Save and Swap Loadouts
Now those of you with Billions of credits, probably dont give a diddly and have a ship for every role. Me, I'd like the ability to construct a loadout for... say my ASP. One a trading role with best cargo space, One an Exporation role with enough fuel bays to shame a tanker. Well you get the... -
Ship Loadout 'Saves' - and/or Naming Modules
Please consider giving us the ability to save a loudout for a ship as a 'template'. For example, I have a ship I use for different purposes 1) Piracy 2) Local missions 3) Combat Let me click a UI item to load/attempt to load any modules I have saved to that template (switch weapons, modules... - Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/8edb4h/suggestion_saved_ship_loadouts/

Ship fitting profiles
Could you add the ability to switch between saved ship fitting profiles? Changing out an entire loadout from combat to exploration etc takes a lot of time especially since you thought it would be cool we had to watch as each module disappears and is replaced with the new one. This can take a... -
Changes to Shipyard / Outfitting GUI
So here's the thing. I'm sitting in my home system right now, planning to swap my current ship for another one. But I want to use some of its modules in the other one. The current way to do it is to store the modules (which requires me to replace at least the core modules with something else)... -
Saving ship configuration.
Is it not about time we can save specific ship loadouts on a specific chassis. Makes sense to me and save a lot of messing around having multiple ships of the same type. -
QoL Suggestion: Ship Loadouts
I find I often switch a single ships parts around for the various roles I use it for (anaconda for instance). If we could save loads for each ship that would make it much quicker and more precise process (ever forget your detailed surface scanner and only realize it after jumping 30 times?). It... - Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/amnwqa/can_we_please_get_a_option_to_save_ship_loadouts/

Saving loadouts for easy change
First post to the forums, apologies if it's in the wrong spot. Went digging to see if this was posted anywhere else and I could not find it on the forums. I was hoping to submit a feature request for saving different loadouts for ships. I have my Python set up as a mining ship and I have all... -
Saved Ship Loadouts
Suggesting ship loadouts be saved and reloaded like setups for racing games. I select the loadout i want and then the switch is made. I have my T10 i want to go do some bounty hunting in a res i load the saved outfitting and my weapons and modules appropriate for the job are installed, i want to... - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...able-loadout-slots-desperately-needed.561545/
Just a few arguments:
- our time is valuable. Especially for players with a full time job and family. Sitting in a dock and changing your loadout and firegroups for the 20th time from one role to another isn't fun.
- more playtime with your friends. Quite a few times a friend came spontaneously online and we wanted to go bounty hunting in a res site. Instead of a simple button press at my home station where all my modules are stored, I need to fiddle around with outfitting to change the equipment of my Conda. Valuable coop playtime lost every time.
- "Purchase another Ship" isn't a good argument. Again our time is valuable. Not every player has so much spare money and time to buy and equip several ships, especially if you have engineered modules you don't want to do that twice or even more often. Even without the money and grind argument: when the game provides a feature like re-equipping a ship it shouldn't be a time sink using it, as it's just repetitive, slow and boring gameplay to equip your ship in a specific way over and over again. Some QoL additions are needed, like the many linked threads above clearly show.
