Saving loadouts for easy change

[Tokoree]

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 the modules to swap to combat if I want to go out and do that. What would be REALLY nice, is once docked I can click a button that strips my ship and replaces it with the modules from a saved loadout that I have created.

Don't know if this is a popular idea or not but would make it very convenient to say the least.

It gets asked for once in a while. I'd bite the bullet and buy another Python.

Well that's strange since it has been suggested about 400 billion times.
Oh lookie here:

Save Ship Loadouts - collection of request threads

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...

Thanks X, appreciate the welcome. I didn't even see that posting at all in my search.

If it is such a highly requested item, why not implement it?

That my friend is a very good question. But if you stick around long enough
and browse the other fine suggestions, you will be amazed at how many
excellent ideas are being ignored.

It's the mining cash cow problem. Fdev prolly thinks it a waste to implement since everyone that's played more than a week can afford to just outfit a dedicated ship. They assume everyone mines.
Which leads us to the need for more module storage, and to the there being a better way to organize stored modules, as well as the ability to transfer them directly from locally stored ships.

Just checked, I have 3 cutters. One for combat and two armed miners, one for laser, and one for core/SSD.

Keep the grind alive!
