ship loadouts

[jellowiggler]

I would like to see ship equipment bundling.

So once i get my kit all sorted out how i like it for given ship, i could assign it as a loadout. I would then be able to name it and then have that equipment flagged in the store as being part of loadout x for ship y. So it wouldnt be deleted by accident, and i have gear configured unto mining set, and explore set and a combat set.

See load outs in The Division for a good implementation.

What do you all think?

I would certainly like to see Load-Outs set up for ships for quick recall. I am not all excited by the artificial protections, but a re-call load-out feature would be nice.

I have four Python loadouts...

And four Pythons.

You'll be surprised how quickly you get to the point where you don't need that feature and just have multiple ships, because I used to think the same as you do.

As an alternative to that, just store the modules at different space ports, something I did for a while, choosing a system with ringed planets to store the miner etc.

Been suggested several times.

I use a specialised ship for each role.

Is there not a limited number of ships one commander can have?

Afaik, there's no maximum number of ships that you can own, but there's a limit to the number you can have at a particular station (about 35, I think).

While my wish for user configure ship configurations and protected equipment store loadout sets still fits, it is mostly mitigated if you can just buy ships to hold whatever loadout you want. It acheives the same 2 goals, in a different way. The only bad thing is that you can't just change the loadout of the ship you are in, you have to transport it to you, or fly to the station it's at.

Very good. Thanks for the education!
