Ship loudout preset saving - Quality of Life

[WesULVD]

Ships shouldn´t be easy to reoutfit. It breaks the immersion!

I´d rather go for a timer-solution. Like... when you want a new/used modul installed, it takes time to a) remove the old one and b) fit the new one. They could even make it cost something, because I´m sure those people won´t work for free. How about adding different skill levels for these workers? The faster they do their work, the more you pay?

They could even add a random +/- on the timer for when everything works better/worse than anticipated. Such immersion, much wow, very elite!

I understand what you're saying here but unfortunately not everyone has much play time.

I think it should be in the game. And immersion-wise, if I was on my way from a cargo trip in my T9 and my next plan was taking my Anaconda out, I would ring the station that has it stored and ask it to be fitted and fueled ready to go for when I'd arrive anyway.

I completely agree with this as well. Being able to easily hop between loadouts/configurations would be so nice when you want to take different missions but utilize one ship.

I don´t have much playtime, too. But "the community" was more than happy to come up with a timer for ship transfer because immersion. So why not make the game equally "interesting" for all approved play styles?

100% Agree, this would be fantastic!

I forgot about this thread

Thanks for the support, here's hoping the developers will read it

That would be a nice QOL update... but then my current solution - buy multiple ships to put those different loadouts on - would seem like time wasted?

Yeh, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, but sadly I do not have the luxury of materials to engineer all of those ships, nor credits to buy all these variants, although VO rush is helping with the last part.

Sorry, one of the things I absolutely HATE in this game is how much time I spend outfitting... From searching for modules to moving them back and forth to and from storage, waiting for them to just get somewhere from my last "home" station, I feel like at least a third of my time is spent just doing outfitting.

Being able to send modules or ships to any location from anywhere would be a huge improvement. I have quite a few play styles and a couple of different friends that play in different areas of the game and sometimes I just can't do something because my preferred ship/loadout is too far away and my time is limited. I get so sick of the time wasters.

Great - albeit old and unfortunately not-yet-implemented-who-knows-why suggestion.

I really like the add-on for 'ship my parts to me', though I imagine this would only work (at least initially) if you owned the modules in storage already. Many times I've wished I could easily re-outfit my Beluga Liner or Corvette as I swap mission types or gameplay targets. Especially in the Beluga, I would LOVE an option to 'Ship my VIP Kit to Me' whenever I bore of bulk runs or the mission board I'm working suddenly becomes more VIP due to BGS.
