Ship Outfitting is crazy hard !! very disappointed !

I am a designer for a aeronautics company in the UK I have been playing Elite for many years, but this patch has to be the worst design for ship outfitting I have ever seen, you look at your slot see what grade and spec it is, then you have to back out go to a second tab, tab in look for a the correct module unable to see what engineering it is as you have to tab across to find that if it shows up at all, then you have only one choice sell item replaced not store but sell, so you have to replace modules first to a E module then you have to replace it, OMG guys who designed that I thought you would have at least run a alfa or a in-depth beta to fix this, my kids and I will come back when you are ready for launch , crazy , so disappointed, 30 min to try and find right modules for each ship, come on guys really

Same. I lost a heavily engineered module when I tried to swap one from the "new" outfitting screen. There was no option to buy-back sold module (likely because it was engineered) but there was an option to buy-back un-engineered modules. The UI looks so ugly, with those unnecessarily big buttons that draw the eyes hither and yon, hither AND yon. The information screen barely displays any information. You can no longer compare two modules as you install them. Who in the world designed this? Who in the world gave approval for this terrible UI? This new design is has got to go. Bring back the old outfitting UI, please, for the love of all that is holy.

How do you do the outfitting on your aeroplanes then?

to put a module from the repository, you need to enter it, select the module and then select the slot. As before, it is impossible to select a slot in the ship's consumable and select a storage in order to find a suitable module in it.

Sorry, what did you say ?
Oh yeah, also sold a G5 gun because the UI default to "sell old module" and sometimes get back to it even though you select "store". And there is no confirmation, and no buyback when the new module is from storage.

A system that doesn't tell you what engineering on a stored module is is missing vital information, there is roughly 18 mistakes that hinder the use of the new UI that I found in one pass. I listed all of them on the feedback thread, there are probably more. It is not a case of just getting used to new things, I have no problem with 'new things' but what I do have a problem with is an unusable system that is nowhere near fit for purpose and was CLEARLY designed by someone that doesn't do engineered outfitting if they even do play the game. Worse is the person that saw this and signed off on it. Literelly we all universally cursed it in Alpha and they even made some quick changes on that branch that then never made it into release. That means that the branch that we played on in Alpha was more advanced than the trunk that we were told was the more advanced. There is no pretty way to say it. They lied.

Stupid animal not reading the message. I will repeat for the special ones, go into the storage several times in order to put the modules from there - clicking several times and not, as before, in the usual way, I immediately chose a slot and access to the store and storage. If you like the current , then you have not yet understood what it is about.

I sold an engineered module and bought it back. You need to buy it back from the category it would be in normally. There's no explicit buy back option now.

Defo more storage. I've 2 old type 9s chock full of modules of one type or another. 120 is a random old cap. Raise to 200.
Also owning a carrier should allow another 100 capacity.
