Storing Vehicle Hangars with SRV Ground Vehicles

[Greasetrap42]

Stored hangar modules should indicate what is inside them.

They should indicate Empty, Scarab, or Scorpion. Or any future vehicle. So you know which one to select. Because each one is actually different.
- All the stats for the module look the same. Trying to select the correct one is like playing a shell game.

If you put a hangar (that currently contains an SRV) into storage, when you retrieve it again, does it still contain an SRV?
For some reason I thought they came back empty.

Yes, it does. The same with SLFs in hangars. I have hangars with various models stored on my FC just in case and it's a pain.

Yes, the stored hangar will contain an SRV.

Horizons allows you to install a stored hangar with a scorpion. It even says scorpion and shows a picture of it. But I can't deploy it.

Similar to MLC : I'd like it if the Multi-Limpet controllers told you which limpets were supported - always having to fit a couple to find the one I actually want.

Yep, can we have the old 'let us name modules' suggestion again?

Would also be nice if the cosmetics didn't get unattached when sub-vehicles go into storage too.

No need to name modules. Just show whats inside the storage rack along with the other stats already shown.

make it just like you have done for Horizons where it shows a scorpion.

this has been a pain for ages for SLF's, having hangers in storage and having no idea whats in them.
I put them in ships that name what they contain when I can.
new problem to the srv, now that we finally have a new one

BUT very old for SLF's
3 guardian types plus all the others. nice. never a way to tell them apart till you install them.
then re-apply all the cosmetics.

all srv's and slf's in storage lose their paint, weapon colors, thruster colors.
it would be really nice if this no longer happened too.
we can name ships, if only we could name the contents of hangers and/or name the hangers.
there must be a reason for those vehicle schematics.


For me though, #1 most important change I want to see in an update is the ability to SORT/Filter my ships in EDO.
304 ships is not fun in any way to scroll through and soo much easier and faster to switch to Horizons to select a ship.
that the EDO ship menu shows nothing of each ships capabilities also then makes picking 1 cobra IV out of a cluster of 40 or so identically described ships,
or pick 1 of 25 DBX's , a very aggrevating thing to do.

the menu is insulting to anyone that has ever used a menu in horizons for outfitting or for ship selection.
tbh it's the entire setup. Its like not one person ever considered that we might buy more than 5 ships, and store no more than one module of any type..
Then, the menu's are fine.
