The Coriolis Shipyard is what ED needs!

[Iskariot]

Like the title says I think the Coriolis Shipyard is incredibly good and design wise it looks like the creators took it out of the game and made a website out it.
Sadly this is not true. In ED we have no outfitting screen that comes even close to this.
I think it makes outfitting your ship so much easier and more digestible and it looks cool too.

I would like to suggest FD have a look at the website.
Of course it can not be implemented one on one in the game, for example we need to be able to see were on a ship certain hard points and modules are located, but it would be wonderful if FD would shamelessly copy some of the design features of the Coriolis Shipyard.

As much as I like ED, there are some areas of its design which really let the side down - and the fitting screen is regrettably one of them.

We could have had something nice: properly laid out menus, clear and articulate stats, inline side-by-side comparisons and visuals showing cutaway images of our ships and modules and how everything fits together.
Instead we have three badly sorted menus (one of which is a mile long), random stats, comparisons buried in the 'buy' pop-up and a single static image that communicates a grand total of nothing.

I know somebody must have worked very hard on it, but the results were and are basically rubbish. Even this thread's home-made website does a better job than what we've got now.

+1, by default, because at least it looks like he's put some effort into it.

Just fool around a bit with the Coriolis Shipyard. It is much more than just "some effort".
It is very well designed and really gives you a grip on outfitting. It is truly very good.

I agree the outfitters and shipyards does need work.
I agree there are certain key bits of information missing from these screens.

I think coriolis.io has a too much detail, so I would not want to see everything ported over.

can we please not get into a lengthy discussion about this again
