[Devblog] Well Fit and Well Loaded...

[QuackBot]

Hi,
I just wanted to write a short dev blog on the changes Team Super Friends (your best friends) have made to saved fittings. Mostly because it's my first day back after a really long summer vacation (and this day mostly gets wasted with reading e-mails, syncing branches, watching the Olympics and other stuff, but also because I thought you guys should know).
We've had some requests from CSM6 and CSM7 to make things nicer for those who have the great job in corporations/alliances to mass-fit ships. The changes we're making should benefit those people in particular but also everybody else.
FIRST THING!
The biggest annoyance appeared to be that rigs in saved fittings aren't fit. To solve that in such a way people don't accidentally fit expensive rigs they didn't want to fit we've added a question asking if you really want to do that. That question is suppressible so if you're confident you'll never make a boo-boo, you can just check that box and never see the question again.
We also decided that if there are already rigs fit on the ship, no rigs will be added or destroyed (you'll get a notification saying why your rigs weren't fit).
SECOND THING!
Giving newbies ships with ammo in their cargos can help everybody. The ship fitting person will be quicker while newbies can see how much ammo they should bring when doing something in their new ship. So we made it so charges in cargo get saved in the fitting, and fit when fitting from said saved fitting. This works for both cap boosters and all kinds of ammo.
There have been some requests on saving Liquid Ozone in cargo too, I'll see if I can do something about it – no promises.
THIRD THING!
If you had a saved fitting with some module or rig you don't have skills to fit, it would just fail silently and not fit anything. We fixed that, so now everything you have skills to fit, gets fit.
Oh! Here's a picture:

Hope these changes will make your lives in New Eden easier, party on!

The relief of a hundred rvb/goon/test etc. directors is palpable.

Should have done this before the AT TBH. Fitting 20 practice talos' was a fucking ballache.

[whispous]

Will not use, I only fly quality hand-fitted ships.

Good dev blog, would read again.

Some very nice changes. Hoping they go live with 1.2.

[Tyrus Tenebros]

Good change.

Now if only I can export eft fittings with ammo...

[Malaes]

Good change.

Never know that might get added with these changes

[Mike deVoid]

It would be nice to edit/create fittings without needing to have the ship all setup in front of you

[Daneel Trevize]

EFT/PyFA import & export? Or do you mean CCP need to implement something similar ingame?

[Marlona Sky]

Something similar in game would be very cool.

[Mike deVoid]

Ingame. But what they've is certainly pretty awesome - the charges in the hold being included just makes things oh so simple.

Now for being able to buy an entire fit in a couple if clicks and we're cooking.

Also getting the cap boosters/ammo fitted to the mods would be cool.

[Lady Spank]

Now I can spend more time losing ships and less time fitting them.

[RoemySchneider]

one of the better devblogs for the past 2 years

as for the obligatory bittervet part: when do we get from the low-hanging-fruit era to the big fixes/redesigns? _{no... buffing T1 frigs for :18months: isnt it}

[Sponk]

when do we get from the low-hanging-fruit era to the big fixes/redesigns?

big fixes take time. They probably started on them after Crucible and haven't finished anything yet.
