So, because I’m not lazy and not unaware of the fact that i need to activate the DCU (not anymore, of course) I’m somehow … what?
Why should the game continuously be changed for those who aren’t cut out for it? If you can’t gather the brain cells to click your DCU, or manage your ammo yourself, then the problem is you.
Making separate bay for different kinds of items does not make it less messier I think. I would suggest cargo bay separator, or a shelf. Like virtual container within same cargo bay. You create a separator, name it, then pull items you want separated above or below.
No change in the way the script is changed (or for ammo type). I was simply referring to the way the ammunition class of cargo is stored in the ship.
There are efforts in the community to try and make it easier and quicker to fit combat ships. Scripts and ammunition tend to be part of a fit, rather than part of “cargo”. Same for boosters, as you will tend to have armour repair booster for an active armour fit, tracking boosters for gun fits, etc.
The separation of the cargo hold shown by Siegfried Tahl is exactly the sort of solution that would appeal to me.
But lookit, this is not a big issue. This is a small issue about how we might change the layout and use of cargo space to clarify where different classes of stuff go, and to improve autofitting. It doesn’t really matter. It’s not an “eve is dying” thread. It’s more of a “I wonder if this small change might be cool” thread.
There are a few emotional and angry contributors on this thread offering personal slights in an effort to become embroiled in snarky arguments. That’s not my thing, and I wish them the best of luck becoming victims of aggression elsewhere.
I actually have no problem with this. I have a standard loadout for my most used ships. I can quickly load or reload them without more than a few clicks. I click my tab ammunition, it removes everything NOT ammo related. I then SHIFT click and drag what I need then type in the amount I want. Done… That is it.
But I am a Minmatar and what do I know about reloading ammo.
Its fine when you only have to worry about ammo. I guess if you do missions you dont need much more stuff in your cargo. Ammo goes separately already. If you do PvP you add what, booster and paste, thats pretty much it.
But going exploring besides the ammo I usually take tags/keys for some certain sites, mobile depot and mods to switch for certain other sites, and they all mix up with the loot. So every time you unload loots you have to pick and choose, ctrl-click etc. I dont really have much trouble having done that for as long as I did. But separators or virtual containers would make it much better and convenient in my opinion.
I like the idea it reminds me the tool we already have to manage drones in dronebay. You could make few groups and manage little helpers by size 9r dmg type etc.
