> [@Nujenif\_Talvanen](#): > > uhh… practice? Identification takes skill, took me a good while to learn. i change ships often while try to fight on different FW sites – comet/catalyst/catalyst NI/alkos. All modules look same, You dnt know which type of guns on ship now – rails or blasters 'cos modules look absolutely same while loaded.More than that – as i said before you even don’t know which ship you are flying because all that you see are same modules and point in center of tactical view. For exampe: ![ex1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/8/9/c8904e331e70f4316017cb5510e5721698f47f93.jpeg) ![ex2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/2/0/f/20feabeab707ac06733826e4c5210df00f12d14a.jpeg) Comet amd Catalyst NI. Completely different ships. How many differences you can see here? ---

> [@DarkPiper](#): > > Comet amd Catalyst NI. Completely different ships. How many differences you can see here? Your Comet has two guns, four low slots. Your Catalyst Navy Issue has 6 guns, three low slots. The Catalyst also has a lot more capacitor than a frigate. Sure, counting the amount of guns when they’re grouped isn’t easily visible, but you should be able to easily tell the difference between the ships at a glance based on low slots alone, if they’re two fits you often use. If I ever undock one of my remote repairing cruisers, without knowing which of the ships I undocked (lol) I can also easily tell which ship I fly based on modules alone. Shield tank? Caldari/Minmatar Remote capacitor transfers? Caldari/Amarr Four repairers instead of three? T2 Remote cap transfer shield tank with 4 repairers? That’s a Basilisk. Sure, I don’t expect people to recognise all ship fits based on module layout alone. But these are ship fits _you made_, these are _your ships_. If you somehow manage to not look which ship you activate (lol) before you undock it, the it shouldn’t be hard to recognise the module layout. … or just rightclick the capacitor and click info. To me ‘knowing which ship you fly’ sounds like you’re looking for an _excuse_ to have a big picture of your ship on screen. ---

Again, how could you NOT know what ship you’re currently flying? YOU are the one that docked and got into it. That would be like leaving a store, going to the parking lot, and not remembering which vehicle you drove there five minutes ago… ---

Or, you know, simply zoom in on your ship and right back out. Takes 2 seconds… ---

look, you play your game. i play mine, why you trying to convince me that in your game I will be better? For me modules are not enough. Could i ask devs to change somthing for _me_ not for _you_? ---
