I’m probably the 50th person, at least, to suggest it. Just have a “Max Skills” optional checkbox in the top of the simulate window.
It shows if a fit is theoretically possible.
It gives new players a direction to train for
Alternatively, to give some synergy with the Certificates system and justify it’s existence, let the player optionally simulate a certifications level [1-5] for the simulated ship.
It irritates me when I make a ship fit and realize my implants are making it possible. Uhg.
Modeling skills AND implants would be the icing on the cake, 100% agree it would be positively received.
Im just asking for the BASICS here of a single checkbox for max skills…
Yes, I like the idea…
It should include a few different checkboxes as well…
Preferably a checkbox for Alpha / Omega skill level, checkbox for implants and a checkbox for boosters… When selected, those are also displayed in the fit link on separate tabs..
That way a player could quickly see just exactly what it takes to make a fit work…

All these features are available in third party tools like Pyfa.
While it could be nice to have such features in the in-game simulator too, I am a fan of keeping the in-game simulator simple and straightforward.
I don’t think this would be a feature that makes the in-game sim too complicated. Pyfa already handles this well, I feel, with the dropdown menu for your character and all skills at V (and 0, which has its uses also). Just make the drop-down default to your character rather than All V like pyfa. Also have a menu that swaps implant sim between your current set, and the implants in the ship’s cargo (which also covers the no implants use case, just leave the cargo bay empty).
And implant affects and environment affects to
