If you are clever you use a coded system that says how each ship is fitted, what ‘version’ of a fitting it has, and so on. For example my ‘X2’ Catalyst is the highest DPS T2 one…the N2 Moa can do 900 DPS… G1iCV4 means has Gauss guns, inertial stabilisers, Cloak, and T2 drones. ![Hangar](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/f/d/c/fdc701a02b6cd4f53c2be9df47570bbcd67be616.jpeg) ---

> [@Zaera\_Keena](#): > > You are broadcasting your ships fit Given that nearly all my Catalysts have now been upgraded to the 850 DPS ‘X2’ version…I don’t have any problem with people knowing it is maxed out. And the Moa has _interchangeable_ fits, as you can very easily swap from Heavy Neutron Blaster to Railguns without changing anything else…the label is simply to designate the default, so there’s no guarantee the fitting actually matches the label 🙂 ---
