My proposal would be the ability to select 2 or more items, right click and see their combined weight total either directly on the right click menu or through a weight scale button. This is an immensely useful feature that should have been implemented years ago and is perhaps just an oversight on CCP's behalf but one easily enough remedied.

I'll bump this since I'd like some input.

Can you expand on how this is useful?

Yeah, knowing my weight is useless in space...
Knowing my combined mass, on the other hand, would be most excellent.

I'm not talking about knowing it in space. As it is right now, when you have items in your hanger, unless you move them to a cargo hold, there is no way to see their combined weight. this would allow you to simply select multiple items in your hanger or in any cargo container and see what their combined weight would be.

Do you mean you want to see the combined volume in cubic meters (m^3) ? (ie... how much stuff you can fit into a cargohold of a ship)

Exactly. I would like to be able to select multiple items both in hangers, containers and carp holds, any selection of different items and see their combined weight in (m^3).
There are many situations I can imagine where this would be very useful. It wouldn't be very hard to implement I don't think as its simply a matter of selecting whatever combination of items you choose and have the weight show up in the right click menu.

Let's clarify some terminology.
The weight and mass of cargo is useless and unused information. The game never cares about how much mass your cargo has.
However, the game does care about the volume occupied by your cargo. All cargo sizes and cargo limitations are expressed in cubic meters (m^3), which are units of volume.
Change your proposal to talk about the volume, not the weight or mass, and I'll support it. __________________________________________________ Survivor of Teskanen, fan of John Rourke. |

Updated to reflect volume instead of weight.

I agree. I don't like having to keep an empty station container sitting around to check volume. There should be a way to see the volume of a stack of items as well as multiple stacks. Doing maths is lame, yo (seriously).
This doesn't change the game play at all, so there is no con. It's a very simple feature to add I imagine and there really isn't a reason not to add it.
PS. Adding it in a menu is odd, just display it on hover. So when 1 item/stack is selected, display volume of it; when multiple items are selected, display combined volume.
For hovering:
Giant Secure Container - 3,000 m3
10 - Veldspar - 1 m3
125,042 items - 1,320 m3

Indeed Ancyker, I didn't think of a hover approach to visualization.
I wonder though if that would be a nuisance in the long run to have a volume tool tip pop up every time you hovered over a group of selected items too long.

I'm surprised to not see more support for something so useful, easy to implement and without a downside.
