I'm sure I'm not the only one who's done this (at least I hope I'm not :) ). You dock up to reship, grab a random ship, go to undock, and find that you can't because your ship doesn't meet the current ship fitting requirements.
With all the changes happening to ship fittings, I'd think this is fairly common place. The solution is a little icon in the ship hangar that indicates a ship cannot be undocked or that it doesn't have the proper fitting. It's a small change that'd make life a heck of a lot easier. |

Er, isn't there a pop up when you jump into the ship that it's got illegal modules?
If not, there should be.
It does give you a nice red icon in the fitting window though, and I presume you (like a sensible person) check your fittings before you undock? |

There is a message when you go to undock, not when you jump into it. When you go to get into it would be almost as good as an icon (although slightly slower).
There's no need to check fittings under normal circumstances, that just slows down reshipping time. You have standard fits with standard names and always refill ammo on docking (not on undocking). This way you can react quickly to any situation... Until you end up in a station where you still have an old fit laying around. |

Perhaps it could use some red or yellow skull (like in the overview) to indicate that you might run into problems with the current fitting. Be it changed fitting rules or missing skills, etc. |

Er, if you choose ships at random and then undock without looking at the fit, then I don't think a little icon is going to help. |

Where is any of my comments did I say "at random"
I keep standardized ship fittings and always fit up multiples. I may have 3 identical myrms in station, but I may have overlooked refitting one after the BC changes. There should be an easy way to look at my ship hangar and tell that one of these ships hasn't been refit... or better when I have a hangar of 200 ships, I should be able to skim the list and tell which ones I need to redo the fits on. |

OP, just rename the ship after you refit it. There, job done.  |

No need to take it down... you and I said very different things.
I know the fit on each of my ships based on the name. I select the ship because I want it... You implied I didn't know what my fit was with "at random", I said "a random" implying it could be any ship. It's a nuance of the language, so I'll forgive the misunderstanding.
I think this is a great example of a forum thread that causes people to gripe about forum trolls.
1) It's a beneficial addition for a portion of the player base.
2) There's no detriment to implementing it.
3) There's very little dev time involved in implementing it.
Yet, people want to harp on the idea. If you really want to harp on an idea, go to my Stasis Web thread... at least it's a flawed idea that deserves to have holes poked in it. |

'ships at random' and, 'random ship' are exactly the same thing save for one using the plural 'ships'.
u inferred that he meant u didnt know ur fit, but all he said was that u undocked without checking the fit, which is correct. If u had checked the fit before undocking, u would have seen that it no longer worked and we wouldn't be here.
because ur 'Dense', i'll forgive the misunderstanding. |
