I also like the multi fits but many will find the layout confusing.
Suggestion : prefill buy order volume but do not otherwise multiply them. That is If I increase the Number of orders, I increase or decrease the number of units ordered, possibly showing underneath the total required fit
So... I go looking for an oracle loss zkillboard.com/kill/49131350/#
Screenshot of multibuy www.dropbox.com/s/vqfy200yvl7rfrh/Screenshot%202015-09-19%2016.13.33.png?dl=0
Assume I think I want to buy 5 of these fit, and I have in my hanger 10 mega pulse laser II, so only want to buy 30 rather than the 40 shown. No way to do this with the current multi buy screen. I would need work out that I only should buy 3 fits of lasers, then come back and buy 6 more individually.
Instead an alternative layout might be.
As the user increases the number of orders, increase both the number to be purchased and number required for fit.
As the user decreases the number of orders, decrease both the Number to be purchased (to a minimum of zero) and number required for fit.
............................................................................................................... buy count
item ................... Number to be purchased ...............unit value ...............total value
...............................(Number required for fit )
eg from the fit above (prices from singularity)
Medium Hyperspataial velocity optimiser ..... 5 .......................100 ................ 500
..................................................................... (5)
.
.
.
Heat Sink II .................................................15..........................100 ..............1500
.....................................................................(15)
.
.
.
Mega pulse Laser II ...................................40 ..........................100...............4000
....................................................................(40)
Now, the user overwrites the number to be purchased to 30 so that pair of lines becomes
Mega pulse Laser II ...................................30 ..........................100...............3000
....................................................................(40)
Finally the user realises they would spent too much, and really only needs 3 fits after all. Reducing the fits from 5 to 3 reduces mega pulse laser II : number to be purchased and number required for fit by 16
Mega pulse Laser II ...................................14 ..........................100...............3000
....................................................................(24)
Of course some boundary validation is needed in case the user then decides to reduce the number of orders significantly. In keeping with the apparent defaults of the multi buy screen, reducing it to 1 may be suitable.
Alternatively, just overwrite the number to be purchased every time the number of orders change (with or without warning).
And I also endorse adding hulls onto the multi buy from a fitting screen. |
