saved fits...the 200 piece cap of personal fittings is starting to get insufficient, and it forces me to use external tools for no apparent valid reason, EFT ftw. havent gotten to suggest the cap removed in the forums yet, thanks for reminding me.
I have four options I use to get around the fittings cap:
1. Mailing lists. You have a mailing list that you and your alts can subscribe to that have different fits in the welcome mail. You can create many, many mailing lists to cover a wide variety of fits, being as general or as granular as you'd like. The big downside to this is that it can make it pretty obvious who your characters are if you have all of them subscribed to the mailing list. To get around this...
2. Private chat channels. You can set up a private chat channel, whose only operator is your Out-of-corp hauler or other char who doesn't interact with other groups' API's. As with mailing lists, you can set up multiple channels, and as you need fits, you can join that channel, grab the fits you need, and then leave (don't stick around, as I'm not sure if it's possible to see which channels you're in but not the mod of via the API; I know for certain it's possible to see channels you do mod in). If that isn't an option for you, there's always...
3. Have a character or corp whose bios have a variety of fits that you regularly use. These characters / corps should not be associated with your in-corp characters at all, and should be a few degrees removed from actually doing anything related to your known chars. So long as you aren't interacting with them beyond logging them in to update fits or to simply view them (do not add them as contacts), it should be virtually impossible to associate these characters with yourself. If even that isn't an option...
4. Use the in-game note pad. This is, without a doubt, the worst possible choice, simply because you can't use the fits across your different characters. If you only have a single character, that isn't such a big problem, but for many people, that would be a deal-breaker. The in-game notepad provides quite a bit of space to add fits, and with the ability to add folders, you can make things fairly granular.
Anyway, is there anyone (CCP, or one of the CSM, perhaps?) who could clarify about channels in API visibility? Is it possible to see any channel you're in, or can you only see on the API which channels you own or are an operator in? That would make things quite a bit easier for me, at least, and probably others, as well. |
