i was thinking another option for a high slot module.
this module would be something like this
Name: Automated ammo loader power 1mw CPU : 15
Automatically loads selected ammo type into all weapons.
so basically you click it like you would for ammo swapping ect, rightclick load antimater large. and it loads AM into hybrid guns

Forget what all the trolls say; this should be a standard feature. They could even make it a context menu from the little overload rack button next to each rack. When I see a target and decide to switch my ammo to the appropriate damage type it is error prone and takes extra time to go through each weapon switching the ammo. On multiple occasions when trying to do this as fast as possible, I have mistakenly loaded the wrong ammo type in one of my guns/launchers. Implementation wise this could be a problem because some ships fit different weapon types and this would only work if all your highs used the same weapon type. Maybe there could be a way to link each weapon to the rack control when fitting your ship or something

Another suggestion would be to add this to the right-click menu of the module. The context menu already has the option to switch ammo for each individual module and it already dynamically lists which compatible ammo we have available in the cargo hold.
It would be nice if the context menu adds the option to "Load X ammo to all compatible modules".
For example, if I right-click on my missile launcher, I would have these options (I omitted some options to save time): *Wrath Cruise Missiles *Paradise Cruise Missiles *Wrath Cruise Missiles > All Cruise Launchers *Paradise Cruise Missiles > All Cruise Launchers
The CTRL+R already gives us the ability to reload all weapons simultaneously, but only with the same ammo that it they are currently using. The new option may just need to replicate that code except it will be using a different ammo based on your selection.
It seems easy to code up front, but being a programmer myself, I know that the coding part is not always as easy as just writing up how it should work.

why not make a button to do pvp in... i mean i press a button and my ship will target.. web scram... tank shoot the enemy and after that it repeats all of that.
or do missions for you while you sleep :P
yes it would be nice... but i like the way it is atm ---------------------------------- Seems that there's a new game that seems to be very popular whit whiners these days. Its called EFT Online.

This will just make my list of ammo choice even more messy. What about if you hold CTRL when clicking an ammo from the right click menu, it will auto-load that ammo type in all your launcher tubes?

If you're going to exaggerate at least try to stay on subject. Nobody is asking for the game to play itself or anything close to that.
Did you like it back when you had to reload each and every gun manually, too? Do you like such simple functions to be complicated? Or are you confusing "liking" something to simply being content with it?
Anyway. Waiting for a context menu on every single gun is a burden that adds nothing to the game but annoyance. Combat should be about fighting the enemy, not fighting the UI.

These things are one of the reasons I loved the moddability of WoW's UI. If only we could somehow change the interface ourselves... It would improve the game in so many ways. --- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs |

I do not think that CCP is doing anything with regards to keyboard short cuts. It is something to do with reducing macro programs.
It would be really nice if you can group guns with a short cut. Like if you have 8 high slots and you have ammo for long range in 1-4 and ammo loaded for short 5-8 and have a short cut to activate all of them on a desired target. -------------------------------- One day the lag will get us all. |

Gotta be careful with the G15 though, if you fit a remote rep on the high slot and forget to reprogram the G15 to exclude your remote reps... CONCORD might have something to say about that.

Haha tell me about it, and slight problems sometimes programming macro's for ALT and CTRL binds, but apart from that, it works rather well. Now i just have to finish programming my display and ill be happy.

Ability to organise guns in groups (like drones). Instead of clicking all guns to activate, click a button that fires group 1. Rightclick -> load ammo x in all guns in this group. Problem solved. ------------------------- When EvE Online meets Real Life

or you could do it the easy way and have the "reload all" option on the right click menu acctually reaload all guns with the ammo in the gun you just right clicked on. not so good for split weapon systems but hey just make it affect each weapon type and then it still only has to be done twice

Actually if I recall it right, that feature was already available on Sisi before the Trinity Patch hit TQ, no?
Nevertheless it should be a damn standard feature, agreed.
