Hell hath no fury like a CNR pilot cicking 'reload all' on the last launcher instead of 'unload to cargo'.
This change might even draw me back to my Amarrian roots if changing crystals becomes less of a chore. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

Is the server going to treat the weapons as one weapon or is this only a client-side effect? I know this would decrease lag significantly but how would it affect the tracking and damage calculations?
Good question!
But does it have a good answer? Tune in next week for the next exciting episode of EVE Online.

This feature allows players to group weapons together into one slot. From there you can swap all ammo at once without doing the current ritual of right-click gun 1, load ammo, right-click gun 2, load ammo again etc....
However, please keep in mind this is far from being final at the time being as we are still working on it. More details will be provided in an upcoming Dev Blog.
I love you |

This thread is so much more worth 40+ pages of praise, than the 40+ pages of cheeze and w(h)ine.
Awsomeness CCP, hope you can get this together without breaking the server.

Beyond the ammo bugs which im sure will get resolved prior to implimentation has anybody been able to confirm if the weaponry calculations have been optimised for grouped weapons?
Ie 1 calculation only with a multiplier for the amount of weapons in the group instead of seperate calcs per weapon.
This i hope should be apparent if your recording the combat logs. ie less entries with way more damage. or new descriptions for grouped weapons.
Also what happens with crystal damage over time and loading multiple crystals with different damage? The only way i could see it working is if loading crystals means the value of the worse crystal is applied to all crystals in the group and damage over time is applied to all crystals evenly. Any other way opens an exploit of players loading very damaged crystals with new crystals in order to "repair" them.

I just had an interesting experience with a Hurricane and weapon grouping (F1 = 6 x 220mm and F2 = 2 x HML). The HMLs didn't do any damage what so ever with no entries showing up in the log. The ACs worked as intended though causing targets to explosions. If you get heat damage and decide to split the guns apart you can't regroup them again without repairing them first.
Oh and I love only having F1-F2 to press instead of F1-F8.

I've been waiting for this for a long time.
My only concern with weapon grouping is monitoring heat damage if the UI clumps linked weapons to 1 module slot.

Actually, right now the test server is forgetting to do tracking, or so I hear. So long as you can get a target lock, you have 100% chance to hit with a turret. But 0% chance to hit with missiles.

I've seen a number of people implying that this is a buff to Amarr. How will this affect Amarr any better than anyone else? Everyone will benefit from the improved ability to Alpha strike with all weapons. Surely everyone would appreciate the increased speed of reload.
How would Amarr fare better then ... Caldari, for example.

WEll, to explain a bit further, laser crystals only take a second or so to load a new ammo type in, while all other ammos take 10 seconds. So this will enable an Amarr ship using lasers to change their ammo types mid-fight to gain a tactical advantage (IE, if they currently have multi-frequencies loaded, but the enemy is staying out of range, they can swap out for a longer range crystal instantly)

Ok, I get it now. I've just started using lasers, and I can see how that would be nice. But it's not like you have to wait 10 seconds for your ammo to change. You also don't need to reload, unless you crack a crystal or want to change range. Not even like you can really change your damage type.
Personally, I think this will help Caldari even more. Fit a rainbow of missiles, find out which one did the most damage and quick reload them all to that type.

I would assume that you could link mining lasers, if not that is ccp being lazy.

Groups can't fit Rainbows.
All one ammo type ONLY.

Also, your weapons must be empty (ie, no ammo loaded in them) in order to link them together, THEN you load them all with one ammo type.
