Ship loadout tabs

novadenied

Hi all, i'm posting an idea i have for ships that are capable of using cannons as well as beam arrays... Say you want to be a beam boat at the start of a mission and then a cannon boat at another stage in the mission, my idea is that in the ship loadout ui there would be two tabs that you can name and one tab would be the beam loadout, lets say the tab is called BEAMBOAT and you have a bunch of fleet beam arrays and a forward and aft torpedo, along with a different space set and then you decide mid mission you no longer wanna be a beamboat for what ever reason and you bring up you're ship ui and switch to the tab you named CANNON SPAMMER and now you're ship is decked out in high end cannons and yet another space set all with the press of a button. No more moving what you want in the inventory back and forth. I figure its like changing you're outfit so i hope it wouldn't be too hard for the devs to implement it someday, please comment and add to the idea. Thank you for reading.

I'm pretty sure the ''Multiple space/ground gear fittings'' has been up for talks a LOT of times before.
It's not going to happen any time soon I would suspect.

Would like though, to be able to change gear in a instance with a press of a button instead manually change every item, one by one. I would suspect there are reasons for this to be impossible or near it.

One could be that the changes requires too much work for the Devs. That wouldn't make it worth their while, considering they could make another Zen ship instead.
