Next step: Ship specific DOffs

My number one wish is to have different DOffs assigned to each of my ships, without having to go swap them out each time I change my ship.

Until recently, I've relied on a fairly generic set of DOffs so that I don't have to swap them when I swap ships. I am now starting to upgrade some of my DOff setups to work specifically with particular ships. Needless to say, it is a real hassle to remember setups for 6 x toons x multiple ships, and to remember to make the changes.

Cryptic has been able to let us seat different BOs for each ship, as well as making each ship's toolbar and HUD sticky for that ship. No swapping BOs, resetting the tool trays, or rearranging the HUD whenever I switch ships. Not having to swap DOffs is the next logical step. Hope you agree.

    It could be nice, but messy. Consider: Let us suppose that, like you were previously doing, we are using a generic set of doffs that works for all the ships we fly.

    Now they become ship specific. If I have 3 different ships, do I now need 3x the number of doffs as before, or else I incur a new annoyance of having to swap the doffs? This isn't an improvement.

    More issues: When doffs are assigned to the active roster, they actually REMOVED from your inactive roster of doffs, and you can then fill the roster with an additional 10 doffs. What happens if I disband the ship? Where do my doffs go? Are they lost like equipment? Do they return to my roster? What if my roster is full?

    These "problems" exist with any item that is slotted and takes up limited space when not.

    Do you only have one set of weapons that you share among all your ships?
