Saving ship traits

knightnblu

We have power tray load outs, stations, duty officers, and equipment slots that are saved to each ship. Why didn't Cryptic include the ship traits? With the new traits, it has become increasingly important to customize these to the specific ship as well. Where a general set up was good enough, the new traits make that type of setup obsolete.

I first noticed this when I set up my Steamrunner with cannons. Usually, I run beams and so I swapped the beam trait with the cannon and saved the profile. When I transferred to another ship, the beam trait didn't follow. And before I get the inevitable "But all you got to do is remember to swap traits" blah, blah, I'm old and I don't always remember and frankly, neither will you.

So let's fix this before it becomes even more of a problem as the traits system continues to evolve.

If you have enough energy to change ships, then you have enough energy to reload your traits (if you can't remember them, you should right them down). It may feel oh so inconvenient, but it is resolved with the pressing of a few toggles, it is not an event grind.

The first time they implemented any sort of build saving / template saving capability, we had months and months of awful bugs of our ability trays randomly clearing out when changing zones, instances. I would have a build in place, then pop into a queued instance, then BAM! My entire ability trays are empty and reloaded the "good" build didn't fix it. So I'd be embarassed sitting there trying to quickly set my ship up while the rest of the team fights the instance with -1 player until I get my TRIBBLE together.

I do not want a repeat of that awful fiasco.
