Regarding Admiralty Ships

Dear Cryptic, since you are already on it by changing the distribution system, can you give us some kind of a "FILL ALL" or autofill button?
a mechanic like we have for the doffs?
it is really a chore to browse and select the right ships for each mission if you have 70 or more ships and multiple toons^^
this would really be a QoL-feature.
Thanks

with so many ships i have no need for taking ignore eng/tac/sci events or +xx from a stat with other ships into account...
e.g. if a mission would need 90/60/90 it would be ok if an autofill mechanic gives me 95/61/93 or similar values^^
KDF have a severe shortage of science ships so I wouldn't want the thing filling up every mission with my Multimission explorers, because their special is ignoring tac, eng, or sci from events, which really helps a lot if used strategically. I do have tons of Tac ships though, so its thus often better to stack up 3 Tac ships to get 150 tac and 70 sci or whatever rather than use a MME.

(Edit:) PS: THANK YOU Cryptic for implementing the auto-claim feature! That is a huge QoL benefit right there.
and the mix/maxer would still be able to get most out of it manually if they want^^
It might look simple, but it's just not so. You're asking the system to calculate for 3 values simultaneously, whilst taking into account the modifiers on those cards. To put it basically so you can get the idea, the programming 'arguments' will be an unmitigated nightmare to program for, even for 'simple' values, and that's before accounting for if you have or don't have the cards. It's far more complicated than the Doffing system which only looks for 'best' rarity and specific doffs.
DOFFing really needed the simplification from auto-fill, you have twice as many assignments to fill, and they have highly variable amounts of slots to fill. It's not that it was challenging, but it was busy work.
There aren't even any filters for ship abilities, such as ignore/ add+ when alone or whatever...
Yea, the autofiller is a needed addition for me, some times... but only because i expected it more to bring in more players/ retent more lvl 60+ ones.
That we actually have to write down 2 different timers for whenever stuffs done (mission completion+ maintenance timer) makes it also more complex to plan it.
I never considered Admiralty rewards game breaking since the dilithium coming in reduces its value on the market anyway....
P.S.: This game sorely needs things to keep players interested since we havent found out how to easily and cheaply program "star treky" missions .... and no , not a rant against the removal of foundry, it was never powerful enough for lets say a sandbox "skyrim" type mission with multiple endings.
There was actually a lady on star trek com doing series episodes revues imo, she seemed to have a grip on that sort of thing.
yes, this would be a great QoL improvement^^
Among the changes that would make things easier would be:
- an "always" open grid of projects and their slots (by each faction) and the ship roster that allowed us to drag and drop into each slot, rather than having to click "select ship" then getting a list of ships to select that closes, then reopening to replace a ship (think something like the traits page where we can just drag and drop and substitute).
- Better ability to sort available ships for use, including a grid, rather than list of ships. Scrolling through the list (which is sorted differently on different alts, but that's a different issue) takes relatively a lot of effort. Among sorting that would make things easier would be ascending and descending by ENG/TAC/SCI points, single use cards, more prominent bonus points, more prominent ignores, most frequently used (I mostly use the same ships unless I'm purposely trying to get rid of single use cards).
- With the change in the Tour of Duty rewards, does it still make sense to make the 10 projects randomly presented? Since you can only do one Tour project per faction per day, wouldn't it make more sense to present that project, then offer additional projects to fill slots randomly? You could setup the 4 Tour projects efficiently, then back fill the remaining 5 available project slots with whatever makes sense from the list by faction.
As for the 'technical' problem of assigning appropriate ships however, this would be easily avoided by simply having a tickbox (or a default setting) of "Assign same ships as last time?". Any ships unavailable would be shown but with a greyed out clock symbol on them, you could then replace those ships individually.
Edit: stupid auto correct.
Thinking of ideas from lots of games for, dunno how long now.
Yes, that would be a significant benefit for me as well. Scrolling past the 1-shots I don't use is a significant chunk of my ship selection time.
