Hm, so as I sit back after a rather long day of doing household shenanigans, I was going to jump on Eve and relax for a bit, you know do some nice mining or something like that. Well that would be nice and all, if I could even access my fittings. Attempt one started with the feeling of "Ugh, I have to condense my 131 fittings into 50. Eh, I need to clean them up anyways." Well after picking out 40 odd fittings that I truly needed to save, I hit OK, then again, and again. Nothing, so I decided to close out the window and try again. Attempt two, three, and four were the same things. So I simply gave up on the subject and decided to come rage on the old forums for a bit, as the New ones are broken. (Much like this fitting feature) Anyways why on earth would CCP want to reduce our fitting possibilities down to 50? Then, limit us with the fun feature of "EXPORT and IMPORT" as our only option to get old fits. I guess if the player base gives CCP enough crap about this subject, they might fix it, might not, but as of this moment my entire fittings window is useless. So CCP, can't you simply: 1 - Add the old local feature back 2 - Simply add a check mark tick, the same as the corp fitting tick, to the fitting window 3 - Shut people up like me? Just my two isk on the problem, now quit reading this and actualy FIX IT!  |

dear roboidiot,
Those fittings are stored server side rather than on your computer, freeing up much space and cpu on your end.
PS if you have 131 fittings you are doing it wrong |

Hm, nice into, really sets the mood for this reply :P Well for one, I would always make newer fits, like new versions of older fits, then test them out. I was never bothered to really clean them up. For two, yeah, thats a MASSIVE 876KB my settings under my TQ cache is taking up lol. Three, free up CPUU? What? P.S. Accidently replied to this on my Alt, fail  |

thankfully only 70 or so of mine were actually in game at the time
but if u go thru my EFT i could easily have over 200
i have troll fits, newbs fits, T2 fits, officer lolz fits, deadspace plausable fits, "how much cargo space does a freighter have again?" fits, and fits made different purposes like PVE, 0.0, WHs, solo PVP, gang PVP |

True that, but half of mine are fail-fits anyways :P. I just want the old way back, Or a working "cloud" type feature for CCP to use, sort've like "steamcloud" from Steam if you will? |

TBH, what the hell is the idea to keep fittings in server? That's a stupidest idea ever. Shouldn't it be a priority to take everything unnecessary off the servers to help with lag etc.? And then they put FITTINGS to the server. Like, what the hell is the idea in that? Why can't they be within the client in the client computer? Seen many stupid things in my internetz life, but this is in top 10.  |

Do you really need access to more than FIFTY different fits at a moment's notice?
I suspect not.
Alt-tabbing out and opening up a fit in EFT takes literally 10 seconds. HTFU. |

I can fly more ships than that. Every single subcap in game..One or two fittings for the most used ships. WAY over 50 individual fittings.. I don't get why they couldn't have made it a hybrid system. Unlimited storage client side and a tickbox for "store serverside". Donesky. |

I have approximately 7 fittings. Of those 7, I use none of them.
I know how to fit ships without looking at EFT, and without having to have a reference. It's a good skill to have :) |

I often look at fits that people post in channels and save them for further investigating, I can also fly every subcap in eve so more than 50 is pretty handy. For some ships like the myrm I've got a dozen different fits for it and most others that I use daily have at least 2 fits. I do use eft but this new feature removes functionality instead of adding it. I shouldn't have to fall back on a 3rd party tool to keep fits. And yes, sometimes I'm in a hurry to fit a ship. |

You could just have your ships already fitted, instead of scrambling to fit a ship. |

131 fittings, really?
I agree we should have unlimited local, but 131 fittings, really?
This kind of throws me back to the skill queue whines when I ponder the days we didn't have one.
131 fittings, really?
edit: I'm calling this one of those edge cases; way way over the edge.

Fully agree, I can fly every T1 SubCap and most Amarrian T2. Considering that I on an average probably have 5 or 6 fits per ship you can imagine that this adds up very quickly. Considering that most probably have at least these fits for most of their ships: PvE Short Range PvE Long Range PvP Short Range PvP Long Range That's 4 fittings per ship that they fly straight off the bat without any extras 50 is definitely not enough fittings. |

Bar a few subcap's in much the same boat, having to slim my fitting's down to 50 was a bad joke. Remembering every ship fit we use and not making market ****-up's when purchasing fitting's is why most of us keep so many shipfits saved. Ease of use. Oh well, :CCP: Looks like we're back to notepads again.. |

Currently my Main can fly All Amarr sub caps (t2-t3 included) except logistics. Most Caldari ships upto the Scorpion. Most Gallente ships upto Battle Cruisers (working towards BS's). She can even fly Minmatar ships upto Cruisers, though watching the rust fly off in warp scares her some. 4 Races, somewhat over 50 different ships available to me, and I have multiple fits for all of them that are dependent on the type of situation I am likely to fly into. However, not trusting CCP to be reasonable. I have each exported and saved on a flash drive as well in EFT. It isn't very difficult to end up with over 50 fits if you fly or can fly over 20 different ships. being able to fly over 50 different ships means what? You guessed it. |

Edited by: Sarmatiko on 11/04/2011 09:09:41I stored about 250 different fittings to answer newbie questions in my language channel. Creating or searching fitting every time when fresh newbie asks for pvp/pve fit of <put your spaceship name here> is really pain in the ass. I can restrict personal fittngs on server to 50 its no problem. But if I want to quick access to my "local" draft fittings, why restrict me? Also importing fitting from newly created xml and unchecking about 200+ checkboxes to choose only one forces me to commit suicide in the most painful way.  |

BWAUAHAHAHA. "freeing up much space and cpu"? Wow, you must be an expert, eh? Files stored on your computer do not consume CPU per se. Fittings don't take much space. (seriously have you ever looked at one of the exported fittings?) This change was for the convenience of the user, not for performance optimization. |

Actually it is a very good idea. Especially since you can switch computers etc. without having to worry that your settings are inaccessable. They are stored on the server, that means that the place where you log in doesn't matter. This is a pretty cool feature. And server load? Lolz, get a clue! |

You sir are talking directly out of your ass. Free up much space? I had 2-4 fittings for every ship in the game and the whole damn thing wasn't larger than 1 MB on my HDD. Also, free up CPU? Are you ****ing ******ed? I love it when ******s call people idiots, it's ironic... |

I love you xD. Yeah I had the same thoughts about that comment as well, I guess it's an impulsive manner that some people have, with jumping to conclusions. I just hope CCP is planning on bringing the old system back. I'm all about efficiency in this game, call me a bean counter, or call me just flat out lazy. It's honestly killing me to not pull up all of my fittings at once. Honestly, I could knock that massive number of trashed fits down to at least 50, that's IF I could, this feature is just broken. |

I think this confirms it... eve server is stored entirely on floppy drives, hence the need for more space. |

i have four or five fittings for my drake. i like being able to just click a butten and throw some modules on instead of finding everything in a rather cluttered hangar.
the reason i have several is for missions. having customized fittings to kill any faction is very nice and ups my effeciency and therfore my isk/hour.
after all, internet spaceships is serious business. |
