Just wondering if any work is / will be getting done on the long drawn out, frustrating way in which we currently buy / load / attach enhancements.
The other day i noticed my ead had no enhancements so i found the nearest SY and docked to buy some more.
Enhancements bought i then proceded to load them (only 4 allowed at a time with ead) only to find out i couldnt due to the fact i already had 4 infantry onboard, i then had to spawn, eject inf, redock, load 4 of my chosen enhancements, spawn to fit attachments, dock yet again, load another 4 enhancements, spwan again to fit enh then load the inf i had to eject.
I feel this could be made much more simple to use rather than the current mess ie being able to buy / attach / eject enhancements on the 1 screen without having to get rid of any inf and dock / spawn 23 million times.
Anyone else feel the same?

Being able to manage enh from the garage would be nice but it's not really that big a deal to drop inf on a planet then pick them back up after fitting enh. Yes it's annoying, especially when there's combat going on in the MV and you have to waste time unloading, docking, loading, installing, docking, loading, and installing again, but it only takes a couple minutes and there's other things that are more important for devs to work on.

both you and abbot are right, but, as you said, there are more important thing the devs need to do. sure, this feature is more convenient, and possibly more user friendly, but, again, i'd rather have bugs fixed and more balancing done.

While I definitely agree that it should all be able to be done in the ship selection screen, we do have bigger prioritys at the moment.
And you think doing it for dreads is bad, try putting 8 advanced's on a scout, had to redock a ridicolous amount of times to get them all. Well worth the time though.

What Nec said. If it concerns creds and enh, you should try to make it a smoother experience for the paying gamers. I've put up a suggestion once with Jack about an improved SY/Ship selection screen.
Gameplay or balancing issues isn't always everything. Sometimes the little things matter. Sometimes the little things are the one that players will appreciate more.
Approach the thing from another angle. Don't look at it like a mathematician, with all the figures and charts and tables. Don't look at it like a developer. See the game from a player's perspective.

Naw I wasn't talking abt that.
I was hoping they take a short break from the numbers tweaking and give us all some new eye candy for a change of pace.

I think this should be squeezed in. And release some of those new trail colors.

You are quite right.
Too many engine experts, weapons experts, experts on tactics and many other things.
But few see the player's perspective, it just want plain fun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe this is the problem with the game.
Too experts made the game excessively technically.
All they care about how they use the weapons.
All they care about the shields work.
As the maps affect their interests.
Guys, we have taken the game to a level that only a few will end up enjoying, the rest is going to other places to play.

This is not currently possible without significant work due to the way we store ships/garages.

I dont mind the current system all that much anyway, its just something you have to do once and then enjoy for months. However more garage space would be nice. I know it has already been expanded once, but I really like the option of paying for having even more space. This would also bring in some more cash (something I think is always needed for this game)

Only problem with making it fun for average joe gamer is you will invariably get a few people who figure out how to play the system and end up with huge advantages. Take for an example back when you could freely mod ships and ended up with "best ship" layouts that nobody could touch.
