i don't know about other people here, but i often find that the long list of components to install/ are installed is a bit long to pick through...

so i propose that dan divide up the sections a bit further to allow people to find exactly what they are looking for a bit easier....


ex:
energy: you have relays you have generators and you have special components currently they all show up together when you are trying to look at/ modify your ships config.

it would be better in my mind that if under the energy tab is had 3 more tabs that popped up and were labeled like relays, generators, and devices ( special parts)


its not just the energy tabe that can benefit from this weapons have both standard cannons and special devices, defenses have thrusters dampeners and special parts...

and my least favorite devices tab its is just a cluttered mess when you have all the translaters and engines and transponders all obscuring the standard cloak and scanners you cna install...

this concept if applied could make the user interface of the ships configuration easier to manage by departmentalizing components and classifying them better....


if this has been suggested before i am sorry i didn't know...

It has been suggested before in different ways. Personally, I'd be happy if the tab you're working in would stay where you are instead of jumping back to the first page every time you click something. Very bothersome when you have 7 weapons and 4 relays to install/uninstall when you rank up.

I'd like it if you could filter your modules like you can filter artifacts, and if like Darth said, the page stayed where you were. So like, go to your energy modules and type 'Hyper' in the box and all you see is your Hyperchannels for easy removal. Then go to weapons and type 'bal' to get your ballistae, and so on. Much easier.

I agree, I'm at 28 clicks to uninstall these 7 items and that will get worse as I get more weapon modules.

Changing the names of them would help by a lot and would require no coding change.

FWIW, I believe it is 36 clicks if you have all weapon modules installed to uninstall those 7 modules and another 36 (or more if they need repair) to reinstall them.
