Does anyone else HATE moving gear around for a zerk, its the most frustrating and sometimes not even possible to do so if you dont have tweaks that add hull to your ship! Can we please figure something out to fix this. I hate to have to go back to using just one ship for every situation.


What do you guys think would be a good solution to this problem?

1. Remove the increased hull for equipped items from Combat Focus and increased hull for equipped weapons from Berserker class.

or

2. Scrap the whole "things take up numerical space" concept and adapt a full blown slot based inventory, instead of the partial overflow bag that The SI is doing.

Option 2 doesnt seem like a terrible idea...

New loot overflow feature should make it much better.

Not really. If you would kindly read OP's topic, this topic // complaint has nothing to do with your loot, and everything to do with what is physically bolted down to the ship.

So, your weapons, your shield(s), your energy, your engine, your overloader, etc etc etc. What Berserker goes Weaponless, shieldless, energyless, engineless, and overloaderless anyways? Not even an aura Dread zerk does that.

The quick and dirty solution (the most probable based on devmin choices) is to replace the extra hull from equipped items and weapons with an additional flat hull bonus, like what you find with Recon, Fleet, and Support Focus.

The better solution is to scrap "item size" altogether and go for a slot system, using hard and soft stats to discourage certain hulls (such as Light Fighters) from using items you don't want them to use, like that big ole laser that's 1200 size currently. I have yet to see an MMORPG that actually uses a physical size system for equipped items anyways. Even Eve uses a slot system, though they use an item size system for things sitting in the cargo hold collecting dust. There's probably a reason only one MMORPG uses a physical size system for equipped items.

A slot system would be a downgrade. We already have a slot system in addition to a size system. Reworking the system to only have slots would:
1. Be a ton of work(never gonna happen)
2. Remove existing tradeoffs, thus hurting balance and forcing more development effort on a problem that isn't due to a design issue.
3. Not fix any real problem, because it would be better if some inventory space was always separate from space used for equips, rather than removing a core game mechanic just to fix a problem that comes from bad balancing.

Not for gearing up in the beginning.

BUT

It would be cool if we had transfer+equip as an option, that would work as long as the ship wouldn't be overflowing afterwards.

Endgame weapons tend to be large and zerkers usually want a full set of solar panels.

Also people tend not to use hull space augmenters cause reasons.

One of my zerks has >25 weapons equipped. To fully gear him out, I have to equip weapons starting from the largest scaling down to the smallest, and then do each piece of gear in the same order. Super annoying to do each time. It's actually one of the main reasons I haven't upgraded that zerk for time. Don't want to have to regear him. Lol.

Whats especially annoying is when you have multiple different ships for certain situations, so you constantly have to be moving the huge gear from ship to ship.
