Hey Guys,

I added a transfer all button to the right click menu on inventories. Right now it transfers up to 100 items to another ship (the first 100, no matter if equipped or not). We were wondering if this was the most useful thing or if it should only transfer non-equipped stuff or have 1 for each or what? I could see the use of non-equipped transfer since it could be used for both storage->storage and loot->storage for the most part (drones and tweaks would go with :/). If you guys let me know what you think would be best, or if i should add 2 buttons or what, I could finish the implementation. I wanted to ask before making server changes (right now my implementation is purely client side which could cause lag) so we get it right the first time.

Sweeeet...
Definately transfer all unequipped. Maybe an extra "transfer all augs", because I find that takes the most time.

Oh and while you are on the roll, can you take a look at this:

all unequipped, because if there are things equipped, it cant be that many (compared to whats ueequipped on a storage ship)

we can just unequip it anyway, 1337

Yeh, the more i thought about it the more likely it seemed that people would prefer all unequipped. Would it be more or less useful to ignore tweaks in this?

Nice..!

I agree with "transfer all unequipped, ignoring tweaks". Any adjustments (like looted tweaks) would be easy enough to do manually after transferring everything else.


If you're still in the mood for modifications, how about an "Unequip All" button..?

Ignore drones as well please...should be self explanatory. Or implement that lockdown feature in sugg forum to be able to lock stuff not only to your base, but your ships as well. If the item is locked, the next time you right click on that same item, 'unlock' would be in it's place.

Yeah, just ignore Equipped/Drones/Tweaks. Maybe make a separate one for augs, not sure. Great work : )

i would like to see a little menu come up asking what type of stuff to move. so, i could click transfer all -> augs. or have the option of transfer all items, weapons, comods, and such. this would make it much easier to sort my storage.

This might be the best solution, what do you guys think about that?

I think its awsom i would like to be able to move all my augs,sheild + energy to seprate places.

agreed

I like both the transfer all unequiped, and the menu idea both. Just like there's currently a sell all/sell some, transfer all/some menu item already.

That said, if I had to pick one, the menu would win.

and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

been wanting this every uni for years now.

the first 100? why cant you make it so we can hold CTRL and select all the items we want to transfer instead of just doing the first 100

Right now, like i said, it was all done client side so the implementation would not be good for more then 100 items. (you have to send 1 packet per item currently). Doing multiple items, or all, will require server side changes which i was trying to avoid, but since i saw that doing it the client only way would be too slow/taxing for the server i decided that we might as well do server changes, since they'll be necessary. I'll look into the ctrl-click but for now im thinking either a menu, or Transfer All Type button. << New idea there i just had, i think that makes it less bloated and easy to use. What do you guys think? It would transfer all the items in your hull that are unequipped and of the same "type" as that item.

Tweaks tractors and commods maybe... cause getting rid of your fuel might suck and tractors don't exactly drop as loot, so if you have more then means you have them for swapping.

Read my last suggestion. Here's a synopsis:

Right click on commod, transfer type> ship means you transfer all of that type (all commods) to the other ship. And you can do this for any type of item, so it will take a few clicks to get everything off, but thats still a lot less then usual.
