I considered it as a few people requested it already. This might be very complex to implement and/or very costly performance-wise, because:
However, I did not look into details, maybe it might be possible with some set of hacks like I used for scram application, battery/caprech effect on cap regen in cap column, etc. Those are very specific and are rather cheap to calculate.
Thanks for reply Dark.
I would not be worried with cost of CPU because when I compare time needed for CPU versus time needed to do this all work manually by user then I can say that CPU cost is nothing.
But the second point - DB session/ORM - yes it can be difficult. I believe so. But maybe if so, then creating a solution with "temporary fit" marked by some "isTemporary=true" attribute can be affordable hack? All fits with this attribute can be deleted automatically when graph is closed/open and manually if graph is still open and fits are removed one by one.
I think when SW is old then hacks are only (economically reasonable) way :-)
FYI it's quite often requested feature, so i started to work on it in ammo_graph
branch. My idea is the following:
Plot with Different Ammo...
menu item, ammo picker dialog is openedSo far I've completed this concept and coded context menu entry, dialog frame and grabbing correct modules/drones/fighters (which turned out to be not so trivial). When I finalize UI and integrate it with graphs code, we will see what kind of performance disaster it will be.
This is how it looks so far:
I am yet to add custom drone/fighter set picker, but this should give understanding of how it will look.
And yeah, no actual calculation support has been added yet, but I think UI is a bigger challenge for me.
I got stuck with making decent UI for drones.
Today I decided to merge the ammo_graph
branch to re-use functionality implemented for it, in another feature related to adding ammo.
I will try to finalize it at some point, but for now it will be disabled.
Feature request
It would be cool if I could compare multiple ammo on current ship and current weapon in graph on "one click".
Expected behavior:
It should be possible to add new series (line) into graph based on selected ammo. Just select an ammo by menu and add series (line) with current fit + selected ammo.
Actual behavior:
If I want compare what the best damage and range is I have to do this: I have to do many copies of the same fit but with different ammo. For example for Executioner with Dual Light Beam Laser II I have to create let say 7 fits with crystals (Mulifrequency S, Imperial Navy Mulifrequency S, Radio S, Glem S, Aurora S, Xray S, Infra S, ...) then I have to drag and drop those fits into graph.
Detailed steps to reproduce:
With this new feature It should be like this:
Possible problems
If selected fit contains more than 1 type of weapon: (for example 4 energy turrets, 2 missile launchers, 1 rocket launcher) then take only one - the primary weapon - (it is weapon where count of the same weapons is highest). This solution is enough make this problem solved - because in practice you want compare only 1 weapon with this tool - the strongest one.
