Feature: Add predefined/custom ammunition,drone,implant groups

[ghost]

These groups will contain predefined set of ammunition,drones,implants which could be added to each fit, this should significantly reduce fitting time, for example ammuntion groups will contain predefined ammo types for specific turret/launcher, for medium autocannon this could be 2000 x hail m, barrage m, emp m, plasma m, fusion m.

I would love this. Loading presets of projectiles and missiles would be huge.

I am not sure I understand what is being requested, except for implant groups which are self explanatory and already noted at #104.

Please walk me through this a little more indepth, including ideas on how it can be achieved UI-wise.

For me, I'd like to set up some ammo packages:

2000 Barrage S
1000 Hail S
1000 Republic Fleet Phased Plasma S
1000 Republic Fleet Fusion S
1000 Republic Fleet EMP S
640 Republic Fleet Depleted Uranium S

Then I could apply it to multiple fits to quickly add that to the cargohold of a fit. Adding that over and over again to new fits is tedious (if I didn't clone one that already had enough ammo).

resinneublem described it very accurately, my idea is to allow user to create his own custom groups/packages for ammunition, drones. Ammunition packages will contain set of selected by user ammo types and their amount, those packages could be saved by contextual right-click menu activated in cargo area + prompt box for new name, adding packages could be done by the same menu. Drone packages could be done by the same method.

I thought of very simple idea that might help with this.

Instead of having to manage a whole set of stuff in the GUI somewhere, what if the user could just right click on either the Drones pane or the Cargo pane background and chose "Edit as Text"?

Then they could use copy/paste for "a group" pretty easily instead of having to search for all the ammo/drones and change the quantities.

Of course they might make a typo, but that could either be silently ignored or raise an error and not allow the user to save.
