Parts Loadout Window

[edit] Overview

The Parts Loadout screen is opened either from the Base Command - Ship window to select the parts for a ship to build, the Base Command - Pod Pad window to fill an Outfit Pod or the Quick Build window to select the parts for a ship template.

Select a type of ship parts by clicking on the corresponding button (left side of the screen).
Add parts to the ship by clicking on the part (right side of the screen).
The left and right direction arrows move the maximum number of selected parts onto the ship (the middle box), or back into the Bases storage of parts (the box on the right).
When opened from a base, pressing the "O" key will open the Base Command - Parts window to order new parts.

The colour of the parts listed in the box on the right indicates their possible usage on the hull:

Green : The hull can be equipped with these parts.
Yellow : The hull can be equipped with these parts, but the hull shall restrict a characteristic of that part, for example, a displayed yellow 'Shield Part' shall be restricted to the max shielding level for that hull type (i.e. a GS-BFS 3000 Shield on a ship with a max shielding level of 900 shall be restricted to 900 shields) or a displayed yellow 'Engine Part' shall be restricted to the max speed allowed for that hull type (but you could concerve fuel of a larger engine, according to the fuel burn rating of that engine).
Red : The hull cannot be equipped with those parts (the part maybe too heavy for the hull type etc.).
