selling ships is slow

Nov 28, 2007 mr_spuck link
I guess this is more a suggestion..

I have a pretty large inventory and the game freezes up for a minute or so whenever I sell a ship. The more items on the the ship the longer it takes. I've even had my connection drop because of this.

Looks like it's refreshing the list for each addon on the ship. So 7 times for a fully equipped rag.
Couldn't the refreshing be delayed or something till all items are sold?

edit: oups it's more like half a minute .. I was in powersave mode that time

yeah...
sell your stuff ;)

Actually, i think it's the interface updating that is slow, but i'd need to profile to find out for sure.

It updates at the end of the transaction, but intermediate steps may trigger an update. I'll have to defer intermediate updates. I'll put it on my todo list.

I'm trying to sell my stuff! :P

It's probably the ui ..if I sell from the console while I'm in another tab it's way faster.

This next update should only update the inventory list at the end of the transaction instead of after every addon/cargo is sold.
