New tool

Just sharing: the Oceanus release brought some tools to ease exporting/importing ship fits between the game client and third-party programs. The developer post mentioned to tools specifically: EFT (short for "Eve Fitting Tools") and pyfa. EFT has been running on my bootcamp partition since development on EveHQ halted, but I'd never heard of pyfa before. So I tried it.

Awesome!

It has a friendly UI and, thank goodness, is a native Mac application. Now that my characters' skill planning is pretty well set for the near and even long terms, I'm spending more time fiddling with fits and ship hulls; discovering this program came at just the right time.

I've jumped back into Vitality for skill-planning -- there's a pre-alpha out there that fixes some of my interface qualms and, though clearly still plenty buggy, is functional enough.
