declined Making the equipment cool-down apply for each slot individually, not the group of equpiment.

So when you change a protection slot, the cool down is put in effect. But not just for that 1 slot, it applies for all of the slots you have. The same thing with hulls. You could change the hull. But then the cool-down also applies for the augament of the hull. I am proposing that the cooldown does not apply to everything, but only the exact thing that was changed. So if you changed 1 protection module, the cooldown would only apply for that 1 slot, and not the other 2 or 3. And if u changed the hull or turret, the cooldwon would only apply for the hull/turret, and not the augament.

I think that this is essential, especially with the cooldown increased to 15 min.

Although I absolutely understand the rationale for this suggestion, there already is a planned update for combo presets in the making, which will change the equipment changing dynamics markedly. Therefore, it does not seem useful propose or discuss further changes to the current system, until we know details of the mechanics of the new one.
