When viewing the list of available weapons to place in a weapon mount the currently mounted weapon is only shown in the list if you have another in your cargo.

A typical use-case when browsing the dropdown list of possible weapons to put in a weapon mount is to compare their stats.
If you have only one of the currently mounted weapon, this becomes impossible. (without first dismounting the weapon)

I suggest that the drop-down list should contain:
eligible weapons from your cargo hold + the currently mounted weapon (if any).

Seconded. This is a great suggestion. I say this precisely b/c I do the same thing, haha.

I couldn't find any updates on this after a quick search. Are Alex and the team aware of it? I would hope it's a relatively easy fix.

I dunno if they've seen it. And just because we like it doesn't mean they will, haha.

You CAN mouseover the current weapon and get the info. It's only slightly tedious to have to do that.

Right, yes, I've seen this. I think the mouseover tooltip for the currently mounted weapon helps for the time being (not with the comparison use case, but at least with seeing the stats without un-mounting). There'll be further improvements to the refit UI, though, and this could well be one of them.

Whoooo! Thanks Alex!

Guess it helps to remember that he probably sees everything in the forums even if he doesn't have time to reply.
