Hi everybody,
first, I want to thank you all for the stuff you're doing here, great place to look for API documentations.
I started to build a small Android App on one of the last weekends which should allow you to switch between different loadouts on the fly. Got the login working after a while and I'm also already able to fetch and display the current inventory.
Then I started to use the EquipItem endpoint to switch between my 2 Hunter subclasses which worked pretty well. I was really happy about my progress until I started doing patrol on Earth to give it a try there, just to get an error while equipping which told me that you have to be either signed out or be in Orbit/Tower to equip items. (my Hunter was sitting around at the Tower when I implemented/tested it previously)
While it makes sense to disable equipping items via the API in PvP (as this could be seen as cheating), it should be allowed in all other Activities.
What do you guys think about this?
PS: Another point is that I'm missing an endpoint to switch activated perks of each item. Could make the app so much more powerful
Thanks

It is deliberately limited to not being in an activity to avoid certain side effects of doing it while you're actually playing the game (this includes the Tower).
