ummm.. 30 is to much imo

stop clogging up all the memory!

who the hell really needs to have instant access every game to 30 different suits o.0

at most I could see maybe 5-6 different suits being used in a single game , or someone is just doing a lot of testing..

I have a total of 9 fittings , and only really use about 5 of them regularly

You probably aren't a logi...

So I have my basic 'support' fits with MD, about 500 eHP and then my Equipment

To give you an idea of how much variety your equipment slots can have...

I have one suit with 3x healing hives I use in domination to completely cover an area with heals for the points. I have a similar suit for resupply hives and uplinks. Then I have glass cannon AV fits with proto SL and PC. Next I have 'frontline' support fits with assault SR with hive/repair/injector or nanohive/injector/uplink depending on the kind of squad I'm running with. Also I have a suit of combat fits with repair hives and scanners that are more for running solo/smaller squads when blue dots aren't doing so hot.

Then there are the other specialized stuff just for experimentation or specialized purposes, like my mining fit I use to get 9 proximity mines down in a central location for a nearly guaranteed 3-4 kills a game.

On top of all this I'm an amarr logi, which means I also have the ability to also focus on being a semi-slayer, so I have some fittings that spend less PG/CPU on equipment and more on tank/DPS. Lately though in my support fittings I've swapped in the complete opposite direction and gone with dual pistol setups to save fitting space and it has worked out well enough.

Beren Hurin The Vanguardians 1029	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:13:00 - [1] - Quote Who is finding this to be too small? I can imagine that the maximum number of possible fits needed will only increase as people can use more stuff. I have started out as an amarr logi, and even if I were to keep my main tank/weapon combo, I have a tendency to permutate a lot of the options in my equipment slots. If I go solo, I have equipment I can try and deploy a lot of to get points. I have cheap and medium priced versions of stuff. I have medium and long range versions. I've started to mess around with commando fits. I also have tried to see if the medium basic suits are worth much, not to mention having 6-7 BPO dropsuits that I really don't use enough. So with this you can see how quickly I and others can get to the 30 fittings. Realistically I may play with 5-6 in any game, but what I use in a vehicle friendly map is different than a CQC map, or a fortification/domination map, especially as a logi. So what if we could get folders? I wouldn't even be opposed to spending a bit of aurum to get some extra fitting spaces.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 918	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:23:00 - [3] - Quote My old and feeble brain has trouble filtering 30 fits anyway. I try to keep less than 10 so I stop switching to the wrong one in the heat of battle. However, I can't see how database space can be that much of an issue. I don't see why they can't offer more. Folders would be nice so I can keep limited edition fits around but away from the ones I use in battle.
Knight Soiaire Better Hide R Die 1667	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:23:00 - [4] - Quote I have loads, because I have SP into almost every weapon (Excluding Heavy weapons, and Swarms) so I reach the cap a lot, then I have to start making sacrifices.

My roles are, attack (gank), combat (survivability), supply (nanohives + uplinks), logisitics (nanohives + repair), support (lethality+hives/repair), defense (longer range + survivability). I use one or two letters for the equipment I'm using and can fit most of my fit on one line.

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 61	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:36:00 - [8] - Quote Yea I ran out too. But I had cheap and expensive fits for AR, MD, PC, all with AP and AV variants. Plus some for sniping and other niche roles. What I would like to see is the ability to collapse or expand fits based on the suit used. Sorting with 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b works but still leaves a lot to be desired.
Beren Hurin The Vanguardians 1031	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:40:00 - [9] - Quote Honestly at this point, I don't know why we necessarily have to stock stuff as long as we have the isk. Why couldn't the game just auto-charge us whenever we take out a suit to use? A lot of the slowness of stuff is because of how all of the restocking has to be calculated. I feel like that could be refined a few different ways.
Skihids Bullet Cluster 1828	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:46:00 - [10] - Quote Logis are hit particularly hard by this limitation with all the permutations of equipment we have to carry, and it's only going to get worse as new items are introduced. I'm managing to get by now because I don't have any proto suits, but I'm sure I I'll feel the pain in a few months.

Fox Gaden DUST University Ivy League 795	Posted - 2013.08.08 14:48:00 - [11] - Quote I had to delete my starter fits to make room for more.

Taeryn Frost Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 32	Posted - 2013.08.08 15:03:00 - [13] - Quote I too keep it minimal with 7 fits, granted I don't have enough SP to dabble into as much as I'd like. I can imagine some of your loadout screens look like iron man's armor vault.
Oso Peresoso RisingSuns 567	Posted - 2013.08.08 15:05:00 - [14] - Quote plus need 3 versions for each grenade.... plus variations for equipment...
Luk Manag of Terror 66	Posted - 2013.08.08 15:13:00 - [15] - Quote I have been stuck at 30 for a while. Advanced and Prototypes of several setups (AR, Swarm, Tactical AR, Sniper, and Tactical Sniper), with duplicates for AV grenades, and duplicates with nano-hives or nanite injectors. I ask if anyone would want ammo before I spawn back in and pick suits accordingly. Add that to a selection of other setups - like milita forge, free setups, and scouts for the start of a skirmish match, and 30 feels constrained. It was much less of a problem when the assault suits could fit two equipment slots.

Buddha Brown Factory Fresh 231	Posted - 2013.08.08 15:15:00 - [17] - Quote Folders sound like a really nice feature, but shouldn't be required to use them obviously. I only have 6-8 fits with only slight variations for nades, STD/ADV/PROTO, etc. but I still agree that it would be a cool feature to have available to sort suits, roles and whatnot

Here's a guy who sticks to his guns and excels at it. to the OP I do get that problem but raising the limit wouldn't really be a solution. take a step back and delete those that you use the least. It's NOT easy cause in the heat of battle you're not minding how many times you use fitting "Tank Hunter Pro+" but where is that pesky madrugar hiding?? This is coming from someone who gets that "maximum fits reached" message but I could tell from all this time playing that the ones I couldn't come to delete were: Fitting with: DropUplinks Repair Tool Nanite Injector Swarms [Tank Hunter mentioned before] AV nades That's 5 and if you got the Sever or Dren Logistics suit it's 3 too many.

The price helps me know the level of fitted gear.

mini rehak The Southern Legion 47	Posted - 2013.08.08 17:15:00 - [25] - Quote Yeah 30 is WAY too low for anyone skilled into more than 2 weapons. I have 4 weapons to proto, sentinel proto and gal. medium to adv.I like to have fits with every suit/gun and I had to get rid of some useless fits (breach ar/assault hmg) just to make some room for my gal fits.
Beren Hurin The Vanguardians 1039	Posted - 2013.08.08 17:17:00 - [26] - Quote So looking at some of the posters on here, it seems the be the handful, that limit themselves to REALLY specialized skill distributions/fits that complain the loudest about not being able to handle certain weapons. I think this shows the significance of a diversity of sp investments.

I do something similar, for example Mk01 Logi $$$$ Ni/Rt/Na = Expensive Logi fitting with Nanite Injector, Repair Tool and Nanohive Ammo I've got all 30 slots used in this way, with varying price levels and combinations of equipment, and am reasonably able to pick the right one during battle. I label them from Mk01 - Mk30, to arrange them in a logical order, and because it makes me feel like Iron Man with all my different variations of armor.

Sorry, your wrong right from the start about me.. I am a logi first and foremost , I have gal pro logi with pro fittings. I also have 3 proto weapons.
