Denidil Taureran Turalyon 514 20	Posted - 2013.08.14 17:52:00 - [1] - Quote So i discovered the game has a 30 fitting limit, and as a player who likes having a lot of utility this bothers me a lot. I want to be able to have a collection of fits for different things, and I want an effective way of organizing them (other than naming tricks). So I have two proposals Up the cap of number of fits to 250 Allow us to organize fits into folders. I know I personally would have "Frontline", "Sniper", "AV", "Logistics" and "Scout" folders the moment we got this feature.
ALPHA DECRIPTER M.E.R.C. Conventional Forces D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 271	Posted - 2013.08.14 19:42:00 - [2] - Quote In the end I will only have like 7-20 fits so personally I wouldn't need the increased cap but I know that different players require more fits than others due to the way there mind works. I would say 50-90 fits would be a good enough cap. Fitting folders is a nice idea! Would be optional though, right? Currently I would only have "Starter" and "Tactics" but later will add "Logistics" and "Proto". `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.
Denidil Taureran Turalyon 514 20	Posted - 2013.08.14 20:07:00 - [3] - Quote yeah optional - you can define your own. obviously it can come with a predefined "starter fits" folder (that you can delete). I am obviously one of those players that makes loadouts for different situations.

Jadek Menaheim WarRavens League of Infamy 32	Posted - 2013.08.14 23:19:00 - [5] - Quote I fully support the idea. With around 12 million Sp I'm experimenting with different racial suits and gear and this would certainly help as I continue to move laterally with some tactical based load outs.
Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven EoN. 227	Posted - 2013.08.14 23:36:00 - [6] - Quote This would definitely be a cool little feature to add in. Right now I'm having to use my own alphabetical organization system but this would be a simple way to make it more convenient.
Denidil Taureran Turalyon 514 23	Posted - 2013.08.14 23:59:00 - [7] - Quote yeah i use number prefixes.. i think i need to do a re-org again to make it easier to separate gear tier and role.
Talos Alomar Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1411	Posted - 2013.08.15 00:35:00 - [8] - Quote Denidil Taureran wrote: yeah i use number prefixes.. i think i need to do a re-org again to make it easier to separate gear tier and role. That's what I have. I've pretty much invented my own dewey decimal system. I use the first number to sort out the different main weapons the fits would have, the second number denotes the equipment and the last two letters indicate the grenade type. Any special notes come after that, usually what variant of the weapon I am using or if it's all tank no gank. you get the idea. example - 1.1.LC = a scrambler rifle with a scanner and locus grenades 1.1.LC ascr = same as above with an assault SCR 2.2.FX = LR with nanohives and flux nades. 1.L124.AV = a logi with AV nades, scanners hives and uplinks. It's been working just fine for me for the past few months.
ALPHA DECRIPTER M.E.R.C. Conventional Forces D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 271	Posted - 2013.08.15 02:46:00 - [9] - Quote I simply give mine a name that represents the class based on my previous FPS experiences. I also add a letter, number, or "+" before the name to signify the quality of the load out or if I should start build up to the next level. Examples: Z - AV = "Z" is used to keep it at the bottom of the list and represents a starter fit. M - AV = "M" tells me that there is at least one item on the fit that is MLT AND there are no items above STD level. 1 - AV = "1" tells me that all gear is STD or higher. 2 - AV = "2" tells me that I have all the ADV that I can fit, with any other filled slots being STD. "3" would mean Proto. +1 - AV = "+" tells me that all gear is at the needed level or higher. It also means that I need to be focusing my SP on this specific fit. The name (AV) fallowing the honorific would tell me the purpose or play style the fit is meant for. `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.
Denidil Taureran Turalyon 514 24	Posted - 2013.08.15 18:15:00 - [10] - Quote Yeah.. folders would be better to navigate - at minimum they should up the number of fits we can have

Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 523	Posted - 2013.08.16 02:58:00 - [11] - Quote As a logi, it can be rough having so many different fittings for different situations, not to mention having to have cheap fittings, expensive fittings, and everywhere in between. +1 This is something I would love to see. BTW I need somewhere to put all my non logi militia fittings as well.
Denidil Taureran Turalyon 514 24	Posted - 2013.08.16 03:35:00 - [12] - Quote exactly! here is my matrix Gal Logi, Gal Assault Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Swarm Launchers +Elite pack and Merc Pack fittings Roles: Front Line (Logi and Assault variants) Anti-Armor (Logi and Assault variants) Snipe (Logi and Assault variants) Logistics Scout harassment (hacking suits, uplink scouts, etc) multiplied by Adv and Basic (i don't have proto yet)

RINON114 B.S.A.A. General Tso's Alliance 461	Posted - 2013.08.17 16:57:00 - [14] - Quote Agreed. I personally name mine by number then frame. The numver is for the fits I most commonly use: 1 - MLT: RF/AV/NH It's a militia suit with a standard AR (RF means rapid fire), AV grenades and a nanohive. 5 - PRO: RF/LOCUS/CH Proto suit with rapid fire duvolle AR, locus nades and compact hive. Easy :)
John Demonsbane Unorganized Ninja Infantry Tactics 63	Posted - 2013.08.17 17:07:00 - [15] - Quote I don't know if I really need much more than 30 fits, but folders are a total no-brainer
Sardonk Eternia Multnomah Interstellar Holdings Inc. 139	Posted - 2013.08.18 09:36:00 - [16] - Quote Fully agree. As a Gallente logi I have a lot of loadouts with different equipment/weapon configurations, not even counting variations to amount of tank vs speed etc. folders would really really help to access appropriate fittings in the heat of battle.
KEROSIINI-TERO Seraphim Initiative.. 668	Posted - 2013.08.18 10:14:00 - [17] - Quote +1 once more. To help devs weight the need for this, here's some links to previous supporters: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=321373#post321373 https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=551837#post551837
Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon 514 2571	Posted - 2013.08.18 10:16:00 - [18] - Quote +1. I have lots of these, and folders would be nice too. As we're sharing naming conventions, I name mine by frame race, tech level - weapon, grenade, equipment. So my proto gallogi with a scrambler rifle and locus grenade and uplink is GPRO-SCRLU.
KEROSIINI-TERO Seraphim Initiative.. 668	Posted - 2013.08.18 10:21:00 - [19] - Quote An interesting detail: Once CCP PC team (true grit?) was surprised to see that people were using only and only their proto suits in corp battles. Well there's no wonder if we can't have ready fittings for budget options - NO-ONE is gonna delete and redo fittings during battle! These are some examples: - All standard - Cost-effective - Normal Corp Match - De Luxe (officer gear). The low number of fits resonate even into pub matches and are one factor making new player's experience even worse: proto stomps will happen anyways, but there's really no other option. I, for example, am using always proto because there's no room for advanced loadouts. Just can't be bothered into deleting-recreating business.
XxGhazbaranxX Bannana Boat Corp 283	Posted - 2013.08.18 10:22:00 - [20] - Quote definately necessary. As a logi i have many combinations of equipments and weapons to ft my squads needs. having a limit to how many fits i have is a minor bother that i would like ccp fix. also i would love folders becaus it woul be nice to classify and organize my suits.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2142	Posted - 2013.08.27 11:15:00 - [21] - Quote I agree, but it should be with the provision of some sort of organizational system (folders, pages, etc.) so it doesn't get out of hand. I haven't skilled into any suits or any weapons (saving SP since May respec for new content), and I still run out of fittings.

Tal-Rakken DUST University Ivy League 69	Posted - 2013.08.27 15:50:00 - [25] - Quote Dear god this would be perfect I'm usually the first to say get to the basics first but this idea is just pure gold!!! I personally use fl/av/ow to sort my suits(frontline/av/over watch) and then put he isk value and brief description. When I hit my cap I just delete most of my fits and just rebuild the ones I use.
Melchiah ARANeAE the unholy legion of darkstar DARKSTAR ARMY 19	Posted - 2013.08.27 16:54:00 - [26] - Quote This would be tremendously helpful as I run Assault, Logi, Scout and Heavy And I always have multiple fittings of every suit with suitable weapons and equipment. As for naming I go: class - Primary Weapon - equipment. So an assault suit with AR and Nanohive would be ASLT AR NH.
Cross Atu Conspiratus Immortalis Covert Intervention 1651	Posted - 2013.08.27 16:56:00 - [27] - Quote bump of great justice! Just in case anyone is keeping score this feature will continue to become more valuable and needed as the game goes on, new content is added and Mercs gain more SP. Let's get it taken care of before it becomes a hindrance to more of the population.
Flint Beastgood III GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 48	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:14:00 - [28] - Quote Hell yeah! I need this in my life. +1 Scrolling through the list in the heat of battle trying to spawn on an uplink that could be destroyed any moment only to fail because the desired fitting takes too long to get to - so annoying! I am not quite at the limit yet but only because I refuse to make more whilst there is no grouping option. I just alter fittings on the fly when I need a slightly different version of a certain fitting.
Ras Orloc Bloody Palm Militia 0	Posted - 2013.08.27 17:28:00 - [29] - Quote +1
