To organize my 30 (please give me more) crappy fits, I use a naming system with prefixes and abbreviations with some punctuation to separate weapons and equipment. For example:
1 - CMFA aRR/SMG//NH
Numbers denote the general power (or cost) of the fit with 1 being generally all STD fits all the way to 4's being full proto. I reserve 5's for milita or budget fits.
Capital letters denote commonly known abbreviations of dropsuits, weapons and equipment. In this case this fitting is a Caldari Medium Frame Assault. All of the suits thus far have unique three or four letter combinations, for example, AHFS is Amarr Heavy Frame Sentinel, where AHFC is Amarr Heavy Frame Commando.
Lower case letters denote prefixes. In this example the "a" makes it clear that the weapon on this fit is an Assault Rail Rifle. Other letters work well as modifiers, for example, "m" for milita, "b" for breach, etc.
Single slashes separate weapon from weapon and equipment from equipment. Double slashes separate these two groups. Often I will overlook grenades unless they are integral to the fit, and then they would only be separated from weapons by single slashes. This is mostly because I usually run fluxes on everything anyway, but also because logi fits get a little too long.
Here are a few more examples:
1 - CMFL RR//AS/DU
1 - MMFL CbR//AS/NH/NI
2 - AHF aScR/aSMG
5 - mAHF FG/SMG/AV
...phew..ok...
Now when fittings are to be written down, I use the following relatively self-explanatory system. This is more for sharing a fit with someone or planning out potential fits before having specific dropsuit skills.
1 - CMFA RR/aScP//RE
L Rail Rifle
S Assault Scrambler Pistol
G M-1 Locus Grenades
X Remote Explosives
= Enhanced Shield Extender
= Enhanced Shield Extender
- Basic Cardiac Regulator
- Basic Armor Repairer
It works with pretty much all suits...
1 - GMFL bAR//AS/DU/NI
L Breach Assault Rifle
G Flux Grenades
X Active Scanner
X Drop Uplink
X Nanite Injector
- Enhanced Armor Plates
- Basic Armor Plates
3 - AHFS HMG/aSMG/Flux
S M209 Assault SMG
H Boundless Heavy Machine Gun
G Flux Grenades
= Complex Heavy Damage Modifier
- Basic Armor Plates
- Basic Armor Plates
- Complex Armor Repairer
Naturally I expect my systems to change (or break) as new weapons, equipment and modules enter the game. How do the rest of you guys organize your fits? Or do you at all? I welcome any criticism of my system; I'm sure it has some flaws somewhere. One that I am aware of is that is tend to neglect specific prices, which I am sure is crucial to some people. If anyone has a vehicle fitting system they are encouraged to share.
I am just so tired of talking about tanks tanks tanks....
