DUST Search - Is there a reasoning behind our inability to name our APEX suits?

Kaze Eyrou wrote:

The following post was the original post I made. I contacted CCP Rattati about this on twitter and was informed that due to the suit's nature of being unmodifiable, the suit could not be renamed on the fitting screen.

However, I still hold out hope that CCP might manage to separate the renaming of a suit from locking the modules down on the suit. Iron Wolf Saber mentioned a while ago that CCP wasn't able to give Nanite Injectors differing levels of WP due to a coding issue (I think?), but look where we are now!

Anyways, there has been more support for this and as such, I'm bringing this back up to show continued support for this idea as well as highlighting other threads people have made supporting this idea.

Here's my original post:

I just got one (the Federation 'Serpernt' Scout) just recently, however, I'm really gunning for the Republic 'Shaman' Logistics suit.

However, once I got it, I found that I was unable to edit, restock, or rename the fits. Those options are grayed out.

Why? I understand the inability to edit, however, this was fixed as you enter the "edit" screen anyways making the fit. Recent hotfix makes it so the suit does not accept any changes made to it so I would assume even if we were to enter the "edit" screen again, we would still be unable to make changes. On top of that, some of us would like to look at individual modules without making the fit over and over and over again.

Restock I fully understand, although it could throw the same error when you try to restock the starter suits. (Actually, I'm going to have to double-check if you can again, it's been so long.)

Rename? Really? I can't organize them and call it something special other than something that the generic name it gives me? I just don't understand this one at all.

TL;DR: Allow us to rename our AUR or LP APEX suits.

If your thread wasn't listed, post a reply with a link to it and I'll add it here.

EDIT: fixed links.

I feel like we got a little closer though... CB Vet // Logi Bro // @KazeEyrou Kaze's Helpful Links

You can kinda rename apex suits, it's not a perfect solution but it enables you to order your fits. Try to rename and choose the name that you want, then make a copy of that suit - the copy will have your new name but with copy at the end.

That's so strange, I have had my APEX min logi LP suit favourited since I got it a while ago. At first it used to deselect all the time but I have come back and it is always there to greet me on login and has stayed selected as favourite.

When Warlords hit, the option to favorite the fit became greyed out. If you had already favorited it before Warlords, it stays as your favorite until you change your favorite suit.
