We are working on a similar idea, make top grade standardized loadouts, all the way to proto, and demonstrate as a progression tree to the player. Preferably using faction fitting styles, similarly as APEX's, but ISK BPC loadouts.

Maybe you missed the part where he said ISK BPC loadouts

Unless you consider paying ISK to be PTW... then no, this plan has nothing PTW about it.

?

FFS its already started with baseline combat frames in the ISK market. They aren't specialist suits(yet). They also aren't aurum prefits and they're fking ISK ONLY.

And they're decent so far.

your attack dog act whenever someone mentions something that might potentially have an aur sale is getting old. Especially when the feature discussed has nothing to do with aur.

Get less poor scrub.

Jecture, I'm going to be nice this one time.Notice that he said ISK, not AUR.

Goes back to an idea I had that I feel fixes a lot of problems: Assembled fittings.

So instead of having a mess of 15 of this module, 82 of that module, 47 of this weapon, you actually "assemble" your own loadouts. Each assembled loadout takes one copy of each item out of your inventory and adds one copy of the full loadout to your fitting screen.

This is a better way to do "restock to" because you can use the same module/weapon on multiple fittings without having to manually restock them to a certain point. Hypothetically you could also make these assembled fittings available to your corp in a corp warehouse someday (you'd have to disallow BPOs from such corp-shared fittings, but I think that goes without saying).
