It may be confusing for another developer to understand because of how poorly the original dev team created this game. Take the Caldari medium frame for example. It is used for many different suits.
Militia Caldari Medium Frame
Caldari Medium Frame C-1
Caldari Medium Frame C/1-Series
Caldari Medium Frame ck.0
Caldari Assault C-1
Caldari Assault C/1-Series
Caldari Assault ck.0
'Neo' Caldari Assault C-1
'Neo' Caldari Assault C/1-Series
'Neo' Caldari Assault ck.0
State Caldari Assault C-1
State Caldari Assault C/1-Series
State Caldari Assault ck.0
Caldari Logistics C-1
Caldari Logistics C/1-Series
Caldari Logistics ck.0
'Neo' Caldari Logistics C-1
'Neo' Caldari Logistics C/1-Series
'Neo' Caldari Logistics ck.0
State Caldari Logistics C-1
State Caldari Logistics C/1-Series
State Caldari Logistics ck.0
Plus many BPO'S
That's over 22 different suits. Now logically you'd think they all use the same asset and should only have to go into the memory once, right? But nope, the original developers were so incompetent that all the suit details and animations need to be loaded over 22 times. With the powercore we work with known capabilites and reduce it down to just three (Basic, Assault , Logistics) given that slot modification is not a known capability.
Also is lie if I said part of it wasn't to Trojan horse tiericide into the game.

G Clone, I'm not "just moving tiers from suits to powercores." This proposal removes slot progression all together. That is the main aspect of tiericide all the supporters wanted.
Also I'm not a tech guy and I'm not sure which type of memory is being eaten up, and I'm not going to dig for Rattati's old posts explaining the problem, but clearly cutting down the number of suits is a good guess at improving performance and Rattati, who has a lot more information than me, seems to agree.

Why do you get off on failure? I'll never understand people like you.
