It has been proven that having a longer list of fittings can reduce your performance in battle. Some players delete fittings before PC's to get that slight performance boost.

That means the game 'loads' all your fittings in some form during battle.

My proposal : Instead of one giant list of fittings, allow the player to customize smaller lists of specific suits.

Example: Say you have 3 fits for PC. You could choose your 'PC list' before going into PC, and the game would only be loading your list of 3 PC fits, improving your performance, also being more organized in case your fittings are all out of order.

If you do want a different fit, you will still.be able to flip through all your different lists at any time, including your 'master list' (which is your current list). Flipping to a different fitting list would probably take a few seconds to load however.

Players could also create lists for any other situations (PUBS) (Scout suits) (Prototype) (Heavies) etc.

I have been playing my other two characters and both have less than 3M SP, they have very few fits and next to no inventory. I have yet to experience lag/frame rate issues except at the Gal research facility.

As a result I pared down my inventory of fits on my main. I saw a slight improvement but nowhere near as my "noob" characters.

If I had 3 or 4 pages of 10 fits each and I had to choose which set of 10 I could take into a match with the promise it would improve overall quality of the match, I'd be hard pressed to disagree with the idea if CCP decided to move in that direction.

So basically lists would be equivalent to folders?
