First I would like to say that the load time for suit selection needs a bit of work now onto the interesting stuff.
When selecting fitting it is situational which suit I will chose. Tanks on field then forge, loads of infantry assault etc. Currently the only way to do this is to scroll like mad. So what I propose is a tabbed selection system.
L1 and R1 take you between tabs which you can name, for example militia, assaults, anti tank and heavies. This means you can have load of fits without loads of scrolling.
The previously selected tab becomes default on next spawn. This way I don't have to tab past the militia fits everytime I spawn. If I've learnt anything from Eve it's that you WILL end up with loads of fit's.
Finally we would need functionality to change a suits positioning in each tab and it would be nice to be able to clone fits I have assault fittings almost the same with nano hives and uplinks. |

I have the same issue! Thats what lead me to this idea. |

We have Pilot, Heavy, Assault, Logistics, Scout (am I missing any?) Break them down by that, and then you just tab to the armour class you want, then pick the particular fit. Personally, it seems unlikely that we'd have more than 4 or 5 fits for a given armour class (I'm a cheap SOB and mostly use militia stuff, and I have about 3 per armour class). Would make thing fast and simple to select in battle, and it would also be a little easier to program. What if you have several AV fits that you're tossing up between, and their in different classes? This layout would prevent you from quickly switching between them and comparing. Having custom tabs would be better, so you can have AV, AP and Hybrid tabs if you want to, OR you can have Heavy, Assault, Scout, etc. tabs if that suits you better.
Yes the other thing I was considering is corp fittings on a seperate tab for each combat doctrine. Much like in EVE we have Tengu or Drake doctrines with standard setups the same could be said for DUST with multiple tabs for groups of fits used in different doctrines. |

Would appreciate further input from the community on this idea, dropsuit selection will become a very important feature in the near future. |

I have ran out of fits a few times, everything uses the same av grenade, I run out and it's default militia till next battle.
Wow this is an epic idea, so you get told at respawn screen how much this suit costs to buy again. Could also help CCP increase player AUR usage as in the heat of the battle someone is more likely to just buy another AUR related suit than when they are on the market screen. |
