To clarify, in this build the way restocking works is that every single item in a persons dropsuit is added by the number X that you want to restock. This inevitably leads to waste as at times you simply do not need more than one or two items to be restocked at that moment. In order to get to those specific items you need to navigate more menu options, go into edit, and point and restock to each individual item in order to avoid waste.

The E3 build of the game employed a much more elegant means of restocking. In that build of the game when a person restocked to number X then it wouldn't add to the amount of any of the items in your dropsuit that were already beyond X. To me this method of restocking made sense and was a far more efficient means of restocking different vehicle / dropsuit fittings than what is currently in the game. If I needed 20 of dropsuit Y and already had 40 of a certain item that was listed in that dropsuit fitting, then me restocking that dropsuit to 20 would mean that I could use that dropsuit exactly 20 times barring other dropsuit fittings using the same equipment. That meant that if I had two of the same module fitted to the same dropsuit, me restocking to say number Y, the module would be fitted to 2Y because the system knew that I'd be using 2 of said item at every individual spawn.

In summary the E3 build (or at least the build we had that preceded the increase in prices to vehicles) version of restocking was quicker and more cost effective than whatever means of restocking is currently in the game, and I'd like to see a revisit to the old method.

I would like away to switch between the two. I could check price of fit and stock my main fits with current restock, then restock variants with e3 style.

So, if I make a fit with shotgun/smg, another sniper/smg, and another swarm/smg, then make versions flux, av, and locus. I could stock main fit to 50 and sniper/swarm fits to twenty five with current restock, then restock other 6 variations with e3 style restock.
I would have 100 valid fits, but 9 versions each usable 25-50 times. This currently takes some playing around in fitting screen, and buying items individually.

Yes, same as last build.

Why was it even removed? It was perfect.
