Yeah... i was in the process of building another batch of logi dropsuit fittings, because i got them nice proto repair tools, when i couldn't duplicate fittings anymore and was instead greeted with this nice message: Quantity of custom fittings has reached upper limit.
Really CCP? Really? REALLY?
Please tell me there's a really really good reason for only allowing 30 dropsuit fittings.
One reason would be because every fitting requires like 500mb on local hd space and you wouldn't want to burden peoples hds more then you'd need to or something...
But in this day and age i really can't figure out why there would be even a restriction on fittings. What do you need to save per fitting? Like 19-20 ItemIDs from the database and a name? Thats what 80 bytes for the IDs and another like 40-160 bytes for the fitting name?
And even if you'd have to restrict them... why 30? Why not 1000? Even with a restriction to 100 i could live, tough i'd most certainly hit that cap rather sooner then later.
This just blows my mind...
And yeah... i like having that many fittings.
My base logi fittings usually have a certain loadout on the equipment side (like repair tool, nanohive, injector or RT, NH, Uplink or RT, NH, Active Scanner, and so forth) and those base layouts vary in weapons carried, grenades carried. And those fits get varied in price so i have those fitting types as cheap militia fits, less expensive pub match running in squads fits with advanced gear and more expensive fits with proto stuff, and so forth. I already have 25 logi fittings and was in the process of making another 6-12 ones... and now i'm kinda annoyed. |

Nerdism i guess.
As of now i have 27 different logi suit fittings, and three cheap fit AV fittings. And i already deleted a bunch of my logi fittings because of that cap.
@Zeylon Rho
Yeah... i may be weird with my 27 (and even more in my mind) logi fittings... but people will run into this constraint eventually when they start to get into other roles that need different suits and fittings.

Saying "NO!" because CCP didn`t get it working with reasonable performance on the first try is the wrong way to go. Because if the performance sucks with a greater number of fittings because the code is crap, slapping that foo into folder will most certainly not help. And artificially limiting the number of fittings is bound to annoy people in the long run.
You have to say "YES!" and CCP has to get this foo right in every way. And perhaps they did speed it up significantly with uprising, but we don`t really know because this limit is in place.
Nevertheless possible performance problems don`t make this request invalid. CCP just needs to get those problems sorted as well as increasing or getting rid of that limit.
That said, i like your folder idea but i wouldn`t slap it onto game modes. That's just too limiting because i`d organize my fittings in roles (logi, vehiclesuits, av, killing) rather then game modes. And i`d not change the selection of fittings on the deployment screen much. Just add the folders on top or bottom besides other fittings. So you could have some standard default fittings you use all the time and specialized foo in the folder structure. New newbies would be harmed this way ;)
Regarding that Export/Import fittings thing. CREST will be able to manipulate fittings, if 3rd party devs will be allowed to do that is the other question. But if they are i don`t see a problem importing/exporting fittings to a external fitting tool.
But i have the feeling you`re trying to come up with a way to get more fittings that wouldn`t be a performance hit on the client or easy enough to use. I say get rid of that notion... CCP has people that get payed to think up ways to make this UI usable (i know doesn`t really looks like it) or to program that foo so that it doesn`t impact performance. You would at least think that.

@Kaze Eyrou
first things first *highfive*
And secondly: yeah i like your implementation idea. CCP get it done ;) |
