You forgetting is not CCP's problem. If you forget, you pay for it by having to spend maybe 10 seconds extra (max) in-battle getting another couple suits. I'm sure you can suck it up and spend a couple extra seconds if you really want to restock your fitting. If you're using a fitting that much, just buy in bulk so you don't have to restock as often. If you are testing a fitting, just suck it up. There is really no need for this option.

(auto restock would be optional of course) 1) I'm not saying that. If it takes you longer than 10 seconds, you are just slow or your Internet is slow (or maybe the game). And no, you don't HAVE to get more than just a couple dropsuits while in-battle. If you want to waste time getting 50 suits while in combat, that is also your choice and not CCP's problem. If I run out in battle, I grab like 5 suits and keep playing. If your team mates need you, it takes 3+ seconds to spawn anyway, so what if they die in those 3 seconds? My point here is that "what ifs" are not valid arguments to support your points. 2) There a multiples ways around this. You can play militia gear a while so you can stock up on your better suits. You can try to start earning a profit so you aren't always losing money in battle (requires improvement of your abilities to play). We have Uprising 1.2 now, so you could just get a loan from a Corp or another player. If you can't find someone, I will personally loan you a couple mil; please just end this. This has ceased being productive; there are better solutions and there are other aspects of the game that need ideas and to be improved upon before we should start nit-picking.

That is my fault for not being clear. Nevertheless, there is really little to no reason why one would have to restock a specific item on his/her fitting during battle; doing all individual restocks prior to battle is your responsibility and is part of the game. 2) Once again, I didn't say that. Militia and Standard gear is viable when facing Proto enemies. If you want advice on how to use cheap suits effectively, all you have to do is ask. Defeating strong opponents is less about the level of equipment one uses and more about how one faces his/her opponents. The benefit of adding this feature is so minimal that its not worth it. Despite the coding of this being likely to take 15 minutes, those are 15 minutes better spent elsewhere.

Fixing core game mechanics is more important than adding just-for-fun Muffin buttons. I DON'T KNOW. 15 minutes doing whatever CCP'S employees do to finish a bigger product!

I wouldn't mind "intelligent" restocking, as Vicious Minotaur put it. Someone mentioned the idea earlier. There is no need for auto restock, just buy enough suits. Intelligent restock would save me and most likely others who have many fittings a good bit of time and ISK.

When "OTHER people" is two people, adding this feature isn't very justified. Even looking at the larger picture, relatively few people would benefit from this.

I am thinking and this is the conclusion I came to. And it's obviously not just me, as can be seen within the first 10 posts on this thread. The current system is not broken and there is little to no need to "fix" or modify it. Why are we still debating this? This should have ended hours ago.

Auto-restock isn't beneficial to the point where it should be optional. It's more an idea that would just add a slight bit of convenience, like having the milk be in the front instead of the back of a small grocery store. I don't believe in a universal right or wrong; don't generalize and please clarify what is "wrong" about me. You are right about one thing; this continues because I remain. I'm out. Peace.
