Will we be able to select standard loadouts? It is very annoying to decorate your character, die, and then have to spend another 10 minutes hanging guns on them.

So we're not planning any sort of loadout editor. However, lockers. Lockers are the thing we want to deliver to you and hopefully provide you what you're after. The idea is, especially for armor lockers, you would go up to a locker fully attired and just be able to dump what you're wearing into it. And that would retain your sidearm, all your equipment, grenades, ammo, et cetera. So all the time you put in to equip yourself, you'll be able to save that and store it in a locker. And obviously, if you've got multiple lockers, then you can have multiple loadouts that you can return to every time. That gives you a great bonus if you've got a bigger ship or eventually larger hubs. We also do want to support the notion of outfits, but they're going to be more geared towards clothing, primarily because with armor lockers, the idea is one suit for the locker. What's in that locker is your loadout, so to speak. But with outfits for clothing, you could buy an outfit from a shop, come back, go up to your wardrobe locker, dump that into your locker. And when you return to it, you might say, oh, I want to equip that outfit again. And again, you might want to customize it. So maybe you bought two outfits, but you like the hat from one more or whatever. The idea there is that you'll be able to customize clothing outfits, and that should be within an interface that's tied into your locker. And just so you're aware, lockers are meant to be very tactile; the player interaction system, we want to use that for any time in game, but we also want to bring in elements of the inventory system so that you're able to, through that, customize outfits and whatnot. Again, it's very early days. This is on the horizon. I'm not sure when it's coming. But lockers, we've got designs, we know what we're doing for that. I'm looking forward to working on that.

Gotcha, so similar functionality, just approaching it from a more diegetic in-universe angle.

Exactly, yes.
