So tech 3 cruisers subsystems can be configured 5024 different ways. If a dev reads this I would ask, how many of the 5024 configurations have been used on each faction's t3? If a dev doesn't read this our can't answer, fruit for though, how many do you guys think have been used? Perhaps the overwelming mass of eve players and stupid fits have landed every possible combination, or maybe there are just some people would never fit.

It's interesting to think about :)

That probably includes different metas for the same devices so it is not a real number.

I'd say you likely already figured it out for yourself.

It's the game of don't do stuff and of the 5000+ there are really a dozen that are meant to happen. The rest are fail bait.

It's fairly well known that there are some of the subsystems that are only used for very specific scenarios, and some combinations never see the light of day because they horribly gimp the ship.

I have 3 loki-s each with different fit and configuration for diferent purposes ( pve, recon like pvp, exploration ) , each of that 3 has 1 or 2 different configurations ( pve sleepers / pve missions... or just exploration ( with nullifier) / exploration and abit of fighting ( different fit with few different subsystems )..with one or two subsystem i switch, keeping subsystems nearby (in station where i am based at or in cargo).

So i can say that i tried up to 10 configurations for loki ( out of 1251 ).
Along those lines if i flyall 4 t3s then i would be able to say that i can try 40 to 50 combinations.

Include links t3 fittings and some stuff i havent tried (armor loki for example, rr t3.. etc )... imho up to 150 combinations would be viable and lets add just another 100 for the heck of it because maybe other players got to the ideas i will not try in fitting...
..and i get to the number of 250 viable combinations.

Ill double that because i feel like it and here it is, 500 viable t3 subsystem combinations that are used, other 4524 are either fail fits or theory-crafting or very very rare.
