Hmm, it’s almost like the same discussion happened 10 month ago:
There was a simple solution to this, instead of manufacturing magazines, manufacture ammo piles. Magazines would be carried only in soldier’s inventory, bases and ships would store just ammo stockpiles.
The other thing is loadout templates, which are featured in numerous games. At the end this is all irrelevant, all these issues where discussed for the last year and half and not addressed.
