I am running an experiment where, for the next month, I will only equip BPO items. The purpose of this is two fold. First of all, losing gear becomes costly, especially after a handful of particularly brutal pub stomps. As a scout one good blast from an advanced or prototype AR destroys me, I personally will not be CQC viable in the frequent cluster scramble until I have more than the 2mil SP I currently have. For the sake of my ISK I am going to run freebies for a bit.

The second purpose is to see how much of a difference gear actually makes. In an effort to gauge how much of a difference can be felt I will utilize only my BPO items in my fittings this month and see how the game feels to me. I think September is the perfect month to do this since we will theoretically have a matchmaking system that works and may prevent drastic imbalances in team composition.

I am posting this here to see if anyone else would like to make September a BPO month with me. You can save a lot of ISK if every suit is free, and you can see how gear changes your game and your mindset.

My best is 14-1 with militia medic suit :D
