DUST Search - Officer Gear in Pub Matches

Why do people use officer gear in Pub matches?

I can understand using a Thale's from the safety of the Redline or even maybe Tower Forging with a Gastun's. Anything else seems foolish unless you just don't care and have tons of them.

It just seems that using an officer weapon is like a carrying a big "HEY! EVERYONE! SHOOT ME! I WANT TO DIE!" sign and just isn't worth it in a pub match.

Just yesterday there was a Proto Sentinel with a Gastun's HMG who had at least two Logi's repping and reviving him. When I noticed he was using a Gastun's I immediately spawned with a Forge Gun and CQC Forged his ass so he wouldn't get up(looking back I should have used a MLT Forge instead of the ADV one, just to really mess with him, oh well).

The thing is, his score wasn't impressive. 27/8 or around there. I've gotten better scores running solo with a simple ADV or even STD HMG fitting. I know K/D R isn't important or whatever, but this guy clearly though it was, and even with the best of the best gear and two logis up his ass, he didn't even do that great and he lost at least one Gastun's all in a pointless pub match.

Maybe I just value my precious 6 Gastun's HMGs and 6 Gastun's Forge Guns too much.

Had a game not long ago where a guy pulled out a Balac's and killed a squad mate, I legged it straight there in a scout suit and dropped an RE on the hive the guy was using to keep himself repped. He got a grand total of 1 kill with that weapon before losing it lol. Also saw a krins in the killfeed the other day but before I could hunt him down he found one of my uplinks and shot it, one of my boobytrapped uplinks lol. Lead Diplomat for Forsaken Immortals.

Surprisingly I've never been killed by those EVER and im the type of idiot to get 2m to close to uplinks. Its alright everyone, no need to worry it's just an Amarr scout :(

There's little in this game that gets my heart going, but when I'm close to death in a Balac's equipped Dragonfly scout... That's actually a rush. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.
