Waiting for hot fixes that may or may not introduce a new weapon mechanics is tiresome and tedious, and crunching the numbers for CCP is always hit or miss on whether something will become OP or useless.
Why don't we just add new experimental variations of existing gear to the LP store without modifying existing stats. This way players can beta test prototypes of potential gear while CCP can compare game balance based off of the results and modify stats accordingly.
For example, I've seen a comment floating about that suggested adding a State CK.0 Sentinal with a 3/2 slot configuration. If added, we could assess whether or not the suit was balanced without removing the 4/1 CK.0.
In short, it would be pretty interesting to see uniquely configured gear in the LP market to provide a more diverse playing field while gathering more information about how to balance the game. |

It would be pretty cruel to add a Sentinel Special Suit to the Caldari while the rest of the Loyalty Store is empty...I'm not against it, but can we fill the Loyalty Stores first?
I miss the old GAM crew :(

I'm not going to acknowledge this comment as you've mistranslated allot. I've used that one as an example that experimental configurations for gear should be beta tested in the LP market to add diversity and better statistics for CCP |

Just make an experimental hardware tab in the market. Put a 20 - item limit on experimental fittings per week. Allow people to test fire.
Profit. |

I truly understand what you're saying. I'm only asking, why should a Sentinel Suit needing to be tested go to Caldari? How about the Minmatar and Gallente Sentinels be added to the Loyalty Store first, other wise everyone will flock to Caldari, and the Gallente have nothing substantial fighting for. FW actually affects EVE, so making one side far more favorable than the other should be discouraged.
That is all I was saying. If you disagree, please just explain it to me. I will do my best to understand 07

I kind of dig this idea. Something needs to keep me interested in this game, especially after destiny drops |

New gear content has always gotten my vote, but WITH SUSPISCION and CAUTION:
We've learned the hard way that it's IMPOSSIBLE (and downright dangerous) to intruduce a peice of gear based solely on it's prepared stat numbers. Every new piece is "experimental" in terms of success or its ability to create vastly unfair inbalance in the next 30 matches---For this reason I say NOT in FW (LP) matches. FW should contain only the stable variations of gear that have earned their Racial stamp through reliability and involatility to the gameplay.
I would almost want to see CCP's experimental weapons, and vehicles, appear in the Battle Academy only, each one free (not Aurum), each without much fanfare so CCP can test it and pull it out of the game to perfect it (or trash it), and each for a limited time only (so it doesn't dent Sony's Aurum market).
--It would make more sense to EVE Lore (corps want to try their new potential-failures on Newberry mercs, with less injury to their irreplaceable vet mercenaries)
--give Newberry's FREE sporadic access to the "proto" goodies as limited-time incentive to continue orientating themselves to the game (they'll breifly have their hands on goodies that we vets won"t get in our matches until the test-periods are over)
I certainly don't believe that ANYTHING new or experimental be introduced to the general Skirmish/Domination/Ambush matches. They are jungles, they served their purpose a long time ago
...and I'd really hate for us to play FW (LP) matches just to milk it for the experimental weaponry, and then run back to Skirmish matches to hose the unprivileged mercs. 
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
