true but CCP does not have the ability yet to limit editing on some suit. that is why they can not do a match making with limits like basic/militia gear only battles, adv gear or less battles, and all gear battles. yes that means tanks mods too and the ads would be proto battles only.

besides if your new top dust you would buy the APEX while vets see its and most will grind for LP suits. I have seem the new tiger scout already and saw the LP gal scout the first day they were out. so the suits work as they are mean to. help new players by have a proto bpo suit while not give they an huge advantage and vets have a bpo proto suit with the bonuses (sp skills) helping the suit even more. it is a fair and balanced suits. if you don't like them and wanted a refund try putting in a ticket to see if ccp can do it.

I was planning to grind some LP for the gal scout, but i don't like the changes.

Yes, we should have the ability to edit suit with other STD level stuff if we want.

Ok, so here's the thing - I made a purchase because I was satisfied with the product offered. Somebody else thinks they'd like a different variation on the theme and negotiates a different deal. Good for them, but why am I now forced to keep their deal? Changes made post-purchase are underhanded tactics that should be avoided in all cases to maintain trust with the community. I understand that the game belongs to CCP and they can do whatever they like with it, the issue here is trust.

Here's hoping they at least allow a trade into a different suit...

Moved HP from shield to armor at the sacrifice of profile and a basic 3% light DMG mod
Changed SMG to Ion Pistol (I hate that gun)
Changed RE to Uplink
Combined with coming EWAR and EQ changes, this is a deal breaker for me.

I'm usually not in a light/Scout suit. I've run Amarr scout on occasion but that's it. I looked over the spreadsheet (until it was hidden), debated over the variants, and decided on which one I'd like to pursue. The gal seemed decent. I got it right away, probably should have waited because it wasn't until after my purchase that I saw the feedback thread was started.
Given its current state I'm sure it works for someone, just not at all what I would have bought.
