At least with this suit I know I earned it rather than take the lazy way and pay for it with cash. I don't do too well with the shotgun it has because I don't have experience with it (*nova knifer here*) and I have absolutely NO SP invested in shotguns so this suit is working against me in every possible way.
But I still use it in FW because it's just interesting to me.
I now have plans to go for the Republic 'Tiger' Scout. I don't know about the Imperial and State variants as I'm kind of biased against both factions in FW and I don't want my standings with the Federation and Republic to go down like the 2008 stock market.
First off, yes, I would rather "earn" the suits, rather than "take the easy way out" and pay cash.. But that is not a choice I have.. I simply don't have the patience to wait weeks and weeks to save up LP. After the update, I will put my daily three or four hours in and see what it's like.. I have two suits in mind and will probably just get them with AUR. That being said, I will buy the gal logi for the scans and I also like amor while I'm giving reps.. The burst AR is a weapon I like to use, so why not.. Have lv.5 min logi but the extra reps don't outweigh the helpfulness of the scans IMO.. I will also be buying the min assault..I also have lv5 min assault, combat rifle and flaylock... So that will be nice as I like all the weapons and the remotes |

So I am thinking of getting a Min and a Gal APEX suit.
I don't really need them. I just like collecting things and will never spend the LP.
I have a proto Gal Scout and a proto Min Assault. I think I would like to get different suits with the APEX just for something new.
If you have purchased one or are thinking about it, what are you getting and why?
Are you getting an APEX version of something you already have at proto to take advantage of the bonus? Or are you looking at something you don't already have for some variety?
Anyone regret buying one? Any advice?
I'm kinda looking at that "Shaman" logi since I don't have one to make some WP's but I would be a solo Logi. The Gal has a scanner. Do you get WP's for using a scanner if you are not in a squad? Never used one.
Thanks. I love my Warlord and Nomat minmatar suits. As a low SP char, they really help. They will be sort of useless for higher SP chars though.
How would they be useless? Especially if the suit u want has everything on it you want and are skilled into? (Not saying it might get changed of course). All of your skills still apply.. It's actually the opposite.. Those suits are BETTER if you have more SP (given the skills you have apply to what's on the suit and the kind of suit it is) |

I like the Spartan, but is a little (just little) miffed that it didn't come with an Active Scanner as was advertised. I don't know when and why this was changed, but now it has a Nanohive instead. I was thinking about getting one of these myself. Just to clarify, can you post the full actual fitting here? Thanks, Regis.
This is the most recent thing I can find... This is so u can see all the suits incase u change your mind on one.. But beware.. Three are subject to change.. As someone mentioned, the scanner on the gal assault is now a nanohive

I, personally am staying away from the shield suits... Yes the min assault looks good and the gal logi and maybe the gal commando.. Oh and I meant they are subject to change, not three lol |

But the changes use to be preceded by discussion, like we had during the announcement of the APEX suites. Both the excel sheet you linked and the official batch post by CCP Frame stated the Gal Assault to have a Active Scanner. I have searched the forums, and can find nothing to indicate why this was changed. So, I have a hunch the current configuration is not intentional, but a mistake. If not, I would love to hear the reasons why this was changed.
Who knows.. I don't think it was this thread, but someone had mentioned they bought it and it didn't have the scanner, but a nanohive, and he was cool with that.. I hope they at least pop in and say "hey, sorry for any inconvenience, but we changed something." Just so people who are still mulling over options know what they are getting |

I personally prefer the nanohive, since the AR can eat up ammo quickly, especially when laying down suppressive fire or attacking shield/armor tanked enemies.
Yeah it makes sense.. But if they did change things, it would be nice for an update so people aren't surprised.. Some changes may not be as welcomed as this one (if it was really changed) |
