I play quite a bit of MIn and Gal FW and have more LP with both factions lying around than I need.
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 regrets 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.

You get WP for intel kill assists to the whole team, I believe.
Meh, I give up on FW.

It is his fault. The amarr rarely put up a fight because GAL and Min can only Q sync protostomp. Who likes to fight when there is no chance of winning...?

Your whole team will be able to see the enemies you have scanned, but you will only receive Intel WP from kills made by your squad mates during the scan's duration.

I spent some AUR and bought the Gal Serpent scout and the Amarr Opus assault on the first day they were on the market.
I run (and have skills in) Gal scout anyways, so the APEX is not too bad. It is very inferior to any G/1 fit I can make as far as dampening, speed and cloak are concerned. The Federation SG is okay, but I suck with the Ion Pistol. Most attractive feature is that it's BPO and I can make pure profit ISK while running it.
I have zero SP into Amarr assault, but I do have the Templar BPO's and have run those with the Templar scrambler. I find the ScR on the OPUS to be inferior and I suck with the ScP. Overall, I do regret spending the AUR on the OPUS and would rather have something different.
It seems to me that some players are "offended" when they're killed by someone in an APEX fit (especially the AURUM ones) as I often find myself targeted by those I've killed.
Ultimately, once you accept that they are inferior fits and you are up to the challenge of using these inferior fits, go ahead and get one (or more) for your collection. |

I blew my wad of AUR to early on the first round of suits and went with the Min logi.
The good: has every thing you need to logi. Its pretty fast. Its free.
IMO the bad: limits your play style. Rupublic combat rifle is full of skittles and marshmallows and various other non lethal projectiles.
I like it, its not terrible and its not over powered. Its forced me to look at the non combat side of dust and its teaching me how to be support instead of assault.
I do wish I had held of and got a fighting fit but oh well I'll be grinding Cal FW if any one wants to stomp me to death repeatedly.

I got the Federation 'Serpent' Scout just for the looks. I care little about its fit and so far I have no regrets. 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 |

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. |

Thanks. I got The Apex Shaken Logo and the Apex Serpent Scout. I'd recommend saving your LP for them rather than buy them outright. They changed the Serpent scout after I bought it. I primarily good the logo because it had all the equipment I wanted in a logo even if its basic equipment. The Serpoent scout originally had several profile dampeners, remote explosives, shotgun and a submachine gun. Pretty much what I wanted in a scout. |

I coughed up some AUR and bought the APEX Gallente Spartan Assault yesterday. Since I refuse to play FW for either Gallente or Minmatar I did not have much option there. Currently grinding for my Caldari PeaceKeepers suites... But it will take some time.
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. |

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) |

Was finally able to LP buy the APEX Gal assault a few days ago and it is absolutely one of the most fun suits I've run in recent memories. Sure, my G-1 Series is leaps and bounds better in nearly every way, (except dampening lol) but it's free, and it's ever so slightly better than my free Quafe G-1 with a bit more hp, a basic (instead of militia) IP, and one less rep.

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

Thanks. That logi ain't going to make you that much sp if you don't have min logi to 5, or cr, and all your cores as i think all maxed you're looking at 420 ehp. With scanner you only get sp if someone in your squad kills the red dot when lit up. But if you don't have gal logi to 5 scanner is 100% NOT worth it as it's a standard. It also runs a Ar, you got that to 5?

I know they can change, and I am kind of ok with that. 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.

I am not in the game right now, but I will post the exact fitting later. The above feels correct, but I need to double check.

As someone mentioned, the scanner on the gal assault is now a nanohive https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/trbNwYwlfKHzKjcBsdYCuUg/htmlview I know they can change, and I am kind of ok with that. 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) |

Yip, if them spreadsheets are the only way we can know what gear comes with the fitting, then it would be rightly considerate of them CCP fellers to keep 'em up ta date. That don't seem like too much ta ask.

What do you think about the change from Locus to Flux grenade? Since the Assault Rifle has a bonus to shield damage, it would be preferable to have a Locus to finish off the armour.
Now I thave to throw the flux first, and then have a weapon which is -10% to armor. |

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
It seems the general consensus is to choose one that you already have skills into the suit or weapon.
But I was leaning towards getting a couple of suits that were new roles and/or new weapons for a change of pace.
I know they won't be as strong but they are BPO's. I am still torn. The Shaman would give me a logi which I don't have plus it has a CR which I have at max level.
Both the Min and Gal Commando look interesting with the MD and PLC but I have no SP in the AR.
Oh, and as much as I loathe Sentinels, I might consider the Warlord just to have one.

Also why do you have to bold eveeything you post? He bolds his posts because he has vision problems, and bolding what he says makes it easier to find his posts and replies to said posts.
Though there are many good things in the Caldari LP store, such as Swarm Launchers & Caldari Assaults. As for the Amarr LP store, they have their Uplinks, which many people stock up on for PCs.

I am flexible in playstyle depending on the match so I don't have a fav, fit. Kinda leaning towards shaman only because I don't have any sp in one and it would give me a free fit to try one out. Add that last bit of variety to my fittings and would prob be most expensive suit to fit if had to spend isk. |

I have all 5 of the LP Amarr suits and love them. This is mostly due to the fact that I have all the skills for all of them maxed out aside from 2 levels of proficiency on the laser and 1 level on the commando suit (the commando is still awesome tho)
I definitely would not recommend running them as a main suit unless you have your cores maxed out along with atleast the suit and primary weapon maxed as well. |

There are more but I can't remember their names..... good luck with the APEX suits.
TBH I don't care much about them or LP for that matter..... did the bulk of my fighting last year and early this year and theres nothing worth spending LP on right now.

A few of the apex commandos weapons make no sense, like the cal having a swm? Sure its cal tech, but gets no bonuses, the min has a MD and SWM, should have been MD and CR, or SWM and CR.

IIRC, Rust is Iron(III) Oxide mainly, which would make it Fe2O3 , not FeO.
Just saying.
Also: I find it funny that Minmatar are always associated with Rust. Yeah, ships look like scrap heaps, but you can't have something rust in the vacuum of space. Gotta have oxygen. The only places in space that you get a lot of oxygen is around inhabitable planets, and even then, only within around 160 and 560 km of it.

I'm not really scientifically minded. Ditched Physics, Chemistry in highschool asap to I could pick up MassCom's, French, and History.
But I think the Rust this is something Minmatar players made for themselves, just like the Amarr and Gold.....

Just going out on a limb here, Kaisar, but there is probably some oxygen inside the ships.
Oh, and FeO is also an iron oxide, but as its not the one that rust primarily consists of, you're essentially correct.
