Thanks for the feedback, we will return shortly.
Sorry.... I don't like having pushed something in this manner. It's perhaps just simple frustration that some of the coolest new content from a thematic sense that I am sure a hell of a lot of people are just dying to get a piece of is hidden in the chaos of RNG. And now I agree, so let's see what we can do about it. 
Put them in the LP store.

I conclude from this two things:
1. AUR value alone is not a good metric to judge whether the contents of a strongbox feel good to a player. If AUR value is used, it's value should be down-weighted by 50% if the receiver isn't skilled into the item or if the receiver has much higher skills than what is required (with the difference being taller than 2 levels).
2. Stuffing smaller quantities of several items into a strongbox increases the likelihood of receiving an interesting item.
5 basic bolt pistols, 1 Kubo's PLC and 5 defender suits is an acceptable drop.
10 STD PG upgrades, 1 Rattati's gk.0 and a skillbook is an acceptable drop.
... I think defender suits are skillless, to help new players graduate out of militia suits, and understand fitting better and the idea of "running out of" dropsuits. I realize that and I think they're great ... for new players. Catch my drift?  Also, what's your stance on recalibrating the strongbox item generator as suggested in strategy #2? We are doing our best to react to the community's needs and wishes. Some functionality we simply don't have, yet. Like multiple drops, or selectable drops. But we will do our best.
Have a Tash Murkon event and put new branches into the LP store for each suit or just 1 for all. Itlll definitely be an FW grindfest. I guarantee people will be buying lots of faction boosters which atm probably aren't selling too well.
