What does everything think?
Is APEX customization good for Dust, and if so, are we doing it properly?
The Role of Apex Suits
What is the main benefit to having them in Dust? To me, they served 2 purposes.
1.) Provide a viable option to poor players in pubs while not being OP
2.) Provide a standardized faction suit for FW. I was looking forward to seeing these become common in FW due to FW not paying out ISK. I think the increased racial parity would be great for FW: When I'm playing against Amarr, I want to see mostly Amarr suits and weapons on the other team. Pubs can be the hodge-podge of mercs slapping together all the crazy combos they want, where FW would look much more like the two factions at war with each other, is how I've always imagined it anyways.
Customization of the APEX suits erases benefit number 2, which is unfortunate. This game has under-performed in the immersion and lore departments, and I was looking forward to having FW feel more like a war between the factions.
For that reason I propose limited customization
Limited Customization
Not every part of the suit should be customizable. For example, weapons should only be exchangeable with weapons of the same factions. No race-mixing weapons. Equipment and modules could be mixed due to the imbalance of racial equipment.
This gives players limited options, and still encourages racial parity.
Who cares what some sniper has to say.

That's the nature of Dust, anyone's main weapon could get nerfed at any time. Just the way she goes.... :P
But what I would propose is having any weapon from your faction available as an option on your suit.
So for example:
If you have Apex Amarr Assault, you could fit your suit with ScR, AscR, or Lazor, free of charge/

I agree except for one thing.
The Republic 'Tiger' Scout, being the famous ninja knifer it's designed to be, needs CALDARI Nova Knives to utilize it's popular bonus. We don't have Minmatar-variant knives. Think about that for a bit.
Damn bro I think your points been made. I would also like to point out how it is you would suggest C.C.P. to implements this.
I'm a logi and I play all factions for the cheap equipment and to obtain that factions logi suit are you suggesting they
lock the factions suit to the faction you play or the faction you are. If it's the first that sucks because I like to run mass
driver exclusively on everything, if it's the second my profile is gallente and I play minmatar logi most of the time so
either way I'm in the gutter. I guess you could mean just locking the suits to their faction stuff but again I only like
running the mass driver so that would still suck to. I really do not like being limited in any of my choose when it comes
to my suits and how I run them. I am sure other people and C.C.P. feels the same way about that. I suggest letting
people run whatever they want on whatever suit they want so long as it stay true to the roots of the suit.
@Maken: As far as I understand, Nova knives are Min weapons even though Ishukone makes them. Just like the SMG, also a Min weapon.
@Twelve Guage. I never proposed locking people out of FW in any way. I only propose that APEX suits maintain their racial parity, and have limited customization.
From the sounds of things you like very diverse loadout, that's fine, but maybe the APEX suits aren't for you. Remember they were initially not to be customizable in any way.
