Based on my forum readings on the topic I think I'm in a minority opinion that changing modules on APEX bpos is a bad idea since their intent was supposed to be #1. The idea a new player who'll stick for the long haul could aur themselves a "proto" and not have to worry so much about going isk negative while they trained, learned and skilled themselves up fully seemed beneficial and based on their popularity was.
With the ability now to use the frame as a proto-bpo akin to my std-class dragonflys, even with some still being tweaked fitting restrictions, I don't see that benefit being as such, I see a bpo that in time will just bring the playerbase back full-circle to stompers take all.
#2 I think if FW is going to be like that then the natural progression would ultimately lead to MM priorities if not outright caps or exclusions on queing FW matches based on clone race ie. Gal could not queue Cal, Min could not queue Amarr etc. I understand these are the Faction Wars so purists abound but wonder whether a better alternative would be to expand the EVEside effects of our FW outcomes. And multiply those benefits if the progress is achieved by the greater percentage of factional loyal participants. In the longer term that could create an incentive for EVE pilots to contract Factional Mercs directly and upon those mercs' success reap greater benefits.

I do like the changes made to the apex though, the ability to swap out the crappy acr on my min logi to an ar is nice. Sure you can fit proto and advanced weapons and gear on them but they will be gimped, and ultimately just end up as crappily fitted advanced suits with proto weapons.
Thats what the $5 packs are for. $20-25 invested in gets a new yet engaged player the "no isk-loss" option. Or some other fairly equitable aur option, boosters etc.
I personally, as an adult with an appreciation for arts and entertainment, when I see something worth paying for I pay. $20 is 3 cheap beers and tips. Not to justify in any way the cost structure here but just as an example of the disposability of disposable income.

Majority opinion btw especially majority forum opinion would probably have you guys playing EVE-CoD.
I wouldn't be, I'd be loooong gone.
