As stated before, there are outliers, specifically the Amarr uplinks, Min rep tool, Gal scanner, and Cal needle. Past that, the modules and suits will run you a net negative, in isk terms, depending on multiple factor, but you aren't generally saving a lot.

Of the specialist weapons, each race has only 1... the Gal AR specialist is not bad, as there are some small gains to be had, and the same as the SCR, but the overall lower cost is not something that is exceptional for these suits. As well, last time I checked, they were still just slightly easier fitting versions of the prototype versions, so the only gain, here, is a couple of PG is saved... which I never use all of my PG on my Amarr suits, anyways. Further more, the specialist Boundless CR is ok, as the fitting costs for these weapons are already really low, and you end up saving only 1 PG, or so, after the innate assault bonus is taken into account. As far as the Caldari, however, the Kaalakiota Specialist RR has 2 less PG than the normal prototype, which means, it fits like the Ishukone Assault, which, even with equal fitting requirements, is still a better weapon, imho.

So... the list of "good items" from the shop would be what...? APEX (sold for isk), skins (sold for isk), and 4 equipment, which are actually extremely viable and useful.

What would be the consensus on LP exchanges? Trading Minmatar LP for Amarr gear, but at a far higher rate and only after a certain LP level.

Normally I would never say this idea as it would then fit into my BlackMarket ideals once we had a Massive, self-staining economy, but working with what we have, why not?

Lore: After serving on the battlefields of the State for years, Headstrong had finally achieved level 3 loyalty. Numerous Gallente villages, burned, ships boarded, battles won. The Ishukone Executive approached him following his latest victory.

"Impressive, Mr. Headstrong. 100 battles won for us, we value such service."
"Thank you sir...but there is an issue..."
"What is it?" The stern faced man grumbled.
"I am a Minmatar Scout user, using augmented hacking speeds to win. However, the filthy Gallente have my tech in their War Arsenals."
The Caldari smiled. "Very well then...you have proven your loyalty to us after all this time. For three times the LP, we will get you some Codebreakers."

TLDR At Loyalty Rank 2, you are able to exchange LP of your faction for LP of another faction at a rate of 6 to 1.

At Loyalty Rank 3, you may exchange LP for a rate of 4:1

Loyalty Rank 5, 2:1

And Loyalty rank 7- 1:1

Numbers subject to debate of course...

Would be better just to offer up full module parity for all factions, honestly. Weapons, Dropsuits, and Equipment are a different matter but those can just be made tradeable.

Glad you like it. Let's see what everyone else says.

If the majority of the community likes that proposal than we can easily just make module parity across all factions and leave dropsuits, weapons, etc behind conversion. Then everyone can get the gear they want while fighting for who they want. This reduces the necessity for tradeable items and allows Faction Warfare to still be the predominant source of where those unique items originate.
