I play in mlt-std gear constantly.
I can run ofc...
Lately, if you are running just 2-4 people you can't run cheap gear. Seems like every third match I have to pull a vik just to cut a path anywhere.
It never fails either, some newberry MLT will repeatedly throw themselves at you with the reds proswarm snaketrail.... At that point you can't not kill them... repeatedly...
When I run fw I drop all reservations and go hard: lowsec.
PC is the most foul and exploitative groups home: nullsec.
Pubs are for missions and isk generation: highsec.
Std metalock makes MLT and std bpo more desirable in trades. Keeps apex in the advanced arenas and more faction aligned. Puts pro where it should always be used. (and always is)
If you play a lot of fw you have seen the hordes of new berries trying to escape the charnel house that is the current pubs.
There's nowhere to run.. (and people trying to do missions in fw makes me rage..)
Saying a meta lock would shrink our player base makes me laugh till it hurts.
Big corps would try... Being on even ground makes quite the difference though.
Most people trying to run pubs are HARDLY academy noobs.
It would give the sensation of highsec knowing you won't be officer ganked in .5 seconds.
Gives people a reason to try fw/pc and flex the real toys.
Endgame.
I could go on and on....
*sigh*

That's how it is supposed to work. A combined number. You can have whatever you want as long as you come in under the number. That gives a lot of personal freedom for fits and limits stomping.
This is the sort of meta lock that I'm really against. Never underestimate Dust players ability to break the game. I've just made a thread that will hopefully highlight my concerns.
I just did an example in that thread.....
At this point it would have to be a tier-lock not a meta-lock.
Militia contracts: MLT suits and weapons only. Mods are crazy hard to fit on MLT frames even with max skills.
Lore it up with something like:
"Concord has allowed your local station to offer simple garrisons in surrounding systems. As these battles take place in high sec space, equipment will be restricted to minimize property damage and civilian casualties.
As the engagements are of a lesser threat level, the isk you will receive will also be lesser. However, the experiences will serve your combat training as well as any other encounter would. See your station contracts officer for more information."
Newberries can get their sp on without being smeared. (too hard)
Vets can grind out their dailys.
Tryhards still have two modes to tryhard in.
(Q sync in this mode will happen, but will lead to less stomps)
Lower isk payout reflects lower cost of fittings.
No sp change because that hurts newbros.
And maybe tune the salvage (if possible) to more components, fitted fits, broken bits, and std gear. As these are the things plants crave.
