Well not like what you might think. I don't mean actually skinning a dead merc and putting on his dropsuit. I meant the caldari assault and gallente assault.
I wanted to explore the cal assault a little. Since I had only the time back then before the slot changes and now I have a proper working knowledge of sheildings and the skill points in the necessary tree.
And so when parth0k was advertising any cal loyalty apex in the trello trade channel I bought the rasetu.
The slot layout is pretty well rounded.
2 shield extenders,2 damage mods, and a recharger.
2 sheild regulators.and a range extender.
State rail rifle,bolt pistol,nanohives,carnifex grenade(its sorta like a m8 packed,i already scored a few kills with it)
Quickly i swapped a few things out.
Two milita sheild extender bpos for the damage mods(i have around 500 sheild hp with 42hp per second recharge)(FOR FREE)
One of the sheild regs was upgraded to proto and the range extender was scrapped in favor of a complex kincat. (Gotta go fast)
The rail rifle was swapped for a assault rifle..
I then ran the suit(wich costs 8k isk approx.) Like a cqc gallente assault. Useing the fact that sheilds are resistant to non plasma/scrambler weapons.
I also ran with the assumption that that 500 sheild was my only health bar and keeping that bar as high as possible was the key to my wellbeing.
So i made use of the kincat and assault rifle and got i to lots of cqc with every class of suit.
Only when my sheild was really depleted or someone dealt a large amount of alpha damage did i go down.
All in all I think anyone who runs armour tanked caldari should chuck out the armour and put in a kincat. It helps for getting in and out of engagements. Somehow the cal assault has slightly enough stamina to run a good distance really saved my white plated but..
Chuck the damage mods and get rechargers and extenders.
Make your sheilds bar your only bar.
Focus on your sheild and run like hell when its less than a third full. I mean I went positive with just a basic assault rifle(kinda like with my gallente assault,20 plus kills)
What's to stop people with full rail rifle trees and points in cal assaults from dominating? (I only have level four in rail rifle operations but lv3 in reloads and ammo)
The gallente assault felt very menacing when I finally tried it out after I unlocked it. The most basic fit ever with just all basic and some adv was repairing armour quick. The basic kincat was OK for propelling my but Into engagements. The assault rifle was thumping and slinging plasma. I went 27/3 on my first go. Only dying when I was completely surrounded by enemies. Yet to this day I see assault gk.0s with assault rail rifles and near 800 armour waddling their way to fights.
And I know they were running damage mods on those ishukones. Because I run dual krins and a single myofib For cqc purposes.
Don't even know why you would need damage mods on a rail weapon considering which shred armour and sheild very very quickly. If you happen to have assault gk.0s ,take off them rail rifles. Its a shame to see them penguins waddling around.
Ha! You can't kill me! I'm already dead!
