Too much officer gear. I'm sure the descriptions read RARE. Yet the experimental lab always seems to spit out more officer gear then actual experimental gear.

And it doesn't help that we have people who are too trusting and get scammed by scumbag players who want to stockpile all of it.

Can we have the experimental lab only spit out experimental stuff? We already have so many ways for officer gear to drop.

We have it as battle salvage,strongboxes,and the lab. Thats one too many ways to get the gear and its killing our new player retention and new player experience due to players who have too much isk and time on their hands.

There are times where I actually hate getting officer gear because why do I need it? I play mostly pubs in a apex seraph logi that cost maybe 16k to run the way I need it.
I occasionally join gfw's lucent echelon chat to help the gallente side but I still run apex there.

When I do run PC I run proto scouts but that's about it.
I actually don't even use the gear anymore,I just sell it to the market vendor to keep less gear in pubstars hands.

The experimental stuff is perfectly OK. Officer is OP as it should be but the major problem is that its just too widely available. Just type in a wtb x amount of x officer gear and someone sells it to you. Bam. That trade probably is gonna lose dust another new player because getting totally boned by a weapon they can't even find in the store just kills their want to play the game.
