But how much are you paying for a single officer fitting?

You got scammed and now you're salty?

Or did you get officer stomped?

Either way scammers don't stockpile
they "say" they have the gear and once isky is sent
they leave the chat or hang around and troll you.

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.

Just to remove any speculation:

CCP Frame on officer weapons
Yes, they are rare and yes drops are not guaranteed, but obtaining an Officer weapon shouldn't be something that is common within the game.

Deezy- I like the idea. How about we use the battle salvage that we sell and a mix of warbage parts. Kinda like having a isk and aur suit being restocked?

Honestly I do not and never did agree with the weapons lab having an extra cost to claim.

How many components does claiming our passive isk and SP? For that matter how much does it cost to maintain the damage modifier weekly? How much cheaper is the experimental lab to upgrade? So why is the experimental weapons lab so much different than everything else?

My assumed answer here is that it was a way to limit officer weapons which probably should not have ever been in the lab anyway. Now that we have free strong box key(s) every day just from playing there is plenty of officer weapons flowing out and no reason to need an extra source of them.

I have to stand by my previous proposal being exactly what we need just because of these facts.


Serious props on bringing this up as it was something that myself and many others have overlooked completely from next to no use of this subsystem.

I kinda brought it up because I hate getting all officer gear from an experimental labratory. You know? Where EXPERIMENTS HAPPEN? I kinda just really like the experimental shotguns and assault rifles. If they had scrambler pistols I would **** in my pants.

Blame obsessive neat freak issues.
