The amount of whining that removing the passive generation of officer weapons from the lab is vexing. It's an Experimental Lab and should produce just that, experimental weapons. The people i see crying the most are the ones who buy them all up and stomp. Good God. Help us all. The stompers are crying.
The passive production of officer bullshit needs a serious decrease in drop rates.

That's because people don't like to buy something that isn't permanent. I think of Apex suits as being similar to the starter fits. Yes they diminish the risk / reward gameplay. However they don't destroy it. There is plenty of room for escalation and risk vs reward with advanced, proto, experimental and officer gear. Plus vehicles.
They need to increase the CPU and PG slightly on the APEX suits

However they don't destroy it. There is plenty of room for escalation and risk vs reward with advanced, proto, experimental and officer gear. Plus vehicles. Whether or not there is escalation is of no circumstance to the risk/reward of APEX BPOs. You deploy in an APEX BPO, you are exempt from losses. Is there better gear? Yes. That has nothing to do with the fact that you're not spending ISK on the gear you are using and the fact that it is more competitive than Standard and Militia gear. The only items that should be free are the bottom of the barrel, low-end performance. I don't get irritated when a player kills me with a Militia Ion Pistol in a Starter Suit. I get very irritated when Johnny Nobody kills me with a Prototype Weapon on an APEX Suit.
I don't know a single player who runs an unmodifed APEX. I sure as hell don't. They aren't very good to start with.
On my Rasetsu I remove both dmg mods in favor of complex extenders. I take off the scan mod in favor of enhanced armor plates. ARR put in place of the RR. Uplink replaces hive. The only thing I'm not paying for is the dropsuit itself. I change everything else. Sometimes i have to add CPU/PG mods but hey, it's what i like.
Just because I'm in an APEX doesn't mean I'm not losing anything. I'm not the only merc in these boots either.
Furthermore, the thread will quickly derail if the topic shifts to dropsuits. That being said, reduce the drop rate of officer bs that comes out of the Exp Lab.

Thales +ù9
Kalentes +ù4
Balacs +ù3
All of those from the warbarge.

Well, using that logic, skins do not drop from strongboxes. I've opened a lot and never saw a skin one time. Therefore, anyone who claims to have gotten a skin from a srongbox is a liar because it's" impossible" .
You logic is illogical.

You did the right thing CCP. No matter what, someone is going to cry.

No matter what, someone is going to cry. officer gear was never a problem, if you get stomped, you would have been stomped anyways. all this does it makes it so you only rarely see it in pc's, or if it's a pure stomp. i VERY rarely see it in pubs anyways. Define very rarely.
Exactly.. Very rarely my ass. Play at night. Protobears and officer bs everywhere. It's hard to defend against a squad with that mix of gear. So the getting stomped anyway is invalid.
