I think millita BPO is good in that it allows the dirt poor or cheep to go free forever. Many games turn into a massacre especially with ******** spawning at a camped spawn point,so a way of playing with limited risk is always good.

But. it is just as good as the tech one stuff that you need to actually skill into AND pay for.

I am a avid user of millita gear being I run cheep fits, and will keep using them as much as possible, instead of tech 1 because it is literally free. Only paying for weapons that I can't get a BPO for when I feel like (actually started liking militia shot gun over mass driver that I pay isk for)

A way to allow people to keep using it for whatever reason, and be encouraged to actually use tech 1 or better is have tech 1 be 110% more effective or reduce the effectiveness of militia across the board to 90% of tech 1, suit HP, weapon damage, mod effectiveness, etc.

If this change is done, I might actually consider using tech 1 weapons mods and suits, and others would follow suit.

but that is the point, tech one suit fits should be covered regardless for the most part, being that those are the real fits that have a measure of realism that don't come out of thin air.

and having that just as good as millita is messed up, I look through stats and millita is just as good as tech 1, by having a actual difference gives a incentive to not use millita gear (and not the current situation where only thing I buy is some guns that I can't get millita BPO for)

it's called a starter fit for a reason.
if you take out the only starting point for any one, this game will crash quickly and painfully.

i can see where you want to help shead light on how good standard tier dropsuits and weapons are, and help people get the best out of the game.
however, putting limits on a sandbox game complete defeats the purpose of a sandbox game. taking out options for different play styles and fittings and options does not seem like a good way to help influence others to choose something else. you have the freedom choose how you want to play and fight in a sandbox game; if people want to play cheap and cost effective fittings, then good for them. if they want to be the best upgraded solider on the field by god go for it.

Oh and it keeps morons out of local begging for ISK because someone hacked their account and stole all their weapons, arms and armor and ISK.

They have freefits they can get ISKies with.

Edit: Mother F***er I cannot believe I have to eat this much crow.

i tabbed over and responded to the wrong Effing post.

You have my apologies.

I also do the fit swapout, having an absolute cap for ISK i'll casually burn per match.
