I have been wondering this since day 1. What's the point in spawning More then once every 2 minutes to die again lose ISK. (NOT SAYING I DO THIS) what earns you more ISK and why play skirmish if you can make the same amount in less time? |

The additional war points that you earn from using a GEK aren't worth the cost if you're looking from an economics perspective. The standard is the most cost-efficient option at the moment.
At least someone understands where I'm coming from |

Not when you know your losing money... |

I'd generally say this system is pretty fair as you can base a loadout on a freebie suit and just replace a few items at cost. The freebie suits are themselves a pretty good fallback when you're broke, and with them it's pure profit.
Eventually you're gonna want to gain some of the advantages of better gear, either to push a close game to a win, or maybe blow your funding on a corporate war to ensure you're giving it your all where it counts. Seems like that is the purpose of full spec'd loadouts, not necessarily a "full time" loadout, but more of a choice for when you wanna play hard.
I typically start out with my more pricy loadout (only 20k ;p) but if I feel like it's a losing battle and everyone is getting spawn camped, I'll swap out to my freebie stuff and just run n gun. If the game gets close and I want an edge I'll pull out the cost loadout again.
I haven't participated in a corp battle yet, but when I do I intent to throw all considerations of profit aside and run full spec till my bank breaks if that's what it takes. I can play pubs with freebie gear to make it back..
That's almost exactly what I do. I think the difference between the regular AR and the GEK is so minimal considering the costs. So I'll run with all cheap stuff to give me a little advantage over people using a pure millitia but if I die I only lose like 5k. And I'll call in my tank if my teem is winning and just get bored XD |

could be
7-0
2-5
etc...
It fluctuates but more so close to 200, usually just under.
Same here. Why waste the isk on better guns if you get paid the same?? |
