I really want to buy another Merc pack, but I'm one of those people who is very money stingy, I'll always wait for something better to come around or make an excuse as to why I shouldn't buy something even though I want to. This most likely has to do with the fact that my parents were cheap bastards even though they have well more than enough to live on for a few lifetimes, plus I'm a poor college student lol
Anyway to hold off on my urge to spend another $20, i'd like to hear some ideas you'd like to see in future Merc packs.
I for one, would like to see a "Ride or Die"(Lame name?) Pack, contained in each for a low price of 19.99$ you get 50 White and Black armor enhanced LAV's and 50 "Typhoon" hyper blaster turrets and 25 low end Drop Ships that don't require any skills to use, plus 10,00 AUR to top it all off. With packs like these, it'd let players be able to tryout a little bit of everything at a price before skilling into it |

Cool thread idea! So ... I will play a little bit and name my merc pack the way I want and add possible items for it !
'Light weapons' Pack
50x fused locus grenades 1x LAV BPO ( I would like a colored LAV make mine red !) 50x 'Koles' Laser Rifle (Like the Hacked shotgun , you don't need skill tu use...) 1x Exclusive 'Templar' Amarrian Assault Dropsuit 1x Random vehicle BPO (From a table of APC's, LAV's, and even a small chance of Dropship BPO...)
ok ok , I know there must be limits to BPO's , but who doesn't love having some ? |

I like the random BPO idea, make the number of packs that actually contain a Dropsuit BPO or a prototype BPO reallly small or maybe it can be randomly generated through chance after buying the pack like you suggested? |

I like the idea of random table of items. Buuuutttt, it would cause too much trouble for CCP ... |

We need to keep BPO items within the Meta 0-1 range (i.e. Militia and Standard only) for the sake of the game (long winded post about it redacted as a rare mercy to my readers lol).
That being said I do like the idea of the random BPO, I think to avoid too much QQ a list of possible "drops" for that BPO would need to be included. Perhaps along with a friendly reminder that players will be able to trade items in the future
Beyond that I'd love to see the Headset/KBM bundle from the EU opened up so I could by one (or you know three).
Another option would be (assuming that some form of Industry is introduced to Dust) having a pack that included a random component(s) for fabrication of a BPO item. This would allow CCP to control the number of BPO items created via this method (as much as they control the number of Dragonfly suits in game) and would encourage some player interaction trading and choices (not all possible products would use all possible components).
Just some thoughts

Maybe a normal merc pack, one for every faction to try the new dropsuits before skilling into them? and some of the new guns aswell like the scrambler rifle, just to try them out before skilling into them |

People are already buying multiple ones because it is such a good deal, but....... it would be great to have ones with different equipment,
I am not much a fan of scout suits, and shotguns...... so anything else would be great. |

agreed on the Meta Levels... but that would eventually out date BPOs as a fall back, maybe that would be a good use for them, so one doesnt make a truly OverPowered suit. but if that's the case, i hope they bring in weapon attatchment allowances to these BPOs, so instead of just a regular rifle, you can scope it, or give a MINOR damage boost to it out side of skills and mods.
and the packs.. should be totally random eventually, thatway you dont know if you wasted a pile of money, or got something entirely awesome

a weapon mod system is coming. We know it includes scopes and attachments(look close at weapons, many have tac rails already). CCP refered to it as attachment/rigs/gunsmith, so I assume it will have some of the options from eve ship rigs and ghost recon gunsmithing systems.
In eve, rigs can never be removed without destroying them, so a custom bpo may be permanently changed. This would give opening for ccp to sell multiple of same bpo so people can have different custom variants.
BPO of standard varients would be fine, like a bpo breach smg. Adv, enhanced, proto, and complex items should stay one time use.
type-ii, dropship, and hav would be most powerful bpo ever released. Hav bpo would probably need to be a special edition ps4 bundle with how much it would cost, and marauders would still eat it alive. |

agreed on the Adv/proto being expensive and one shot per clone, cant have people having permanent proto or ther'd be no risk in death, and no reason for such to actually be skilled or careful.
even with my Raven Assault T-1, i am careful as all get out.. the suit and my side arm are the only perm things anymore |

Though I agree with the OP, the mercanary pack is already better to get than pretty much anything else because you get $20 worth of aurum + the other stuffs. I would like more stuff that is permanent in merc packs along with aur and boosters, I would trade the aur gear from the merc pack I got for a 30 day passive booster to go along the 30 day active booster, call it the skill up pack or something keep the bpos the same and keep the aur in there for whatever the person wants to buy. |

I like the colour suggested for tsugaru and nova knife bpo. I think it would look better with both having same colour in pack, they could release on in lime green and one in orange highlight.
This would temp me to buy both, particularly if one or both were a suit different then dragonfly. Type-I scout is better then type-II in my opinion, but there are times type 2 comes in handy, especially if available as bpo. Or if other merc packs had different races suits, the japanese clan name would fit in with caldari well, maybe a caldari scout suit? |
