The cost of militia gear is so cheap it hardly really matters tbh. Starter LAVs just need their pre-buff HP so the can be TK'd with a single advanced grenade. I'm in favor of removing the starter LAV BPO though. For those that get one through a Merc pack, no problem.

Those fits are so laughably bad there is literally no reason to charge.

My all militia fit on my 0 SP alt only costs about 2k per death and is leaps and bounds better than those garbage fit.

Silly idea is silly

Even cheap there's still consequences to throwing away militia gear that has even a simple psychological effect if not one on your wallet.

Throw away a non-starter militia set and you still see your stock drop with each death instead of just seeing an infinity symbol, you still have to restock those losses and even at the slight cost consider what you could have better spent those funds on.

And your alt's 2k militia set still doesn't cover the problem with unlimited free murder taxi's that this system could also address, unless it's standard for people to spend 30-40k a vehicle to recklessly plow their murder taxi's into the middle of enemy lines.

Im against it its bad enough it will take new players a very long time to even get competitive and since they akready have low isk and sp as it is when they start out it will be bad for them to have to start wprrying about item loss especially when they graduate from the academy they wont stand a chance so unlimited militia sets is all they will have untill they can upgrade their gear

Having a free and infinite supply of starter sets is a bit much, its supports a concept of spamability and reckless use.

There needs to be a visible consequence when you throw away a clone using a starter set to promote more survival and tactical based game play.

For instance say that rather than having an infinite supply you have a limit of X many of each set per match. Now this supply can restock itself after each match but it still gives consequences to players actions.

If someone makes reckless assaults on an enemy position over and over again they'll see their supply dwindle and perhaps begin thinking strategically, they'll move with other players to increase their chances of survival rather than playing as a lone wolf that just needs to spawn another free starter set when they get ambushed alone.

Similarly you can take care of the spamming of free LAV's by applying the same system. With a limited supply of free LAV's per match someone can try playing murder taxi but if they're too reckless they'll quickly find themselves trying to bum a ride with someone else until the next game.

How "good" the sets are doesn't mean crap. Having an infinite supply still promotes new players to play recklessly because they never have to worry about running out and leaves other players with guilt free suicide run sets.

What would happen if the person died enough times to exhaust their supply of "free" fits for that match? Highly hypothetical question but what if somebody didn't have any other fits available? They have just started playing this game and do not understand how to make fits and so have just been using the starter fits.
