Any significant changes to GPvP in the last few months? I've only played one match in the last day or two since returning, and it didn't seem that different (except my engineer's turrets stayed around after death, so that was interesting). I know that there's fleet gear - how essential is it? Is the STF stuff better?
Engineer toys despawn on kit change (but not on death). Cloak can no longer be stacked; however, perfect cloak is still possible with Covert and Operative, and invisibility can still be attained at medium range with Covert and Omega Shroud. The Cryo Pulsewave, because it loopholes all the resistances in the game, has essentially invalidated every other pulsewave in the game, and has huge balance and gameplay ramifications because, for all but engineer, its superbuffed oneshot is essentially unsurvivable. Fleet Advanced weapons are excellent, although not good enough to warrant replacing your Maco or Omega gun. Fleet Elite weapons are slightly better than they were at the start, but still inferior to Advanced weapons. Fleet armor and shields are better than non-Fleet armor and shields, but unquestionably inferior to MACO and Omega. The Stasis Pistol is the unbalanced and buggy P2W flavor of the week.
