In terms of all the other weapons in the game, the A-series amps are extremely unbalanced. By reducing the drop rate to a mere trickle and letting the resellers price them out of the range of a lot of players, it might level the playing field finally for melee hunters and BLP.
Even without an amp or with an E-Amp 11 (which has better eco than the (L) amps if they have any markup), a good number of laser SIB (L) weapons are substantially more economical than other classes of SIB weapons. With an A-series amp it's not even close.
I am a bit puzzled why the (L) amps are such a poor option. I think we'll be seeing better (L) amps and unlimited BPs for them soon, to take up the slack.
In the absence of that, the most basic E-amp has an eco over 4.0 and the same damage as the A102. That may become the new A102 for the next generation.
