Item Store

Thanks for clarifying - I wasn't aware of how the Item Store worked.

As I said Gear/equipment is store only. But at some point they mentioned you can also buy things like guns in it. So the idea was that if you weren't lucky and couldn't get it in a pack you could buy it in the store. Don't know if kits will also be included.

I seriously hope they put characters on the item store.

Please Bioware.

I see them on my app but when I fire up xb they are not listed in the item store

are there gear levels? for instance, on your thermal clip gear, does it say if its level I ?
And while we're on it, looks like mission funds are a scarce resourse, what would you recommend spending them early on? I've hired my second strike team for 40 funds I believe and now Im thinking what to invest next, currently I have 60 funds, I might save them for the juggernaut shield gear (altough shields got nerfed hard by the looks of it, long gone are the days of having >1k shields, let alone a kroguard with 1.8k barriers)

The gear doesn't have a level indicator, and that's about all I know about it so far.

As far as strike teams, I've mostly rolled mission funds back into new teams, and I have four teams right now.  It feels like a good number.  In the app I've pretty much always got a team ready when a mission comes up, but at the same time they're not sitting around idle very much.  I might eventually buy another team, or some strike team gear, not sure yet.  I should easily be able to afford the juggernaut shield before it expires, though, and have some extra for whatever else shows up. 

Agreed, I've got three teams at the moment and about 180 in missions funds. I'd say 3-4 teams would be a good way to get a steady supply of funds going.

Equipment.

Thermal Clip gives you 75% more ammo, Juggernaut Shield gives you 10% shield and 75% melee damage.

Bought both of them on PC. So seems to be related the console versions then.

As for the other topic, I only have two teams and seem to be able to clear all the missions if I do the ones I can manually. Will get 4 so I don't need to micro it as much.
