So you're syaing it is unfair that the Scola trained and rather 'elite' specialists (Commissar and Storm Trooper) starts with good quality items (what with them being the elite soldier of the guard and the symbolic Political officer that's basically a beacon of imperial might) alongside the Tech-priest ( part of the ones controlling all tehcnology) the psyker (Terra-trained) and the Ratling (who is a sniper where every, and all, shot counts)
Uhhh, no I'm not, and I have absolutely no idea how you would have come to that conclusion from my post.
What I was trying to say is that having a Common quality item is not a liability, it's not "moving the problem around instead of fixing it" because Good Quality items are nowhere near universal at chargen. And specially when such item is the very best set of armor available to the Guard. A Common Quality Storm Trooper Carapace is, by definition, of superior quality and craftmanship than a Good Enforcer Carapace by simple virtue of being a superior item, just as even a Poor Quality Astartes Power Armour would be light years more fine and advanced than even Best Quality Storm Trooper Carapace.
Even if they had Common Quality Storm Trooper Carapace and even a Common Quality Hellgun, the Storm Trooper would still be carrying the best equipment available.
