actually, i can get 99/99/99 w/ 25 BAE even if armor has no base cores. once all the armor is maxcored you'll only need 13 BAE.

i find my health regen enough for my needs, especially since i have 99/99/99. also, i'm not sure what you mean about field supplies. 1 point is 15% of a clip, which will give 48 ammo per loot drop picked up.
