Suit and Gun Locations - Where to get your fix

Not every system sells every type of suit!

Everyone is asking this - time to consolidate - the location of anything above G1 is likely to change at random at an as yet unspecified period, but G1 locations should be stable (minority reports suggest complete randomization.) There appear to be stock limits: When you buy a suit, it reduces the inventory until there are none left, which may explain why some people go to certain places and find no stock at all.

Modified suits and weapons are limited stock - you see them disappear from sale as soon as you buy it.
Premium weapons and suits are the truly valuable items with different stats that Pioneer Supplies stores like to bring out for the most enthusiastic clients. What that means is that these premium items are unique exclusives and once purchased, they are gone. This means one Commander can buy them and then that item is no longer for sale. If you see someone suggest they got a certain premium weapon from store X they are the ONLY person to have purchased it. That item will not be available in that store should you go and investigate yourselves.

So if you see a premium weapon or suit, make sure to grab it quick before someone else snaps it up! In future we may increase the stock availability of premium items but right now these are unique exclusive items.
If you see the upgrade and do not buy it, other CMDRs are also able to see the stock and buy it. So far many pre-modified items can be found in locations with various different states - so nothing conclusive, however, factions with a state of None seem to non-exclusively yet consistently spawning upgraded items! If you find a pre-upgraded item in a system, it appears to be true that all ports in that system also hold upgraded gear. Take an Apex shuttle to these ports and check them all out, you might get the item you are looking for! ( Thanks @LutzBY )

Note: If you hold the sale page open, and another user buys the item, and then you try to buy the item, you will get a server error. You can't cheat the system!

If you stumble across an upgraded and modified Suit or Weapon and DON'T want to buy it, please share about it so that some other CMDR can get their hands on it - head over to The Great Pre-Upgraded Gear Sharing is Caring Thread

G2/G3 Equipment have been spotted everywhere. See the Great Pre-Upgraded Gear Sharing is Caring Thread for a list of stations where kit has been spotted and not yet bought. There is a refresh cycle where these locations are randomized. The length of that refresh cycle was not revealed. Kit goes very quick, so also do you need to be to get it.

Other G1 Equipment noted at these locations (not exhaustive) but Suits are Weapons are available everywhere depending on the background simulation, we just don't know yet what influences these factors. You can now search for Suits and Weapons on Inara by clicking here.

And of course a special mention: ;)
Alpha Centauri - Hutton Orbital - G5 everything and a free Anaconda! - though personal I think this might be just a vicious rumour!

E-Breaches
Oh - if you are looking for e-breaches - these are illegal items that can only be found in Anarchy or Communist (don't ask! I might be disappeared!) stations.

Where can you get your suit or weapon upgraded?
First of all, you need to increase the grade of your weapon. This can be done at any Pioneer store. Select the top option and the options to upgrade the suit or weapons appears on the right hand side.

Then you will want your modification slots filled. For this you need to find an engineer. Domino Green is the first engineer on the list and everyone know where she lives: The Jackrabbit in Orishis! In order to meet her, it is rumoured that you will need to travel 100ly by taxi. Yep! Good old Apex Travel! And then you need to find 5 units of Push.

There are 9 engineers ready to modify your kit. Little is known about the engineers at present apart from their names - go meet them, find out what they offer, then come back here and we can add it to the list!

Please share your experiences with the engineers so that we can science this stuff out!

Revealed in LiveStream
The G2 and G3 suits are limited stock and are based on the background simulation. There are G5 suits and weapons out there, but they will be hideously expensive and the cost of these upgraded suits and weapons are dependent on the type of modifications already added to the suit or weapon. The availability of these upgraded items are rotated and refreshed at an interval (he could not remember at the time, so it was not revealed.) They are more expensive the better modified they are. If you see one - you have to get it quickly or it may go.

It has been noted that items possibly respawn after the Thursday Server tick. So if you go back, you may find the modified item there again!

Post your discovery or analysis below. If the class is not mentioned, it's was not mentioned in the original post. Any analysis on the how the weapons fit in with the background simulation appreciated!

Can confirm got my G2 Dominator Suit at Lem Dock in Candiaei.

Added: Just returned to the Pioneer Store, now only G1 Dominator Suit to buy. Is this because I got my G2 already??

I am at Jameson Memorial but no one is at the desk in Pioneer Supplies... do I need to do something else before someone appears in there?

Strange. That will be a first. Perhaps he's floated off somewhere, or fallen through the floor. Try relogging.
 
Is it RNG or do they always sell the upgraded stuff?

Needs clarification ;)
The way I thought it was explained, engineered items are special stock that get re-rolled every week with the scheduled maintenance. If one Pioneer Supplies has a G3 suit one week, it'll be gone the next week, while other places that had only G1 stuff may roll something good.
