In order to equip GA1 at lvl 15 you'll need a lot more than 19 ncu :). You'll need more like 160 to 170ish for all the buffs, which is why it is rather numbing to consider. I have a lvl 15 solitus grid armor fixer, and I'll try to give a quick rundown of what it takes. NCU is really the biggest issue to overcome. To get up to 171 ncu, I equipped a 4x belt and QL 79 mem chips (23 ncu each), a Ring of Nucleus Basalis (20 ncu), Crypt collar (30 ncu) and a full set of QL44 carb armor (21 ncu) with 8 base ncu to start with. You'll have to go in phases implanting various skills alternately to get all that on. You will probably want to start with implanting computer literacy, get as high as you can, throw on a 3 slot belt, then implant treatment to get the Nucleus ring up to 20 ncu. Now with more space for buffs, go back to complit, get on a 4x belt and some big chips. Then I went for bio met implants (70 to 75ish)- to equip the crypt collar. Had to max biomet skill, plus BM Mochams, 132 wrangle, NS, and I think I even needed the intelligence pistols, and some pieces of the Omni executive suit for the last couple points. That should take care of the ncu, now you can put in your permanent implants. I ended up with 90's for weapon implants (at least anything that was stamina based) and 76-81 for the nanoskills implants. You really have to be careful when you go to cast the armor and start wearing it. In order to put on GA you have to take off all the buffing equipment (since GA is social armor) and you really don't want to go through that again if your wrangle runs out before you've gotten your armor on. Once you get the wrangle, you'll have three minutes to cast the armor- unequip all your carb armor, rings, and crypt collar- and get the grid armor on. If you have a nice trader you may want to get two wrangles in a row, so it's less of a time cruch. As for buffs to cast it, you'll need a 131 wrangle, and a few MP buffs- three masteries/infuses depending how you've implanted (I believe I needed MC infuse, and MM, TS Mast
