I just started playing EVE again after a few years absence, and one thing that caught my eye was the Mastery levels of each ship.
Let me explain to those that don't play EVE. Each ship have 5 levels of "Mastery" (each with a flashy icon), which is based purely on your current level of skills. Each level have multiple skill "requirements" to be fulfilled, divided into skill categories.
To translate this to Dust, let's take the Caldari Medium frame Dropsuite. Level I Core Upgrades [1 / 3] --> this is the skill categories with current fulfilled vs the total number of requirements - (X) Dropsuite Core Upgrades I --> this is the skill list "requirements" to obtain Level I Mastery - ( ) Electronics I - ( ) Engineering I Dropsuite Command [1 / 1] - (X) Caldari Medium Frame
Level II Core Upgrades [0 / 4] - ( ) Dropsuite Core Upgrades II - ( ) Electronics II - ( ) Engineering I - ( ) active scanner I Dropsuite Command [0 / 1] - ( ) Caldari Medium Frame II
And so on... (Please note the above examples were just taken from the top of my head )
This system gave me (in EVE) something to strive for more than just, ohhhh I can use this ship / dropsuite. It also gave me some serious pointers of where I probably want to spend my skill points to make the most of my ship, which can be great for new people. Of course, EVEs skill system is much more complex than Dust, so there is more you can do with it (more interesting combinations), but I believe Dust could implement something similar but simpler.

Could go either in the "Show Info" panel of dropsuits, weapons, etc, or in the Skills/Character Sheet panel.
I believe it's located under "Show Info" panel on ships in EVE, in the top header (it is just an icon showing your current Mastery level). When you select (klick) the symbol it shows a new window with all Mastery levels and their prerequisites, including green check marks of the ones you already furfilled.
I think a similar system in Dust should only be applicable on dropsuites and vehicles, since modules can be a bit tricky.
And who knows, they can even link this feature to future Trophies |
