Knocking on 20 mill SP here and so I think I could be classified as a vet. Here's a pearl of wisdom that has been finely refined over the course of my merc career: spec into what you want to play, not FotM.

Seriously...if people did this you wouldn't need respecs. I'm full on proto gallente logibro with every single skill under DS core upgrades maxed, now I'm moving on to vehicle core upgrades and will be a gallente LLAV and LDS pilot (the power of OCD compells me to train whatever has 'logistics'on it). I have ALL of my SP 100% exactly where I want it, and I know exactly where the next 6 months of SP is going (literally, I have the list of skills ordered by priority :P). I love my merc and have no insecurity over my SP allocation.

You guys aren't getting respecs...you need to let go of this dead horse and just smarten up. Cool

You misunderstand the concept..... We still have yet to attain what was initially presented & promised at launch. An example of this would be the Pilot Dropsuit. As a Vehicle Pilot I am personally at odds with this situation as I have been driven off the path to my initial goal due to lacking said content, and even diminishing/removal of content (IE: Removal of Black Ops "Prototype" HAVs & Prototype "Advanced" HAVs). So in order to maintain ample functionality on the battlefield via dropsuit option I have specialized into Minmatar Logistics, thus making use of the SVER BPO.

It may be argued that the Minmatar Logistics specialization was a "Choice", yet what of the Scouts and Heavies who have been presented with no such option??? Is it "Fair" that the Medium Dropsuit specializers not only were provided such options, but were presented with a Respec twice to feel out their newfound options??? (I know this because I went from Caldari Tanker to Caldari Logistics to Gallente Tanker in a matter of roughly 1-2 Months "post-launch".....)

It may also be stated that 1 of those 2 Respecs were based upon the changes to the skill tree. But.....isn't it blatantly obvious that the skill tree will once again be altered/revamped??? With the issue of majorly altered bonuses, lacking of bonuses & function (IE: Level 4-5 of Dropsuit Command, Vehicle Mobility, etc. having no unlock nor associated bonus, thus creating a TRUE "SP Sink), and overall misintegration after the separation of Dropsuit & Vehicle Skill Sectors.....I forsee indefinite and extreme skill tree revamping in the near future. So is this not a justification for an intended Respec???

I'm glad you selfishly enjoy your unintended launch content Respec into Gallente Logistics, and I applaud your contentness with your "Choice" considered the fact you would have initially been stuck with the SVER BPO, Logistics Starter Fit, or at max Logistics vk0/vk1 (vk1 being essentially Minmatar Logistics *GASP*). But to you I say this "Dead Horse" has in fact "Smartened Up", and you have thusly been deemed Irrelevant. Thank you for not contributing to this discussion, your feedback is not welcome.

PS: You are not a Vet unless you were in Closed BETA for quite some time (E3/Replication for example. You are simply a Seasoned Newberry Twisted

PS: You are not a Vet unless you were in Closed BETA for quite some time (E3/Replication for example. You are simply a Seasoned Newberry If CCP deem a respec necessary due to skill tree revamp etc, that's fine. What isn't is short sighted noobs speccing into short sighted areas that they don't really care for (FotM). The lack of dropsuit variants is part and parcel of being into a game that is a work in progress. If you wanta completed product, go buy a retail FPS game, CCP doesn't owe you anything. Well, I'm a happy merc, you're not...so I win. With each game I move further along with my training goals while you sit here hoping for that which will probably not happen (though you may catch a lucky break via CCP warranting respec). Also, I have been here since E3 build.
