Nice work

I'm thinking about it since long but i'm lazy+bad at math

I think to kill the phantasm or the fog of war about the gap of power between players at differents states of developpment, it could be interesting to do a graphic with a little image of a dust soldier of various sizes to show overall power of a grunt at : (for example)
at start
after one week of play
after one month of play
after 6 months of play
after 1 year of play

considering :
the guy play one hour daily and dont use booster nor buy aurum
- invest in skills at 50% that raise damages
- invest in skills at 50% that raise hit points

The size would be proportionnal to the average number we would get between total hp and dps

and of course giving overall (reasonable) price of the fitting the guy will use at the various level of his evolution

it could kill or lower the general idea that people can have about the game : "it's pay to win" / "you can't catch up"

Well, that'll be a bigger project but for now I do have a line graph showing the disparity between paying for boosters and not paying for boosters over a six month period =D

Edit: Huh. Not sure why it decided to format one line's number values but not the other. I'll fix that right quick.

thought active boosters did not raise cap so I fail to see how they can be a factor unless you are adding in some extra post-cap grind games to both sides?

True, they don't raise the cap - but you receive an additional 50% extra from each match. This means that the cap (190,400 SP a week) is not raised, rather a bonus of 95,200 SP is applied.

True, they don't raise the cap - but you receive an additional 50% extra from each match. This means that the cap (190,400 SP a week) is not raised, rather a bonus of 95,200 SP is applied. Basically 285,700 per week active SP with booster and 252,000 passsive SP per week with booster if you stop playing when you cap. Add in the 42,000 maxed out log in bonus per week and you can get a grand total of 579,700 SP per week. So if you run boosters for six months you can have two different Proto suits and two different Proto weapons and alot of your core skills maxed out. Without boosters you're only going to have one suit and weapon at Proto. Moral of the story is buy boosters, lol. Nice work on the graphs. Thanks.
