I've brought this up a couple of times before but it has never really gotten the traction it needed to get the dev's attention. I'm hoping that this time is the time.
There are currently many skills with dead levels, ones that provide no bonus and merely act as a sp sink. Now while I have no problem with skills having high sp/benefit ratios to make them difficult to obtain I do have an issue with levels that are worthless.
Equipment skills are heavily effected by this issue, with many of them providing no benefit at levels 2 and 4. In order to combat this issue all skills should provide some small bonus that alters the use of an item.
Lets take active scanners as an example:
Currently: Level 1 (use basic scanners), Level 3 (use advanced scanners), Level 5 (use proto scanners)
Linked bonus option #1: +1% scan range per level
Linked bonus option #2: +1-¦ scan angle per level
Notice that these bonuses are small, only 1% or 1-¦ but either would make it feel like you were getting someting for every level of the skill. Levels 2 and 4 wouldn't feel great, you wouldn't be like I can't wait to get that extra 1% or 1-¦ but you wouldn't feel like you've thrown your sp away like you do under the current system.
Similar bonuses can be applied to every other skill with dead levels. Keeping the bonuses small should also minimize an potential chance of making a item/skill OP. If the bonus seems too small to actually provide a benefit to game play then it can be boosted at a later date as warranted. Remember CCP players are like children, we love gifts even tiny ones but taking something away from us is going to result in plenty of tears. |

I agree with this too.
I actually like this taken further. To the point where you upgrade a skill to get a bigger bonus and unlocking extra equipment is just a side benefit rather than the other way around. That'd take a lot of fiddling though. |
