This was more prevalent before Uprising, where you got a "X% whatever per level" on pretty much all the equipment skills, for example.
Unlocks are nice and all, but skills are ultimately more rewarding (and seem less pointless in interim levels) when they confer some sort of bonus on the user for levels/mastery. Even fitting bonuses are "something", but many skills don't even give that. It also makes the "skill" and SP spent still valuable even if you've not using the PRO level gear and such (because the lower stuff is easier to fit or whatever).
Anyhow, this isn't complicated idea I don't think, since it's present on many skills already and many had bonuses prior to uprising. Just throw some bonuses on the rest of them. |

At least for the unlocks that give you ITEMS.
It's stupid that I go from level 3 to 4 in active scanners for it to do absolutely nothing for me.
Even something simple like "reduces cpu cost" would work well for these things.
And don't even get me started about dropsuit upgrades level 5. Literally the most pointless skill in the game. |

Dropsuit command tops out at 3, right? You get medium, light, and heavy by that point... |

+1. I've been saying this for a while. I'm pretty sure it's at least on CCP'S looooooong list of things to do though. But who knows when we'll actually see it. |

Absolutely. It also helps get rid of the dead skills like dropsuit command 4 and 5 which do nothing at all.
Actually, I feel that the skill tree and SP system in general could use some streamlining but this would be a good fix, at least for now. |

This is needed, and would mean that there would actually be a reason to invest SP in skills rather than just shoot for the top tier skills. What did happen in closed beta that made CCP remove those buffs from skills that unlock stuff? |

If I had to guess, I'd assume it's like the secondary weapon skills. They made them individual to the weapons with the thinking that they could be customized to suit the weapons. However, they put that actual process on the backburner/to-do list.
I figure they decided they were going to change/rebalance those skills (maybe to things that aren't fitting related since a lot of the uprising changes focused on squeezing players on fitting) and didn't get around to adding the replacement skills. |

I agree with the OP as well and have started several threads about this very topic already. I feel like even small % bonuses (1%/level or so) would make the grind much more rewarding. |

I think the #1 priority on CCP's roadmap is to release the roadmap.PS2 has an interactive roadmap feature that actually works very well.
