a lot has changed since Uprising 1.0 ... i sort of think things like them dropping the basic frame prereq from V to III was what they ended up deciding to do with respect to this issue.
The "soon" elements of those changes already happened, but the "later" part has not. I think looking at suits/bonuses as a practice just got mothballed along with so many other things (you could make a pretty big list of would-be changes at this point) as successive patches had bug counts, stability, etc. halting forward progress. In any event, that particular thread was about suit balance issues, not the Logi-role SP barrier, which was solved in the manner you suggested. |

Not like that.
Medium Jovian Frame:
+X Adhesion with Sticky Wicket Weaponry Per Level
&
+X Suit whatsit Per Level
Then,
Jovian Assault:
+X Banjo Fever Per Level
or
Jovian Logistics:
+X Sexual Healing Per Level
The "basic" frame is the "base" for that race, and you'd get those bonuses to whatever rank you have Medium Jovian Frames when you're wearing the "specialized" frames.
So, if you got Jovian Frames to 3, and went to assault from there and took it to 5 (Like people do now):
When wearing the STD Jovian Assault BPO you won in the tournament, you'd get these bonuses:
+3X Adhesion with Sticky Wicket Weaponry and Suit Whatsit
+5X Banjo Fever
Alternatively, "moving to the suits" could be a more literal EVE-ish interpretation where the suits become vessels for skill bonuses. That is, when you look at the skill tree, you won't see any passives listed for suits or roles. The description would just be "Skill with Medium Jovian frames" or "Skill with Jovian Assault frames". The suits themselves would indicate the bonuses. Imagine reading the suit text to see:
+X Sexual Healing Per Rank of Jovian Assault Suits
...and so on. That means they could introduce new class bonuses anytime they wanted by releasing a new suit, since the suit just put a bonus into effect based on your skills - the skills themselves don't need to be changed. |
