I would say that the suits should just be better and it wouldn't matter . Look at the advanced shield extenders for instance , they run you double the programming and computer usage but doesn't give you double the shield power because if they did for instance then you would receive 44 not 33 and it's really not worth the trouble .
It just seems like the Prototype gear is the standard and everything is like garbage . The prototype is the only thing that works like it is suppose to and everything else take too much skill , computer and programming usage , also it give one little in the way of performance . It's like just enough for you to die two seconds later than basic or militia . While prototype gives one eight seconds .
Prototypes should be more of a struggle to obtain because it actually works and gives one a decisive advantage but making it cost more is just flat out stupid . Look a the prices of the Enforcers for instance . They are Four or five times the cost of a Gunnlogi and Madrugar and yes they are better but they have less in the way of computer and programming usage and along with the turrets one will go broke unless one brings them out like the changing of the seasons . That's once every three to four months . That's why when I see one and it gets hit that driver usually doesn't let it get to half on the damage before they recall it .

They took our feedback mostly to heart with vehicles (but not for vehicle engineering sadly) in terms of skill modifiers, and reduced the pre-reqs from getting basic suits 5 to basic suits 3 in order to hit specs.
We couldn't convince them to lower the modifers then, so this is probably a vain effort.
I support this thread, however much that counts for though. Cheers for the reply and heads up mate. It's a pity CCP wishes to ration their content so tight.
They want you to be interested , that's why they " ration " their content . The phrase that pays is , " I can't wait for this and I can't wait for that " because now you have time to contemplate about what you next move should be . Have you ever given someone something that they did not expect and noticed that most of the time they have a blank look on their face before their eyes light up ??? Then what do they do next ??? Something that they would have not done if they had given the situation some thought instead of going off of impulse . Then most of the time they wish they had a doo over .
They want to keep you on your toes by giving you tidbits and making you aware so your mind can process and make the best choices for yourself .
People complain about suits but if they were just over all better then all this would be moot . Caldari suits need to have better strength of shields as well as recharge rate , Minmatar suits should increase speed , jumping ability and stamina , Amarr suits should be the strongest overall and Gallente suits should have armor strength . But their features should stand out and accent their differences . So if your shooting a Gallente for instance , if you happen to knock out their shields then it should be a task to do the same to their armor because of it's strength . For a Caldari that should be reversed . You shouldn't be able to just knock out their shield so easily . And so on for the rest of the races . It's not like that though .
There are slots that are suppose to bring about this belief in the differences besides the looks but there are NO noticeable differences . And that's where the problems are in this , there are No real differences in the suits beyond the slot difference. The suits should preform differently and you can keep the skill tree the same because the actual differences in the suits will bring about a noticeable change and yes , race wise they will be the same but that's where the mods will come into play and create a " real since of customization " because now the only differences besides the races and the looks are just the slots that one receives but the overall performance of the suits are all the same . These differences should be built in to the suits .
Then most wouldn't mind what they would have to do because now it has become personalized . Right now its all the same if you really look at it .

1) Decrease the SP sink for all proto suits, so people get to play more variants:
- Make it easier to try different suits & keep gameplay varied
Why do you need to go full proto to try new things? All you need to go to is level 1 which is fast and easy to try something out. Advanced is more than enough to hold you off in any pub match. You've got to be willing to grind that SP if you really want to take a suit all the way to level 5. The idea that Proto is the only way to be successful is a scrubby idea.
Advanced is more than enough ??? Your whole statement is FALSE !!!! You can't tell someone that they should go level 1 to try something out and advanced is more than enough , I'm sure that you have played this game long enough to know that's wrong on both counts and I wouldn't give that advice to ANYONE who is trying this game out to begin with . That's not being truthful . He said that he has a prototype suit already and wants another but the grind for the second one is too much .
Prototype IS part of the experience and though I don't agree that it's too much of a grind , I wouldn't agree with you either . You need skills and plenty of them in every aspect of this game to be successful . That's the key , success and not trying to rack up points , meaning you find these people who's only goal is to rack up points and not to WIN and have SUCCESS . Yes you need points to do so but for me , I would rather have victories instead because I've had games that I had twenty kills and two deaths and lost because my team mates were concentrated on points and not the GOAL OF WINNING . Success , that's should be the main goal and advanced or basic would just not give that to anyone or just be enough .
Not in this game , with these players .
