See, in EVE, flying ships is what you do. On the ground, in Dust, you could use vehicles or be infantry. We have the choice between the two. In EVE, you do one thing.

There's going to be people that want to completely skill out of vehicles for whatever reason. Their capabilities are being nerfed pretty hard, and AV is being nerfed only commensurate with how much vehicles are being nerfed. So I feel rightly that they should be able to reclaim the SP they put into vehicles. I know I'm going to need all my SP back to skill up all the turrets, and both hulls. I'll have some left over for whenever they announce the pilot suits.

People that want and I feel are the problems. We aren't looking at is best for the game we are trying for things that make us feel better.

In EVE like in DUST we are a person and much like in DUST the job we do defines what ship we are flying. In DUST you start in a merc quarters and EVE you are in the captain"s quarters or hanger. Those are very similar. In DUST you put on your suit or sit in vehicle to do your job. Similar. Your job is fighting and you do that wearing a suit or in a vehicle. Hits both. In EVE you train a skill to fly a ship and in DUST you train a skill to wear a suit or be a pilot for a ship. Pretty much the same. In EVE pilots move from frigate to destroyer to cruiser to battlecruiser to battleship and to Capitals, while in DUST we move from light to medium to heavy to LAV to HAV and then on to Dropships. That was a very similar progression. I can do more if you like.

CCP will release all racial dropsuits at the same time, and offer a respec. Or, they will add in racial vehicles as well, and do it then. Respec is soon, watch for it. Words / Vids / OSG

I don't understand why you're assuming that they'd have to manually reset each persons skills by hand in order to do this. It's not out of the question I think to assume that they have a system in place that could handle the transition for them. Because I was here for the last many respecs, and each time, unless it was an entire reset, devs had to go in by hand. You submitted a ticket, and waited between a week to a month and a half as CCP went through each account and issued the respec. When the ISK debacle happened, CCP had to go into every persons account by hand and fix the issues that way. This would happen if specific skill trees were reset, since they couldn't just respec the entire character. Way too much time for that, when most players know respecs are entirely valid until all core assets and skills are in game. Respecs are something CCP has expressed great interest in via paid skillback boosters, so to think a respec is out of the question is naive, I'm just trying to use past experience to shed some light on potential future decisions.

Wait Did you seriously just compare going from frigate to capitals as going from light to dropships..... What...the ****...are you smoking? Words / Vids / OSG
