They can't do this. If pilots got their infantry SP back as well and dedicated infantry didn't, the (former) pilots would be able to put all their SP into an optimum infantry fitting.
For instance, a 20mil SP pilot would be able to become an optimized 20mil SP FOTM infantryman, an option denied to a 20mil SP dedicated infantryman (who would have their points stuck in all sorts of currently non-competitive stuff).
It would hardly be reasonable for people who put their SP into vehicles to acquire a decisive advantage as infantry. The only fair way to do this would be a full respec for every merc. |

I have a nice missile maddy that I'd like to trade in for a nicer missile gunni but I don't have enough SP in vehicles to do it with the new tree. that is if I only get back what I have invested in vehicles, however if I could dip into the useless scout's sp sink I could afford it.
your wording is a little vague, could you please clarify?
It's not vague at all:
CCP wrote:we will be performing a full vehicle skill tree respec (and skill book ISK refund) for anyone that has skill points invested into the Vehicle and Turret skill trees (Vehicle Command, Vehicle Upgrades and Turret Operation).
Your scout skills are not in the vehicle tree, thus they will not be refunded. |

Reading between the lines:
CCP Frame wrote:we will be performing a full vehicle skill tree respec (and skill book ISK refund) for anyone that has skill points invested into the Vehicle and Turret skill trees (Vehicle Command, Vehicle Upgrades and Turret Operation). This is to allow vehicle users the choice between fully specing vehicles (if they're OP) or fully specing the new rifles (if they're OP). We are arbitrarily denying this option to current infantry (90%+ of the playerbase), who can go **** themselves. |

Players have told you to do a full respec. The CPM has told you to do a full respec. Yet CCP refuses, because as usual CCP knows best and would rather treat their players like ****.
Pilots can skill out of vehicles if they don't like the vehicle changes, but infantry can't skill into vehicles if they do like the vehicle changes. What kind of treatment is that?
That's also just the main reason to do a full respec, there are other minor reasons supporting one, so not doing a full respec is so idiotic and I seriously can't believe this is how you choose to treat your players.
Wake up CCP.
Yep, it sucks for infantry and for most vehicle users (who have points trapped in infantry and need them for the new vehicle skill tree). The only people who benefit are people bailing out of vehicles and going full infantry - so it achieves the exact opposite of the 'live with your choices' mantra. At least a full respec wouldn't make people committed to their roles disadvantaged relative to those who've changed their minds. |
