If so, we'd have gotten five respecs in the last two years. These sorts of changes will ALWAYS happen in an MMO, because balance and redesign will ALWAYS happen. Please explain to me when the last time EVE had such a wide spread change (every single ship in the game getting a change at the same time)? The ship changing roles that happened in EVE were done on ships that either A) were already not used. OR B) considered buff/balance. No ship got its role completely changed except one or two (logi frigs/cruisers)
To relate your situation to EVE the change currently happening in Dust would be equivalent to a change to Titans in which they are not longer functional in their current role (say remove jump portals) and a new ship was released that would take 5 months to get the required SP for that does that job instead. You would hear a massive uproar in the EVE community over such a change. And thats with just a single ship. Imagine if that was for every ship people could use. There is a reason CCP is waiting to balance capitals last.

Why wasn't there a full respec in 1.3?
A balance pass is not the same a role changes. Swarms can still kill tanks, just not as easily and I know plenty of people who use the Flaylock too with deadly effectiveness. How much SP does it take to get swarm launchers, most people probably spend <1mil SP on them and the side upgrades don't directly effect their play style.
How much does it take to get into a prototype suit. 2.5 million, several months of hitting cap every week without a booster.
Im fine with a dropsuit skill refund at minimum. But some people have spent exactly what they need to be effective. Someone that has 5 million SP (new player) needs the respect WAAAY more than a vet.
