CCP needs to do it all at once, and then definitively say "no more".

I sort of agree with you, but I can see CCP giving an infantry only respec with 1.8 and then say "no more." This is because all the racial dropsuits will be out, along with the four core racial rifles and CCP will deem that enough core content for infantry. And then for vehicles, they are all unlocked with a general skill instead of a specific racial skill so I can see them not offering a respec for those.

We won't have the racial heavy weapons though. You can't respec the weapons without heavy weapons being addressed. Which means you impact the suits as well (most likely). Needs to be done at once in my opinion.

When they redesigned the vehicle tree many, including myself, found it odd that you don't have to spec into Caldari or Galentte individually, but just into HAVs, dropships, or LAVs. However, if you wanted to offer a one time large scale respec after you drop the new suits but not again when you drop the new racial vehicles, this makes perfect sense. That way, months from now, when the new Amarr and Minmatar Tanks , or whatever, come out, noone needs to cry for a respec. Just a thought.

I just noticed how it was "respec-proof" considering the future racial variants. I don't think it would be a bad thing if they did, but I wouldn't want them to sacrifice any depth for that. I don't really think it necessary if these are all the dropsuits except pilot suits. Agrios Endendros Heavy Haruko Endendros AV Logi ~ Canti Endendros Pilot ~ Zero Endendros Support Logi

Silly to ask for one before them. Once these are out - a one time respect for all players, and then no more respecs, period. I think the suits are a little more import than those other things listed and warrants a respec sooner. The suit skills really define a playstyle. We already have a player base size issue and after all the work people put into skilling a playstyle, if they are now unable to play that way for the months or YEARS until ALL weapons and other things are out, we might just lose them altogether to another game they actually want to play.

Additionally, I'd appriciate if loser, scammer, liar, douchebags like yourself didn't comment on my threads. Suck it, ass monkey.

You can't respec the weapons without heavy weapons being addressed. Which means you impact the suits as well (most likely). Needs to be done at once in my opinion. While I agree that weapons are important, I don't think they are as important as the suits for affecting overall playstyle. I think it would be very easy once all weapons are released, to just offer a weapon only respec or something at this point. To a degree, many of the weapons can be used on many different suits and with many different playstyles. I have a feeling that it will be quite a while until we see "all" weapons, if that process even ever actually ends. I don't want to lose players whose playstyles are being removed and don't want to wait forever for CCP to finish the game to get that back. Also, I don't think the release of new weapons would be a good enough reason for a respec; however, changing all existing weapons to operate differently, like they are doing with the suits right now, would be a good reason.
