Yes or no, the forums will be set on fire.

Every time something gets changed people ask for a respec and the answer is always "no". My favorite example was the assault logi from a few months ago, where the Caldari logi suit had the ability to get insane eHP and became the standard combat suit for everyone, regardless of their intentions to fill the support role.

When CCP nerfed the logi suit back into its support role people demanded a respec and the rest of us laughed at them for wasting SP on an obviously broken mechanic.

What I'm getting at is, put your SP into what you want to do, not what is currently at the top of the metagame. If mass drivers, a weapon not seeing much use right now, are what you find interesting go ahead and invest SP there. They'll be rebalanced back into relevance eventually, and you can still have fun with them until then.

Plus even if you do throw SP into the current flavor of the month it's not like that SP is wasted. There's no cap on how much SP your character can have, so you can always get the suits and weapons you want later. Plus now you have whatever item you had before to use until then.

My issue with wanting a respec is that what I wanted to put my sp into hasn't been or wasn't made available yet at the time of spending the points.

I suspect we will get a total respec

Yes

I think they'll leave this question unanswered. Yes or no, the forums will be set on fire.

infantry respec (weapons, suits & upgrades) is inevitable with all the info we already know

This isn't comparable. These new suit bonuses are not rebalances, they're complete reworks.
Tanks are still tanks and they got a respec. Speed Hackers will no longer be speed hackers.

Vehicle overhaul was far more extensive than bonus changes. And we've had bonus changes before with no respec - less significant ones to be sure, but changes nonetheless. I DO hope that an infantry respec will be given, but it's disingenuous to suggest that the bonus changes are comparable to the vehicle rework.

Will we be getting either of these with the proposed changes to dropsuits? If no, I'm okay with that, but I would love to hear what the Devs have to say about this topic.
