Those against a respec are patently insane. They have no valid argument against one.

I've made the argument in favor of a respec multiple times.

This is one of the few instances where the FOTM argument doesn't apply (I am big time proponent of that argument, btw... Those flaylock wielding cal logis can suck it...). Racial parity is the only legitimate reason for one.

Dropsuit skills should be refunded, no question.

Core upgrades, a decent argument could be made either way. IMO core skills are never really wasted, but whatever.

Weapons.... Hmm.. I'm not sure about weapons. I'm inclined to say no because it should wait until more racial weapons come out. Mostly I think that once the remaining heavy weapons come out, that's the right time. Each race has a pretty decent selection of light weapons right now and tbh they are not nearly the SP sink that dropsuit or core skills are.
