Every example of tiericide I've read about on these forums or bantered about with friends still had some sort of difference with more sp, maybe less difference but still there. now if you have no difference with sp how is this game different than any other shooter? All MMOs have advantages given due to experience. Most solve this discrepancy by having different levels of activities to coincide with level of a character. I understand EVE does this with high sec, null sec, etc... Thus I think completely flattening things makes Dust less unique and the solution is to give "high level players" more to do than pub stomp and give new players away to catch up to vets (PvE and roll over SP caps are examples of ways to do this). End game activities that aren't stupid and broken for vets

Yeah Faction can not be "low sec" at the moment because without a player market and no ISK payout most people have to run Pub matches to pay for their FW. PC doesn't work as "null sec" because of the reasons you listed and there is no room there for the independent contractor or 5 guys who are friends in a small corp together but have a ton of SP. I like the lowered timer, we also need some tools like Eve has (I think) where a toon and/or players reputation or something could be tracked. If you have only an hour to scrape together a team but had a place where you can find reliable mercs outside your corp to help you fight....that would be a better "endgame" IMO
