Good suggestions. I'd like more information on applied bonuses for basic frames and racial suits. Are you suggesting that skilling into a light frame provides bonuses that are used by the racial tier above?

I see now. Skilling into light frames would hold no bearing on the reduction (a base 25% as you say). Going further into scout skills tree path would be what adds to this fitting reduction, just at a 10% increase per level.
I like this. Now if only basic frames were cheaper than their racial variants.

I like this. Now if only basic frames were cheaper than their racial variants. The idea is more of a "Do I want to try cloaks?" before having to throw points into it rather than "why go Scout if I can just use a frame?" Taking a 300k SP risk to see if you like cloak + scout is a pretty big risk. If you have near 30 million SP, no big deal. If you don't like it, you have lots of other stuff to do. If you have 5 million SP, 300k SP is a huge investment to try something.
Then again that argument could be made for creating a burner alt account with 500,000 sp to test a character. All you need is to transfer ISK to a character or build it up in academy.
Edit: Realistically, not many new players are going to understand and pick up on this aspect of alt creation right away in Dust.

Also there is a desire for more high end skills; cloaks are by far the first amongst the things to train for after you 'max out' your suit similar to how people train up proficiencies with their gun after they 'max' that out too.
Yes, I do hope the aspects of basic frames will be addressed better in Legion, and still in Dust.
