If you look at most MMORPG games, the way they balance the population is through levels, and gear. They introduce new tiers of gear every season, and make the previous tier easier to obtain. The gear is also tiered into different levels.
What we do, is introduce a dust ranking system 'grunt > private > merc ... Etc' based on total SP. We then introduce a tier stronger than prototype, and make the current prototype gear easier to obtain. Logically, things never advance passed a prototype unless they are flawed, meaning the product is removed / scrapped, or put into full production.
Doing this will require changing names of tiers from standard advanced prototype, to actual names such as the ishukone G-1 for a gallente medium suit. And ishukone GA1 for the level one assaul medium suit etc. More imagination required for these names.
In order to keep people motivated to get the next suit, the current tiers receive a small nerf every season. OR we keep increasing the gap between new and end game suits, however there ranks will be essential for this to balance out.

its either separate the players by ranks even with this low player count or continue to kill the playercount by matching up new players with vets.

What do you mean by "Based on total SP."

Eh, no.
This means every 'season' you nedd new stats and slot layouts plus new colour schemes and in general alot of work.
What happens in 12 seasons time, we have minmatar dropsuits with 64 slots?
Creating new tiers of gear every couple of months, is an illogical idea.
It also doesn't actually solve the problem as mlt level blueberries will be less than happy whe they encounter a
'Super-Deadeye-Imperial-Captain-of-the-battalion-of-legendary-awsomeness' with more EHP than a mlt tank.
No, the first solution to NPE is to stop putting mlt level blueberries fresh out of their first match, where they did alright against other mlt newberries against full stacked proto squads. We need a METRIC-BASED-MATCHMAKING system. That pairs people off based on their average performance. If someone is truly poor at this game they should NEVER see the likes of DNS, WTF, or Eon or whoever, if when they are in proto, if they are that bad they get put against others who are that bad.
After that you require a Story Driven Campaing based tutorial, that introduces you to everhthing both mechanics and lore wise.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

Oh look: Niyan San giving advice about 'improving' NPE. LMAO. This is a novelty.
Oh wait, are you just asking to increase the proto to uber-proto? Proto stomps are getting boring eh?

That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.
