I think it is safe to say that we explicitly and specifically do not want a 'complex' skill progression; what we DO explicitly and specifically want is a deep one that's easy to get into, and allows significant customisation at the end.
Eventually, hopefully, CCP Z will have a prototype (lol for overused wording...) and we can make some critiques based on what it is as opposed to what we're interpreting him saying it is.

1- I am not calling anybody dumb
2 - You understand the current system? Cool bro, but the other 95% of the people who tried DUST did not
3 - A good NPE? Yes we are planning on having one. The level of complexity is high enough, we need to make some things more accessible.
I won't reply on that thread anymore, I don't know why but I don't find it very constructive :)
Reply to acknowledge you read it!?
You are now my favourite DEV after Blowout, and possibly Logibro and Sabrewing. But who knows? More post like this, and... well.

That was actually my entire point

It has no place in New Eden. It just doesn't make sense. Sure, it's easier to understand how, but it's harder to understand why.
I don't know about that... When I was a baby Merc back in Chromosome, I was walking around shooting people with my rifle, and suddenly a guy with a mini gun melts me.
I thought 'ooh damn I want one of those!' And I went and got one. And then I discovered I needed a suit for it, too ( didn't realise MLT was a thing...). So then I went and did that.
As long as they're not constraining us by role, and just structuring it by role, which seems to be the case, I can fit as many RRs to my sentinels as I have slots (i.e. One.); I just need to invest a small amount of SP to unlock them.
Looking at the tree Z provided, weapons are the lowest branch of the tree; in conjunction with DUST's layout with the cheapest being at the bottom, I very much doubt that the investment will be high, and for people like myself back in my noob stage, it'd be very helpful.
And once you work out how to customise your fittings properly and competently without needing your hand held, you shod have enough SP to skill things anyway.
I'm just not sold on the loss of the 1-5 system, tbh, or more specifically (because it is a stupid system IMO) the loss of complexity from the loss of prototype modules.
If I can fit a basic reactive and a complex extender to my suit in Legion (or the equivalents thereof) I will be happy.
