I'm actually not a fan of that particular skill tree, for several reasons, but the core concept is decent.

Okay, then. You asked for it! 
#1. I'm a little disillusioned with the dropsuit skill tree. I was hoping it would be more like EVE, where the specialization skills were separate from the racial skills. Your proposed skill tree makes hopping between specializations and factions comparatively easy. For someone who has learned Gallente Assault, jumping to Caldari Logistics is just as easy as jumping to Gallente Logistics or Caldari Assault. Your specialization doesn't mean as much, nor does your faction. If the two skills were separate, it would make a lot more sense and have a lot more meaning.
#2. The explosives branch is a mess. It seems to contain both missile weapons and artillery weapons (Mass Driver). It would have been better if the non-projectile and non-missile explosives, such as those that are thrown or placed, were separate from both projectile weapons and missile weapons, as they act very differently.
#3. The dropsuit and vehicle modules are separate. An unnecessary and annoying skillpoint sink.
#4. I don't get the advanced specialization thing. I honestly don't see the point in it. If all you want is to have greater amounts of specialization, wouldn't it be better to have separate dropsuits for each micro-specialization without needing new skills?

I'm against the idea of Tech I having specializations. Having each dropsuit be suited for a particular role over another is one thing, but full-fledged specializations are something I would rather see from Tech II alone.
And Tech III can be the crazy child that can't seem to fit in.
