Skills should most definitely apply. The only dissference should be the ability to fit them without skills, and for them to suffer some detriment, like reload speed, mag cap, etc. My skills should apply to all the rifles of a given class, including militia.

Then why go military grade?

Performance per cost is many times more efficient on militia. Especially those who have BPO ones and its considered one of the larger problems in the game that people would rather stay with militia gear than to upgrade.

That's like saying why bother gearing up in an MMO your skills encompasses everything you'll ever need.

In which case, people would simply stick with standard gear, right? But they don't, because after skills, gear quality is the next step to get an edge on an opponent. Militia gear should be somewhat competitive with the other gear.

Eve side, my skills apply to the free rookie ships, hell they even have their own recommended skillsets. So why wouldn't we have skills apply to the rookie suits too?

Eve is tiericided though and its going further way way with all modules coming next. Also rookie ships do not get a per level bonus unlike every other ship in eve just about save the shuttle.
