What if, more simply, SP investments only lasted 12 months (for example) before timing out and returning to your SP pool? You would effectively 'forget' a skill every 12 months, without loosing the SP credit, and would just retrain that skill, if you wanted to keep it for another year, or train something different.

Because this completely misses the entire point of having a persistent skill system with choices and consequences to unresearched skillpoint allocation. Not to mention the pain in the rump it would be for those of us who put actual thought and planning into our skill plans having to wast time and effort trying to rebuild our skill plan every 12 months when all our carful planning suddenly gets wiped!
Ya... I think you all missed what I was suggesting. I said SP investments might only last 12 months (for example) before timing out. Meaning that SPs invested this June would go back into the pool next June, SPs invested this July would revert next July, etc. There would be no sudden wipe, there would be no need for future respecs and there would still be a semi-persistence to skill set training in that each decision would last at least 12 months (for example).

So instead of having to fix my suddenly wiped skill points once a year, you want to make relearning skills that suddenly disappear to be a constant chore every time I log in? That is even worse. What makes you think that I wonGÇÖt still need the skill I train today 12 months from now?
Not constantly. Once per month. And only on those skills that expired 12 months (or more) ago.
I expect that you would retrain most of your skills when they come up for renewal. But there may also be some that you want to repurpose. This process allows that without the need for a formal respect while also forcing (at least) 12 months of persistence on all training decisions.
