DUST Search - Petition for a respec

I agree with having at least a dropsuit respect due to the upcoming changes of hotfix alpha. Let me explain why by giving an example.

Lets say you buy a sport car. You bought this sport car because it is fast. It runs the 1/4 mile in 15 seconds flat. (Maybe that is not super fast by todays standard but it is just an example). The competition sees the popularity of this car and decides to make one better. So the next year they come up with a car that does the 1/4 mile in 14 seconds. Well, that sucks a bit for the 15second guy but, that is the way life is. Every year new things come along that are better faster, smaller, lighters whatever. This however is not what CCP does. If CPP ran a car manufacturing company thenthey would come up with the 14 second car but, they would make the 15 second car all of a sudden turn into a minivan.

With hot fix charlie the caldari scout will lose its profile enhancer skill and the ammar logi will lose its secondary weapon. That is not fair (in my opinion). That the ammar gains the profile enhancer capability then that is ok because in theory they probably where working on it but why would the caldari lose that ability all of a sudden?

I say the rule of thumb for respect should be as follows.

#1 small tweaks to something does NOT require respect. For example a weapon gains or loses a bit of damage. This does not requires respect because the weapon still does the job it is intended. For example if you buy a sniper rifle that does say 500 damage and now it only does 480. Yeah that sucks but it is still a sniper rifle.

#2 changes that completely change the way something works (lose an ability) do require respect. Again suppose you buy a sniper rifle and they all of a sudden change it to work like a shot gun. NO NO NO. You bough a sniper rifle so it should be a sniper rifle. It can't be one day sniper rifle and the next day a shotgun.

In hot fix charlie the HMG overheating a bit faster is not a super deal breaker because it is a small tweak. So no respect. However, the ammar losing the sidearm is a deal breaker because that whole idea of the ammar logi is to that side arm. They even mentioned giving the side arm to the caldari logi. That doesn't seem fair to me.
