So we know there are a significant amount of SP sinks in the skill tree currently, and I'd like to propose a fix to it. This is in General Discussions since these are my musings, and I want input before I ask they be made.

First, which skills are in need of bonuses? Here are the skills (infantry only, since I have no intimate knowledge of vehicles) that have little or no use.

Dropsuit Command
All basic dropsuit skills (12 total)
Dropsuit Upgrades
Weaponry

So, a total of 15 skills that need bonuses. To save my self a lot of typing for every bonus, let me say here that for each basic suit skill, the skill only applies to the suits that are under that skill, example: Amarr Heavy Dropsuit skill only applies to Amarr heavy basic suits, Amarr sentinels, and Amarr commandos. Here are my thoughts:

Dropsuit Command +2% base shield and armor per level

Dropsuit Upgrades +0.2 armor repair per level

Weaponry +2% all weapon reload speed per level

Amarr Heavy Dropsuits +2% armor from armor plates and ferroscale plates per level

Amarr Light Dropsuit -2% CPU/PG cost of laser weaponry per level

Amarr Medium Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of armor plates and ferroscale plates

Caldari Heavy Dropsuits +2% shield from shield extenders per level

Caldari Light Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of rail weaponry per level

Caldari Medium Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of shield extenders and shield rechargers per level

Gallente Heavy Dropsuits +2% armor repair module rate and reactive plate repair per level

Gallente Light Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of plasma weaponry per level

Gallente Medium Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of armor repair modules and reactive plates per level

Minmatar Heavy Dropsuits +2% biotic module effects per level

Minmatar Light Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of biotic modules per level

Minmatar Medium Dropsuits -2% CPU/PG cost of shield regulators and shield energizers per level

Please share your thoughts/comments, this is a rough draft, after all.
