This would mean that the skills is FAR more useful for some weapons over others, and in some cases put some weapons into the negative PG cost if memory serves, which is just silly.

Well actually you're not really using your head then, because if the weapon in question uses say 3PG, under your system levels 4 and 5 of that skill would be completely pointless. That being said you would have a situation where certain weapons would take less SP to fully optimize than others. That's really not fair to those weapons that would require Fitting optimization V, now would it?

So what you really want is a larger percentage so your SP investment feels like it's worth it. A move to an absolute -X PG per level causes far more issues than simply increasing the % so you get a larger benefit.

I want a solution that actually benefits all types of tiers of gear better and has more of a benefit for the investment. Some flat pg reduction would be ideal.
Except a flat reduction benefits certain gear more than others.

I understand that, Im not arguing with you about your interpretation of benefit/cost. I'm saying that flat bonuses are bad for several reasons, and that you can achieve your end goal through less problematic means.
Also note that just because the game only displays whole numbers, doesn't mean decimals don't exist behind the scenes, so even if that first level doesn't shave off a full PG, it's still taking off a percentage of a point and those values are not rounded until all skills, weapons, and modules are taken into account.

In extreme cases yes, a flat bonus may be more appropriate, but a flat -1/level for all weapons is just silly.
