Is it possible, and are you willing to implement, tying skill bonuses to suits and hulls rather than the skillbook?
For example, LAV operation would provide a different bonus to the Saga as compared to the Methana. For example, the Saga gains 5% shield hp per level of LAV operation, while the Methana gains 5% to armor repairer efficiency per level of LAV operation. This effectively allows us to give skill bonuses to different suits and vehicles without needing to add an extra skillbook and require even more SP than now to give a bonus.
Another example: the HAV operation skill gives no bonus at all. We could have Gunnlogis gain 5% efficiency to shield extenders per level of HAV operation and Madrugars gain 5% efficiency to armor repairers per level. When the Minmatar and Amarr stand-ins are released, we can give them bonuses based on the level of HAV operaion as well. For example, the Amarr HAV could gain 5% efficiency to armor plates per level.
I would appreciate knowing if this is feasible and something you'd be interested in pursuing. I believe it could open up many new options to balance different aspects of the game.
Disclaimer: I am not saying that these bonuses should be the ones used. They are only used to explain my question; whether or not we can have multiple suits/hulls gain different bonuses based off of one skill.

That adds even more SP needed. Why not just have the HAV skill give different bonuses to different HAVs?

This is another thing we can do. Remove Caldari Assault Dropship and Gallente Assault Dropship skill. Have the Incubus gain the current bonuses from the Assault Sropship skill and the Python gain its current bonuses form the same skill. We can simplify a lot of SP sinks this way.
And I'd like to hear Rattati's opinion, even if he disagrees. Better to know the answer is no and move on to other ideas than barking up the wrong tree without ever knowing it will never happen.
