Seriously, what is the point of them?
They just seem to me like blatant SP sinks and no one uses them.
You should just be able to spec into your specialised role straight away.
Seems to me that militia suits make basic frames pretty redundant as by the time your done playing around with the militia gear you will have a good idea where you want to specialise.

- Reduce their ISK cost to be 75% the cost of the specialized variant (assault, logistic, scout, etc.)
- Give them a single dropsuit command bonus (e.g. Amarr medium basic gets 2% reduction to laser weapon heat build-up)
Basic dropsuits are now a cheaper, but viable, alternative to the specialized dropsuits.
I wouldn't call basic frames content, more like SP barriers to where you really want to go (assault, scout, logi etc)
Basic frames weren't in chromosome and I don't remember anyone complaining.
I feel they are in the game solely to slow down progression. |

I feel they are in the game solely to slow down progression. And what I am saying, is they don't have to be an SP barrier. They could be given a purpose; such as the one I outlined above. I came up with that off the top of my head, but you get the gist.
I understand where your coming from, I feel like at least I should be able to bypass them.
For example if I'm enjoying playing a Min Logi and want to play Cal logi, I should be able to spec straight into Cal logi without having to waste SP on Cal basic frames that I DO NOT want.
If not remove them let me not have to waste SP on them at least. |

If not remove them let me not have to waste SP on them at least. What about if CCP made all of the dropsuit sizes unlock with Amarr [Size] Basic Frames I instead of III? Less SP invested that way. I'm trying to compromise here, because if I know Rattati like I think I do, he will be completely against removing the need for them altogether.
That would be a good solution as is it makes them less of an SP sink without the need to remove them entirely.
I'd like to know Rattati's thoughts on this. |
