Not really fond of the idea, sorry.
SP is (and should remain) character specific. |

Just speaking my personal opinion of course.
For me SP represent individual character development by time and skill (which in Dust can be accelerated by boosters). You can not buy SP straight up from the market for AUR (for a reason), as this would be the purest definition of pay to win.
However, this proposal suggests just that.
I can create a new character -> Buy AUR -> Buy AUR gear -> Sell AUR gear for ISK -> Buy SP for ISK.
(Ok, the path is longer...but it opens up a can of worms I don't think we want to open)
Even if the SP tokens work exactly like normal Boosters (I.e allow players to manufacture Boosters) I think its a bad idea, since it would severely cut into AUR booster sales (which I think is still the most lucrative business CCP have at the moment)

This we can agree on ^
I am approaching 50m, and I still suck at defeating enemies

For sake of clarity.
Implants = the sp units you are extracting
Boosters = modules you buy from current NPC market
This was also clear.
What I am basically against is the speed the implants release the SP (1-2 days?). This would mean if I have "a lot" of ISK I could technically buy many A grade implants and unlock millions of SP in a very short time (compared to boosters). So if you spend a ton of real money (to get the ISK), you can jump ahead a person who played for years (and even payed AUR for regular boosters).
Even if you make the implants release the SP as slowly as normal boosters (thus addressing my concern above), it will eat away from the normal booster sales which CCP relies on for the continuos support of the game.
But yeah, from a lore perspective I see nothing againt it.
On a business perspective though
