Short version is this game gets effing roles instead of half asseted suit bonuses. While bonus still exist, the line up with what the suit would do, then splitting that into low and high tech levels.

Easy example
learn caladri medium suit skill.
Suits unlocked at 1
lineman, [subsequent bonus per level of caladri medium suit here]
supplytech
(Somemissile based av name)
sharpshooter

Then burn through caldari medium suits to 5, unlocks skills of
assault
logistics
anti-vehicle
marksmenship (prolly not but this is for example)

Then put a suit or two in those hyper defined roles in the high tech tree and viola, high skill expensive suits for the tryhard rich

With comparable yet cheap role based suits for the bads and poors.

Sorry if its confusing and aloppy, im in a rush

It's simple enough - it's basically an entirely different game that you need to unlock content for by having the proper SP allocations.

There's no way CCP has the resources for that, and it kinda takes away from the RPG element of building your own suits - so I'd be against it.

Here I was thinking you drove tanks, but clearly thats just your ego that you ride around in. -DUST fiend to Dark Cloud

But if this is secretly a tiericide thread, im all for it! And to not totally derail your pseudo rant, i actually agree that meta lockout is going to even further fracture our tiny player base, worse than matchmaker could have! Gotta reevaluate this one imho. Here I was thinking you drove tanks, but clearly thats just your ego that you ride around in. -DUST fiend to Dark Cloud

Gotta reevaluate this one imho. Go away with your tiercide! We already lost our future - don't ruin out atmosphere too. We're still in new eden - if newbs need somewhere else to play give them a game mode that doesn't allow beyond STD and watch how bad that game mode turns out as TTK is horribly reduced because suit fittings vs weapon damage don't balance out in early levels. Tiercide is a flawed concept that would do nothing but kill the only thing this game has left - Risk vs Reward Everyone would just run to the low risk areas. Sota ive got a version youd love, not the crap they tried to sell with legion, but it requires a buttload of new content so good tiericide wont possibly be ever realized. Very much risk vs reward, but a lottle more forgiving to a newb. Here I was thinking you drove tanks, but clearly thats just your ego that you ride around in. -DUST fiend to Dark Cloud

I see where youre coming from and respect that. youd still get a blank siit to build what youd like, it just would have a set "focus" if you will. Instead of using a current cal assault with its generic reload speed for a railrifle assault and then a exact copy with a sawrm lanucher instead for av, there would be perfeered suits for each kinda role. But as i said before, takes a buttload of new content and as you said which i agree with, too many resources. Its a pipedream of mine that i see working well...if it could be done. Big if.
