Taking an idea from Avallo Kantor and expanding it.

Currently we have 120 unique base suits.
5 roles
4 races
3 tiers
3 variants aurum and ISK and LP
Compounded together is 180.

The SKIN system looks to eliminate redundant assets of BPO's, but let's take it a step further. Give all suits the slot layout of their prototype, then add a power core slot similar to the SKIN slot. The power core would add the tier appropriate CPU and PG. Suits would cost the same as standard, and then power cores will cost the equivalent difference in tier costs. There will also be aurum cores and LP cores unlocked early.

Now you have
5 roles
4 races
nothing else
Compounded is 20 unique suits

You just shaved off 160 suits from the memory cap. Even more if you do this to basic suits as well.

Mind Blown.

I am going to spreadsheet some stuff.

HOLY CHRIST HE FINALLY GOT IT, GUYS - HIS SIGNATURE IS NO JOKE Lol

Nah but for real dude we've been trying to illustrate this to CCP for a long time now and I'm ecstatic that we might finally get tieracide -as well as- a potential performance boost. Like, the plausibility that this could be the golden change to make Dust 514 what it was always supposed to be is making my heart race right now; I'm so excited. It's so much of a win/win it's like freaggin strawberry covered cheesecake and I'm fat so that similarity works.

I'll be -SOOOO PROUD- when Dust 514 manages something like this.

There are some complexities, but let me crunch more. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

The powercore idea was the lynchpin, I have never seen that before. Flat progression isn't a complex idea, but it was lacking. This has some "meat" on it.
