This is something I was thinking of as well. Make the suits BPOs and shift their cost to the power core.
This power core idea has me grinning ear to ear though.

The difference is negligible, but importaint to some people. I like to have the following: - A "standard" suite bought on the market for ISK comes pre equipped with a "Militia Power Core" and "Militia SKIN". - ADV and PRO Power Cores are available on the market for ISK (and AUR) with skill requirements. Now, to avoid having to restock BOTH suites and Power Cores, this idea could be combined with a change in loadout management which could potentially give us a further perfomance boost... https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2778915#post2778915
With this concept the suits are essentially empty shells with no functionality until the cores are plugged in, so why not have the suits as a once purchase bpo?
Not sure I understand the why behind the counter argument.
Also, I think the problem folks had with CCP Z's proposal was more the rigidity he put onto the skill tree not the bpo concept.

The New Eden elements of loss and destruction are preserved by offloading the ISK cost to the power core. Why people would want to force bad design like doubling the restocking work of a power core and a suit is beyond me.
If it really really bothers people then just have suits have the cost of a militia frame and then deduct that cost from the current basic, advance, and proto suits to get your power core cost. It still seems a bit ridiculous if the exact economic costs are maintained that you would want to add another layer.

For me I'm thinking about the suits being BPO in terms of the fitting design and UI.
If the suits are BPOs it would be very easy to just replace the "module" at the top (where the suit currently is) in the fitting screen and have that be where you slot in your power core. All of the currently owned suits would just become a bpo of the suit type and the number of power cores you had stocked.
Heck there is already an art asset for a power core module in Eve as well from the Micro Auxiliary Power Core: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/eve/images/d/d6/Icon35_14.png/revision/latest?cb=20081129173428
Can't tell you how awesome it would be to finally be able to switch between a LP suit and ISK "suit" on the fly just by changing out the power core.

Sole, in this system the idea is a suit can't be used without a core and a core cost the same as a suit. There is no "cheaper". Not sure if it can be explained more clearly.

For example:
Default Assault Gallente (exactly like our current Assault gk.0, LSG 1E 3H 5L) and Duvolle Assault Gallente (for example, LSG 2E 2H 5L) ?
Considering this example, this would add any resource (considering that we may have PowerCore being CPU+PG+Layout+(Skin), being Skin changeable...) from we already have? Or I just don't get it the entire idea? :P
For now the main focus is offloading the PG and CPU stats to the power core and eliminating individual dropsuit tiers through slot flattening.

This is great, but what about the skill points? Would we be respecked, and how about adding this to vehicles too.
Why would there be a SP refund? In order to get proto CPU and PG you would still need a PRO core unlocked at level 5.

Something I haven't seen mentioned. What happens to bandwidth? Does it get flattened like the suit slots in the scenario or is that something that can be attached to the power core as well?
