Just dropped $20 on dust just because I see you guys are working on the idea.
Thread has my approval.

lol, started off about simplifying a concept and derailed into how complex we can make it.
I agree with the KISS principle then we can explore the caveats later.

If needed the cost of both could be increased to compensate for the lost cost of the suit. Easy. The dropsuit also needs to cost isk. Why if the cost of the suit is shifted to the core ?
I don't see why both can't cost something. In fact, the way I see it, when you buy a suit it automatically comes with a standard or militia core (however its being organized). If you want to upgrade it then buy higher powered cores.
This combines two items into one, instead of a bpo plus lowest core tier. Just have a suit with the lowest core tier as a default.

Only if you have to buy your suit once. It would be pointless to keep buying the suit and pwr core over and over again. It's not efficient.
How is it any more or less efficient than buying your weapon over and over again? Care to explain?
Also Dust's appeal is due to the threat of loss which clearly is missing in other shooters, which is why paying real money or hard work is done to minimize this in game experience. CCP's free to play model entirely depends on this for its finances.
BPOs have been one of CCP's money makers. Thus what you are advocating is directly changing one of CCP's traditional sources of income.
Work in baby steps, get slot flattening, powercores ect. Then we can have this separate bpo's for everybody, new player friendly conversation. Lets not risk killing the whole idea by getting people hyped up over changing a major part of CCP's formula for income before we have a finish product.

Again, my main concern about this free BPO's for everybody is the financial aspect.
And if you turn our current BPO's to include a powercore BPO, then that is the equivalent of currently giving every single person in dust a bpo of everything in our current game for the price of one BPO.
Why is that the case? When you have 3 items (powercores), and one of them turns into a bpo (to compensate the old BPOs), that is such a massive gain into the system, we literally then have 1/3 of everything for free in the game suit wise, without having to finance CCP, without having to risk a whole lot.
So we either screw the people who bought bpo's financing ccp or we literally erase loss from about a 1/3 of the entire game under the proposal which traditionally was compensated by gameplay or giving money to CCP. Seriously, a powercore bpo is like one bpo to rule them all.
