Good idea! Don't know if it'll ever be a real thing, but at least you had a great likefarm thread^^
Fix the game before trying to add anything else.
(Hint: hit detection, lags, glitches,.. you've got some work :) )

Currently we have 180 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. Oh this is such a great idea! From a programming perspective it's simply elegant. Well done!
That's a great idea for sure, but from a programming POV it could be a real mess to implement. It all depends on how adaptive Dust's code is, but according to what I've read and seen IG, I don't think it's really flexible..
It changes many things from the interface to the database (which is the most sensible part), and that would screw everything up if it's not done properly.

e. and I guess tweaking the point at which Engineering and Electronics skills apply.
Well no.. it won't be just that. You don't only create a new module here, you create a new "type" of suit to replace all others. But everything is linked to the suits in dust : their 3D representation, their base stats, their base skin, etc. If you erase all these suits and replace them with power cores, you'll have to rebuilt all the links properly, and it's not an easy task.
It's a very different model/architecture than what we have now and could be very long to implement if the current code isn't adaptive..
Then, if the code is easy to modify and adapt, it could be done in few weeks. But I doubt that ^^

CCP Frame is a grammar naz i. He saw a mistake in Aero's post and HAD to correct it.
