Something worth discussing:
Do you want a core for every role, or have -strictly- 3 cores with all possible interactions "baked in"??
In other words: do you envision such a thing as "Basic Assault Core" and "Advanced Medium Frame Core"??
Consider that Assaults, Logis, Sentinels and Commandos all need to continue to have their own suits due to slot layout. Therefore having cores to match might be redundant. It might actually be more elegant to code the cores to react accordingly regardless of what suit they are installed into. Essentially, have only 3 cores.
Stuff to think about.
I would also suggest that for Officer Suits: allow them to be prefitted with their own core to solve whatever issues they cause. My dream, which I am currently running massive calculations on, is whether I can get away with a single Power Core per Size, and use Fitting bonuses to differentiate between Assault and Logistics etc. My preliminary results lead to yes.
I don't understand this statement.
Could you elaborate?

1) How on earth can the 81k be a point of consternation. It's a figurative number that's the same in the first and second line of the example, meant to show that the ISK burn is the same.
2) Why would the dropsuit need to cost anything, when the ISK burn has been moved to the Power Core? That's the core principle that you don't lose the suit, just fit it for the occasion without managing tons of different dropsuit types that all have the same PG/CPU.
3) There will be no refund of any ISK. Advanced and Prototype suits get refunded with Adv and Pro Powercores.
4) SKINs, could be simply purchased by ISK, still be BPO's and unlocked by the same skill as the Powercore/Dropsuit, so there would be progression and persistence in that.
5) The CoD argument is utterly trite
6) Sizes would each have it's own Power Core progression, but Logis/Assault and Basic could be all the same Powercore. Basic would be the normal, but Assault Dropsuits grant fitting bonuses so eventually, with the combat skills, would become a better Assault than Basic.
6) Balancing would then happen much more on the PG/CPU cost of Gear side, adjusted to fit faction doctrine.
You have two 6's there.
*Hides from Rattati's wrath*

On a more serious note, the forums have always been like that. If you don't spell out your idea/suggestion in extreme detail and look at every loose end, people will get hung up on the most unimportant thing and completely derail the thread.
It's a sad truth, and having the ability to predict thread derailment is a great asset here.
