No need to drop all this uniques features of DUST. I'm really not sure what you mean by this. You still need tiers / meta items and powercores with this idea, which also requires the EXACT SAME sp investment as it does now. Nothing changes between this idea and now, except for adding in ISK skins for all the current 'default' skins of regular suits, and there is even talk of making sure that those skins are only 'accessible' with the required skills. (So no proto assault skin without assault to 5 for that race) So the pride factor is still there for the SP investment.
The power/learning curve in DUST is entirely too steep for fun play when you are new.
Not only do current veterans enjoy clearly superior equipment, but the skills they invest to GET TO said equipment boost their power further. Slot flattening addresses this by making sure that New players can at least approach SOME of the power of a proto player.
Even in STD suits, any focused, 20m or more SP player by and large will faceroll across dozens of new players before feeling significantly threatened, especially if those new players do not fully understand fitting, weapon profiles, etc.
What happens when you have some poor newbie in his militia minmatar frame with his shiny new militia CR and he encounters me, in my purple Caldari sentinel with three damage mods hot-racked on my shiny MO-4 Assault HMG?
What happens to this proud newbie when he encounters my Prototype Amsent/Minsent/Calsent/Galsent with a boundless HMG, or a Six-kin burst, or a freedom AHMG?
What happens if he encounters me and my maxed cores in my shiny Renegade APEX suit with an ADV ACR or EXO-5 Mass driver racked with damage mods?
Oh right, in all cases get his ass torn open unless he's a GENIUS.
Because that's fun, right?
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.
