SKIN CONVERSION INITIATIVE
As previously discussed, it is difficult as a player to maximize the unique BPOs and their potential.

In our effort to streamline your experience within the game, we are going to begin converting existing BPO Dropsuits with unique color schemes into their equivalent looking SKIN module a few days after the update is deplyed. Here is the list of the first batch:

X Dropsuit BPO >> X SKIN (its matching color) + Standard X Dropsuit BPO (not colored)

'Quafe' Assault A-I >> Quafe' AM-M SKIN + Standard Amarr Assault BPO Suit
'Quafe' Assault C-I >> Quafe' CA-M SKIN + Standard Caldari Assault BPO Suit
'Quafe' Assault G-I >> Quafe' GA-M SKIN + Standard Gallente Assault BPO Suit
'Quafe' Assault M-I >> Quafe' MN-M SKIN + Standard Minmatar Assault BPO Suit
'Quafe' Commando A-I >> Quafe' AM-H SKIN + Standard Amarr Commando BPO Suit
'Quafe' Commando C-I >> Quafe' CA-H SKIN + Standard Caldari Commando BPO Suit
'Quafe' Commando G-I >> Quafe' GA-H SKIN + Standard Gallente Commando BPO Suit
'Quafe' Commando M-I >> Quafe' MN-H SKIN + Standard Minmatar Commando BPO Suit
'Quafe' Logistics A-I >> Quafe' AM-M SKIN + Standard Amarr Logistics BPO Suit

As others have pointed out already and as the patch notes clearly indicate, this will come in batches. My main concern however is how this will play out once CCP gets around towards finally converting the APEX BPOs. Keep in mind the APEX BPOs do include pre-fitted modules.

What equipment is the caldari logi getting in APEX land and what extra slot items are the apex commandos items getting with the new slot? Also, won't the caldari effectively loss two slots with the addition of the equipment. I'm looking at my proto logi fits and I have max fitting skills. I'll still need to fit a CPU upgrade and will have to remove shield regen or stamina. Over 60+ Million SP and full proto in all Caldari Suits. Dust just won't die on PS3/Xbox. Dustin since 6/29/2012

Assault is different from logi, and sentinel from commando. As Regis pointed out, the Logi and Assault share the exact same model so it's a moot point to try to make two separate SKINs of the same style if all you need is just one. The same can be said for the Sentinel and Commando. Although I'm curious about something here. @CCP Frame If I have for example both the 'Quafe' Assault M-I and the 'Quafe' Logistics M-I and they both get converted to SKINs+BPO suits, does that mean I get two SKIN modules of the same style or do I get just one module?

Will the templar set be affected to? Im looking forward to this update. My guess is that they are doing these in waves, and taking care of the most numerous first. I can't imagine they would get rid of anything entirely, unless there was absolutely no way around it, at which point I would think they would reward you accordingly. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If CPP Ratatti removes the.skinweave then that a huge slap across the face to the close beta veterans. I hope he doesnt remove them. I remember the event that took place on December 2012. Im aint stupid. If he removes them then IM done. Why did the white girl cross the road?

Kevall Longstride Dust University Ivy League 3	Posted - 2015.07.06 08:28:00 - [54] - Quote The flattening of slots and the new progression system is going to be if huge help to the new players. Doing slot flattening AND power core in the same patch were a big no no. Too many things to go possibly go wrong. Please reread the blog for answers to the 'what about x BPO suit', they're being done in waves because there's about 150 of them. Once they're completed and the power cores in place we'll be going from 150+ suits needing to be in memory to just 32 (8 per race including basics) and three tiers of power core. The skins have a negligible effect on memory as it's just a set of numbers that alter the appearance of suits using the games graphics engine. With the initial work for flattening and the tools in place, the next wave of BPO conversion should be doable via hotfix not client update. For those special BPO where the slot layout is different from the standard (like the Skinwwaves I believe, not used mine for a while) we will have to look carefully at them. But as all BPO/ISK suits are gaining prototype slot layouts I can't see them as being too much of a problem. Overall a solid patch with some much needed UI changes for the NPE that'll see us right for the long term future of the game, more slots for new players to add much needed tank and reduce their TTK by a couple of seconds hopefully, and some PC changes that'll make it worth sending out my D-UNI Leporids out on raids.

Quick question; is the tiercide being driven by the power core idea? I don't see any mention of it in the devblog. Can we expect to see power cores of variation thereof after the update?
