My idea:
In Public Contracts you can't use any gear above the Advanced Tier. (APEX suits would be the exception)
Factional Contracts and PC matches is where someone can run Prototype and Officer Gear.
They were supposed to have meta locked games. We have a meta level for all our suits, and that's the best answer for achieving what you are looking for. IT does not even care about apex suits, as they have a meta level like all other gear. If your suit or tank is above the level you can't deploy in it. SP gaps would still be there, but the playing field would be much more level. |

Pretty much. Not sure why anyone with that much SP would want to play with 95% of the other players, as the challenge would not be there. Unless, they have short **** syndrome. That seems to be the real issue with the game. Not saying anything about HOW, but with a 75 mill+ bracket there would still be over half of the active players in the game to play with.
The issue is though that this is a free to play game. That means the low level, non spending crowd serves as content for the higher tier persistent spenders. If you really want better match making it would have to be a subscription service so that CCP has incentive to stop the half high/half low MU teams it currently builds and instead build balanced teams of the same level. The current system is only used to give the higher tier(those who bought boosters etc.) someone to kill. Without new players, however, the games are ending in leaves. Players used to having great games because there was always half filler on the other team are now facing more players at their SP levels. This leads to a less satisfying experience so they leave the game and eventually stop playing. I can tell you when I watched my friend play his academy battles the other day those guys fought. They fought all game long. Lots of 12/10 etc. guys, but it was great to see. Out of the academy; K/D tracking and short **** syndrome have ruined the game. |

Factional Contracts and PC matches is where someone can run Prototype and Officer Gear. I agree with this more because quite frankly, I'm just not up to snuff with the people my sp level will put me against. But to expand on this a bit not only should it restrict gear, it should also only apply that tiers skill level, so at most only lvl 3 will apply in this case. Otherwise my lvl 5's will still give me the advantage over those without them.
Just cap the metalevels.....
We already have them. Why not use them?
It fixes everything. SP gaps will persist, but its harder to leverage those differences on lesser equipment. |

Tier-4 Proto and officer gear only.
This would block players with 30+ million SP from causing the player base to shrink since they can't proto stomp noobs.
AGAIN, METALEVELS
The system is already in place just use it. If your suit is under the meta level then its good to deploy, if not then you get to build one that is. It lets you set maximums and minimums if needed.
Don't reinvent the wheel. |
