With the adoption of skill packet extraction/injection in EVE I see CCP potentially making money off veterans coming into Dust PC with high SP pools. As it's currently proposed in EVE player pay AUR for skill extractors. Players active a skill extractor and yank out 500k SP at a time.
If super vets with sp pools ranging from 150 million to 250 million SP make the jump to PC, vets have a resource they can sell to entering players for ISK. I'm pretty positive ISK is going to be wiped in the transfer. However, for a Vet to obtain a skill extractor they'll either have to pay another player ISK or pay $ to obtain AUR and get it from CCP.
This makes sense from a business standpoint.
Note: CCP may remove passively earned SP in the transfer from console to PC. This may further incentivize the trading or selling of passive alt accounts outside the TOS. On the other hand these passive pools may be used to farm SP via skill extractors, boosting AUR sales.

Why in the fuuk do you and Pokey not work for CCP? Theyve obviously gotten a new rnd budget for PHOENIX.
GET ON THEIR LEVEL CCP.

Every vet with 200 million SP is just as likely to whale their way right back up there in a new system.
No SP transfer.

No SP transfer. I wouldn't necessarily bank on it. Allowing SP transfer while wiping ISK fosters good will toward 'whales' who already sunk lots of time and energy into getting where they are.
Resetting everyone back to zero SP isn't going to automatically necessitate balance. Those SP differences will begin after the first player match on the PC.

I am pretty sure they will just wipe everything, however I'm hoping they give out SP multipliers for each loyalty rank. That might be fair.
Lvl 1: 1x Multiplier Lvl 2: 1.1x Multiplier Etc.

Staying -The only attributes I see making it to PC are player name, corporation name, skill points.
Wipe -AUR wipe likely. CCP may be adapting AUR and those resources could be incompatible. There may be various TOS between CCP and Sony that complicate being able to bring any AUR a customer bought in the Sony ecosystem into a new contained CCP platform.
-ISK wipe is a given.
-Item wipe (ISK/AUR bought) is foreseeable. Would likely be too time consuming to match assets to a player when asset equivalents might not even exist in the reimagined PC game.

It is possible that we might see some form of asset transfer, if only as SKINS or something of the like, but it would be unreasonable to expect a 1:1 transfer of absolutely everything xD (although, that might be possible depending on how things go)

UGH>>>> Not going to happen. Two different games with two different pools of XP. That and only a ****** thinks new players want to join a game 4 years behind on release day. Stop neck beard dreaming, and enjoy what we have left. We will be lucky if they actually develop anything, but if they do you will not be getting Dust 2 to move your old character over to. That was clear in the announcement. Expect at best vanity items. At worst no game at all.

Even if they change the proportion of skill points allotted to veteran players based on a new skill tree, there is still a monetary incentive to keep SP pools as a means to get vets to buy skill extractors.

Speaking with PCgamesN at the event, CCP Shanghai managing director Jean-Charles Gaudechon said the team is trying to GÇ£deliver the best experienceGÇ¥ with the shooter, but right now, DIST 514 is the priority.
GÇ£I would always like to share as much as possible with our fans and players, but of course it then creates expectations,GÇ¥ he said. GÇ£All I know is that weGÇÖre working really hard on trying to deliver the best experience.
GÇ£Of course PC is a target because thatGÇÖs our primary platform for Eve Online, [but weGÇÖre] seeing how Dust is evolving. Making that as good as possible, and then seeing how that translates GÇô if that ever translates.GÇ¥
During the opening keynote at Fanfest, CCP boss Hilmar Veigar P+¬tursson said there was GÇ£nothing new to reportGÇ¥ on Project Legion as the team is GÇ£still exploring in that area.GÇ¥
CCP said DUST 514 is profitable and attracts new players daily, so both new and current community memebers deserve everything they were promised by the developers.
GÇ£WeGÇÖre obviously thinking of the future, but I feel we owe Dust players on PS3 everything they deserve,GÇ¥ said Gaudechon. GÇ£Which means hotfixes and all the things we can do to keep them happy. We have players right now playing and paying for an experience.GÇ¥
Project Legion-áwas announced at EVE Fanfest 2014-áas a GÇ£new approach to being a mercenary on the groundGÇ¥, and taking everything learned from DUST 514 and GÇ£almost making a new game from scratch.GÇ¥
GÇ£ItGÇÖs in the same IP, same place and all the rest of it, but we want to do some fundamentally different things with it that we feel we missed out on and that we didnGÇÖt do right [with Dust],GÇ¥ said the firmGÇÖs Sean Decker at the time. GÇ£Honestly, we didnGÇÖt make a great game to begin with. We tried to do too much.GÇ¥
Project Legion will allow those who play DUST 514 to keep all PS3 progress such as identity, player name, objects, etc when migrating over to PC.

Skill extracters sounds more like the aurbarge. Are boosters not enough? You're already paying to boost your point gain,but nowadays you can just buy skill points? Sounds like a bad pay to win bs concept. Kinda like call of duty advanced warfare. You bought your "advanced" supply drops that had great chances to drop legendary gear or overpowered variants of already overpowered guns. You'd be lucky to get a supply drop once or twice every so and so match but I've heard of people dropping alot of cash to get some of the more op variants.

IF there was to be some kind of SP / Asset transfer, I would hope that there would be an offer to transfer SP and ISK to EVE Online.
Would be cool to have a choice.
Would love a ship / player skin that was black red and white with "514" somewhere on the hull / helmet.

You'd be lucky to get a supply drop once or twice every so and so match but I've heard of people dropping alot of cash to get some of the more op variants. Skill extractors are already going through in EVE (maybe thanks to a proposal I put back to the devs back in April ).
When operating on the premise that skill points have to be made by a player before they can be 'mined' out of a player's head--the practice can allow some important things.
-Vets who have maxed skill trees (or have reached a point they don't want to wait ages for level V's) can create value for the community. e.g. Use SP to bring friends into EVE faster. Set up lotteries or events where SP is the prize. Threaten someone's space castle if they don't transfer your x amount of SP to a disclosed location.
-EVE players can buy high level accounts through the forum/account management character bazaar. However, the act of buying a character to be relevant in game play with your buddies runs counter to a lot of player creation mechanics. When you start EVE, you begin by choosing your race, bloodline, and spend time brooding over your character's appearance and name--only to be confronted by the snail's pace at gaining skill points. Buying a character (e.g xXxSwaggingUrMom) bypasses this waiting game, but the player loses a sense of agency in making an identity that they connect with. Skill packets allow you to retain player identity while committing to activities that earn you ISK that can be turned around into buying player skill packets.
-EVE's character trading Bazaar that exists 'outside' the game. Skill packets do not eliminate the need for a bazaar, but integrate the mecahnics of character transfer into the game ecosystem, in a clear, concise way.

While CCP is testing ways for eve players to earn active SP (e.g. Bloody Omir event where temporary +17 attribute implants were introduced), letting Dust mercs inject SP in the system would likely upset a lot of people based on the timetables of how SP are gained in either game.

I don't exactly buy your rationale:
1. People HATE the SP injection thing and it isn't that useful. The rate of return is dismal for anyone beyond the new player and the new player needs to actually have the ISK in order to buy the things, though PLEX obviously can make a day one multi-billionaire possible. I see SP injection as selling Werewolf Insurance and Health Insurance: "You know, Health Insurance covers most everything that would happen in a Werewolf attack other than the sudden need to buy shaving cream and razors but Werewolf Insurance doesn't cover all that much. I think CCP is causing more problems offering Werewolf Insurance rather than just offering Health Insurance." (Counter: If DUST 2.0 is Free to Play, SP injection is less of an issue considering how F2P monetization works.)
2. If DUST 2.0 is F2P (I would assume so), CCP already has ways to monetize SP gain; Boosters. Having a way to sell SP becomes less important when people can just buy Boosters.
3. If the concept is about making money, IE "let's have the vets buy extractors and sell them to new players", CCP could just make more money by wiping and having everyone get Boosters to begin with.
4. If enough people don't sell SP, you are looking at hurting the game in the early start because of our 50+ million SP just trampling the game. This is especially true if EVE and DUST 2.0 share the same currency because you can just buy PLEX and suddenly have over a billion ISK. (Counter: The ISK system might be totally different)
5. Keeping SP and wiping Aurum is likely to cause more hatred than vice versa given the nature of "I dun paid for that!" Pissing off people who played the game is one thing. Pissing off people who played and paid is another.
But who the hell knows? "Tiered Recognition" will probably just be loyalty rank as it is an easy way to determine how much someone played and paid. I dunno if Loyalty Rank took into account Dren Packs though, so I assume that a lot of us are getting screwed. Of course, we are all getting screwed; it is just a question if it is the micro-fastener or the damn industrial auger.
