Why I'm still interested and excited for this game is literally beyond me. Anyways.
It seems like people are fairly split between whether or not our lifetime SP should in any way transfer over to the new game. So I was thinking, why not have an Accelerated SP pool equal to your lifetime SP at shutdown?
So if I have 70 Million SP, my first 70 Million SP in the new game will be acquired 50% faster. This gives vets a meaningful reward for all the time and money they've spent here, but requires them to play the game just like anyone else in order to get back to where they were.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? THREAD SEARCH!!!!! This same idea has been brought up and shot down like a dozen times in the last few months. It's a new game so start over, and stop crying please. You should at best expect vanity items, but don't be childish or neck beard enough to expect them to derail another game so that we can have what is an entirely unfair advantage from the start of a new game. I can tell you right now a corp full of accelerated SP would dominate any planetary conquest environment after just a single month playing let alone anything similar to a public contract. Understand that earlier on the SP gaps are magnified if the game is similar to this or EVE. A 10 million SP character here is light years ahead of a 5 million SP. However, a 90 million SP is not that different from a 120 million toon. When the assault rifle was the only gun a 6 million SP character could dominate PCs against the 3 million crowd just by having that small an advantage. The reality is most of us don't even want a transfer of anything that might destabilize the new game, and creating an elite class in a competitive FPS is a sure fire way to do just that.
I'm not sure how logging on once in a few months to toss out a random idea constitutes as crying but ok.
Anyone with money will have the exact same 50% SP advantage I proposed if things stay as is, so if this is gamebreaking then aren't boosters as well?
This is CCP we're talking about, at BEST I expect a pointless cosmetic item like a fluffy couch in my merc quarters.

Oh I expect the worst from CCP at all times, but for some reason I can't stop hoping. All I've ever wanted is to watch this game succeed, from closed beta to even now.

All I've ever wanted is to watch this game succeed, from closed beta to even now. Same but seeing as I've been here since 2012 idk I can't find any games fun and dust2.0 just seems like a long shot
My main was banned for like 4 months for I can't even remember what but I've been around pretty much as long, second wave of keys. This new game does seem like a long shot at best, but who knows. I've just been trolling around modding Fallout and messing around with Black Desert and Ark Evolved a little.
DUST always had a special place though, hopefully they pull their heads out of their asses and bring the game up to speed where it belongs.

Let it all end.
Lets begin anew.
I mean that's all fine and dandy I'm just curious about everyone who says it's the end of days for people to have an advantage, yet what happens 3-6 months in when noobs are getting crushed by people with said advantage?
Won't all that go away with better matchmaking and game types? And if so, doesn't that in turn invalidate the concern that vets would have too much of an advantage with more SP early on?

But what I'm saying is if everyone starts from 0 with no advantages, in 3-6 months they will have FAR more SP than a new player entering the game.
If this is game breaking at day one, why is it no longer game breaking 3-6 months in?

The NPE was the worst part of Dust and this is a chance to start fresh. Dust vets won't need an advantage in new game. Keep the dust vet rewards to cosmetics, or consumables.
Yet again, this is totally fine. However, if this is such an issue at day one, why is it no longer an issue 3-6 months in when Vets dominate the meta and have boosted SP all filled out.
Why do new players at day one suffer but it's totally ok for new players a little further in?
