Dewie Cheecham Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 677	Posted - 2012.09.30 14:34:00 - [1] - Quote The overall idea is good Cerebral, and I do concur. However we have to take into account that SP cost for the various ranks in DUST is dramatically higher than in EVE. Have a look at these numbers. They are derived from what I've seen in game, and follow the EVE strategy quite well, except for the base values. A rank 20 for a given level cost 20 time the SP for a rank 1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApXBj3IzrWnydE5iSWo5MTFMN3NlSjJZTUpFZXlvaGc Rank one in Dust have the following SP: 10,240 40,960 112,640 256,000 and 512,000 Compare that to EVE, where a rank one skill have the following SP: 250 1,415 8,000 45,255 and 256,000 At level 5 EVE only uses half the SP for a given skill, but Dust has a much steeper entry.

I wonder if they will change SP costs to bring them in line? They use to be quite low and the SP price's was raised due to the amount of SP people happened to be gaining. The Dust SP cost per level have been this way at lesat since they opened the Beta after the fanfest, however they have increased the Rank on some skills if I recall. I do hope they respec the SP and bring it in line with the EVE SP, especially if they plan on lowering the SP gain to something more akin to EVE.

I do hope they respec the SP and bring it in line with the EVE SP, especially if they plan on lowering the SP gain to something more akin to EVE. It would be nice to have level 1 skills being filled by capping a single objective or two but keeping the larger skills requiring a month or so of training. No argument there. It is not an easy balance to strike. Console players want to be rewarded per round, byt both ISK and SP I guess. I hope CCP can crack the nut to everyones satisfaction. Remember the malcontent when they removed teh 4x SP gain multiplier a few builds ago? Imagine having people suddenly earning only a few hundred SP per battle... :P

If I recall I tried to start adding them up, I got less than half way and were already well in the twenties.

I love my formulas.
