The idea is to have augmentation or a automatically available mechanic similar to that of passive skill point one but instead it will reduce the skill point requirement of the next tier of skills.but it will only affect the drop suits , weapons modules etc that the user is using at the time, as well as this the skill point reducer will only affect the skill point requirement of the tier immediately above what ever drop suit , weapon module etc. the player is using. I think the use of this mechanic will help players move out of the militia phase and into the higher tiers.

I kinda like this idea as it would show skill being gained through implementation. It would not work for all skills, as it would be difficult to create/calculate/implicate the action (thinking Dropsuits, Circuitry, Shields, Armour, Scanners). I think it would be better if you 'earned' SP towards the next level, something like 10 SP per use/kill maybe.

ie.

10 kills with the AR will discount 100 SP from the next AR Operations upgrade.
10 revives with the nanoinjector will discount 100 SP from the next Nanocircitry upgrade.

yh like that but the higher the tier the more discount you get.

ie.
10 kills with the militia AR will discount 10 SP from the next AR Operations upgrade
10 kills with the standard AR will discount 100 SP from the next AR Operations upgrade
10 kills with the advanced AR will discount 1000 SP from the next AR Operations upgrade

this way it will make more people want to better weapons
