My opinion.
Step 1
Attempting to normalize prices in a place that runs under a closed economy model, that would move at some point to an open market model is just a blunder.
Step 2: It runs in the race
One thing I do agree is that the racial bonuses lack the incentives to make some players move along the progression path, either way it is all about how the skill tree was designed.
From my perspective there should be racial segregation so that if people start specializing into Amarr / Caldari / Gallente / Minmatar technology are forced to follow that path by making, therefore an initial investment would have GÇ£valueGÇ¥ to player and it will give the player the opportunity to GÇ£chooseGÇ¥ a play style based on the race spectrum. This will decrease what I consider to be the GÇ£single-factorGÇ¥ (decisions based to go over certain class based on a particular suit of a particular race).
The following represents decision making that is GÇ£choiceGÇ¥ based, in example a player specialized in Gallente technology can decide to either go into one of the specialties of such race.
Dropsuit Command:
Dropsuit Command should allow a player to use a light, medium and heavy frames and prototype frames should be removed from this spectrum. So that at level 5 a player will not receive or would be able to use a prototype light/medium/heavy frame because it will not exist. BUT the incentive to get level 5 would be to unlock the prototype level of a racial dropsuit
*SP multiplier of (1x)
*Race Dropsuit (The multiplier is too high, it should not be higher than 6x)
Amarr Dropsuit: 1.Scout 2.Assault 3.Logistics 4.Heavy
Caldari Dropsuit: 1.Scout 2.Assault 3.Logistics 4.Heavy
Gallente Dropsuit: 1.Scout 2.Assault 3.Logistics 4.Heavy
Minmatar Dropsuit: 1.Scout 2.Assault 3.Logistics 4.Heavy
For example, in order to use a prototype Heavy suit a player will have to acquire: Dropsuit Command (lvl 5), GÇ£RaceGÇ¥ Dropsuit (lvl 5) and Heavy Dropsuit (lvl 5).
Step 3
* Light/ Medium/ Heavy frames do not need a bonus.
* All classes and suits except for heavy should be having at least one L-W slot.
* The Racial Bonuses are accommodated in the following order Amarr / Caldari / Gallente / Minmatar
Scout Frame: (Mobile Intel)
- More CPU and PG
- Two equipment slots(no reductions of slots)
- Scan profile and scan precision
- Racial 'Scout' Bonus (Mobility, Stamina, Scan Precision, Scan Profile)
Logistics Frames (Support)
- Decrease the amount of H-Power and L-Power slots
- Solid amount of equipment slots
- Racial 'Logistics' Bonus (Explosives, Deploy-ables, Repair, Hacking)
Assault Frames (Slayers)
- Do not need more grenade slots or shield/armor buff
- They just need more slots, if they want more damage, shields, armor, regen, stamina, etc. They should have the amount of slots that logistics class has.
- Racial GÇÿCaldariGÇÖ Bonus (-%OverHeat, +%Shield Extenders, +%Armor Extenders, +% Maximum Ammo)
Large Frames (Tanks)
- Racial Attack Bonus (+% Armor Repair, +%Shield Resistance, +%Armor Resistance, -%Power Signal )
