the suits need an adjustment. 1.8 million just to get into the Chromosome version of a T-1 Logi is insane. Suits should have done dual prerequisites.
1lvl in basic suit frame unlocks level 1 in class frame
2 lvl in basic suit frame unlocks level 2 in class frame

That way, you can use a basic suit and get a level unlocked in your class. Right now, unlocking a basic frame suit just to unlock an inferior standard class frame just for an extra racial bonus unless you're logistics is counterproductive. New players would never have a chance to get into the logi, assault, scout, or templar class and be bound to the basics for months.

So you're saying a proto logi would require the basic skill to 5 and the racial skill to 5, while an ADV suit would only require that both those skills be at level 3?

Listen to this guy CCP!

I agree with this, especially since the stats of the suits aren't really any different and it's just the race/class bonuses that make the class suits worth using. It would also fix the issue of having to spend nearly 2 million SP to access the MAG suits so many people purchased as we'd be able to gain access to them quicker and cheaper while still keeping us out of incredibly powerful suits.

You already have to get level V basic suits to work your way up to level V Class suits, but with this option if you only wanted a level 1 assault, you'd only need a level 1 basic suit.
