I am disappointed that the changes did not go far enough. Mainly:
- The role skills (logistic, scout, sentinel, assault) should be non-race specific so that a player may become a logistics specialist and bring in various suits and different times. Basically, the only thing keeping me from a Minnie logi suit to a Gallente logi suit would be Level V basic in both.
- I still cannot believe that there are skills that only unlock items. Even a 1-2% bonus is better than a simple unlocking of skill.
- Electronics and Engineering as a skill rank 5 suit is disheartening.
- I would have rather waited on a respec so that I can see what vision they truly had for various suits, but as in EVE, don't skill for the now, skill in what you are okay flying for the distant future.

As for the roles needing their racial basics is that Dust 514 has simplified to be branching linear in progression. So no more 2 into 1s are possible anymore. This was done for the sake of FPS players that may or may not understand the entire Root-branching tree that Eve online enjoys where ships can has as many as 3 requirements and each of those have 3 apiece. There's going to be a benefit to having a basic frame at level 5 for future racial variants right?
Well, I understand that few people are on board the generalized specialist suit skill, but now that the basic suits require level 3, this closer resembles Eve's T1 ship skill progression.
Before, when it rquired basic suit skill to V, it resembled the T2 system.
If you want to make medium basic suits worth it, you tie one of the bonuses on the specialist suits to the medium frame bonus. You end up with a hybrid T1/T2 system that I can get behind with and concede my generalist specialist skill point of view  . Hybrid because the T2 ships were tied to the T1 racial basic skill level, but you were forced to take level V anyways so it was simply a straight bonus. Here, you can choose to take the added bonus or simply get into the suit and forego the last 2 skill ranks of the lower suit skill. |
