So in order to get into a specialized role prototype suit you only need about 2.8 million SP as opposed to the 5 million SP before before. That gives us a good 2.2 million extra skill points to spend. But of course since they are reducing the skill level requirement to move onto specialized suits from V to III, if you did not request a respec and already started specializing that is 1,865,520 SP you'll never see again (assuming you didn't want the basic frame prototype). |

Honestly I dont know why people would waist their SP on Assault Proto when they can get Basic Proto no problem, and Logi proto right under it. Untill they give assault suits a massive boost, they are damn near worthless.
Well I agree that Assault suits need different fitting layouts than the basics (as do scouts and sentinels), but the skill bonuses are still pretty nice. 25% shield recharge rate plus whatever your racial bonus, it's worth something.
Of course before the difference between basic proto and assault proto was 3 million SP, not really worth it. Now it's halved to about 1.5 million SP. That can be worth it for some, but it still needs something to differentiate it. |

I would assume they will issue re-specs once their skill tree 'renovations' are complete.
and they haven't indicated the dropsuit skills are the only thing there are changing...
just playin devils advocate here..
You know, who wants to bet that the reason they delayed this until Wednesday is so they can have everyone who requested a respec given their respec at the same time the skill tree changes, instead of changing it now and waiting a couple days for them to finish their request sorting. |

Knarf Black wrote:So what exactly is the point of Proto Basic Frames now?
Well it is a faster way to get into proto suits for new players as it would only take 1.2 million skill points instead of about 2.8 if they aimed straight for the specialized suits. But also in the future I imagine they are going to take our feedback and give each suit type different fitting layouts, so that say the Assault would be better geared layout-wise for actual assaulting, while the Basic Medium would be better for generalized roles. |

I sort of agree, but we can't go lowering everything. There has to be something to work towards. |

There has to be something to work towards. I was actually expecting the cost for the core skills to go down, I wasn't expecting the suits to go down.
Well when they first announced it they said they were lowering the costs associated with the suits to be more in line with how they were in Chromosome. And I must say, fantastic job! Chromosome was 2.2 million for a prototype suit. After the update, it will be 2.8 million for a prototype specialized suit, much closer than 5 million. |
