CCP, how come I never received a partial respec for every ship you introduced during the past 10 years when you expanded on Eve Online? I remember back during 2003-2004 when the biggest ship in existennce was the battleship. Now we have more shipss such as the:

that other dreadnaught that looks like a scrapheap of epic proportions

And that's just to name a few. Where are my partial respecs for that?

/sarcasm mode off

On a serious note, this is exactly how Dust will be since Dust and Eve are operating under the same universe and both sides are interacting with each other at this point. If CCP gives you a respec for every time they deliver a new item into the market, the Eve players will start demanding the same thing and keep in mind those players have 50 million SP on average with a few veteran players with over 200 million SP already.

Sorry, no.

Honestly, how hard is it to just not spend your SP and be patient for the things you want? In the meantime you can spec into your race basic suits if you're adamant about using Caldari or Amarr only gear. If you want to be light but want to be Amarr, just be patient.

There should never be another respec from here on out.

I don't expect a respec in the future, and people should go about their business like there's isn't going to be one either.

You have 3-5 months to save up SP. I don't see a problem. Yea it's unfortunate the heavy class only got 1 race to pick from in Uprising, but it is what it is. Skill up the basic suit, and if you don't want the sentinel suit, then wait for a better racial variant.

There's isn't gonna be a respec every time there's something new added.

Jeeze, it's annoying how many people think we're lobbying for a respec every time we get new content. We're lobbying for a respec when we get core, basic, fundamental concept that unfortunately missed launch. And what is this core content? Just the 5 missing suits, that's it. Nothing else. What would be so wrong about that? And telling people to be patient with their SP for basic content like this is a poor excuse. It works for stuff like new guns or vehicles that we'll get in the future, but not for this.

Also why does everyone go around speaking like CCP 100% confirmed anything here? As far as I'm concerned they never said anything regarding this subject.

They should just add the suits using the armar model and make them dif colors for this build. then add the proper models later that way we can skill into the heavy suits we want now and see/get our racial bonuses.

In principle I agree with the OP but only to a point. The differences between the races for the basic frames is very minimal and it's only when you get into the specialized frames that difference begin to become relevant. If you have spent your SP properly most of your skills will apply to almost all of the dropsuit types. What the new dropsuit variants will provide is further specializations to add to your arsenal. Not having meaningful goals to spend SP will become a problem later on as the game develops, as evidenced by Eve Online. These new dropsuits will at least delay this problem for a few months.

Don't look at new dropsuits and weapon types as a missed opportunity but a chance to further expand your capabilities.

I'm skipping going more than standard for now. Std fatties seem to do ok-ish and I kill prototards all the time because support skills > paper tanks.

once the gallente and other heavies come out I'll evaluate them. hopefully the gallente is more akin to the chromosome fatties with three highs for DPS tank.

I am thoroughly underwhelmed by the Sentinel armor.
