Easy: you don't catch up. Just as new players to EVE will never catch up.

Thankfully, the skill and equipment systems work beautifully to level the playing field: a two month old player can match a ten year vet IN ONE THING. The fit your bring to the fight is the only thing your skills affect, and so only those relevant skills come into play. The older player can do more things, but still only one at a time, just like you. You're on equal footing if you choose to specialize (like you should; this is a squad-based game, talk to your mates, find what you all like, and build a TEAM, not a clump of jack-of-all/master-of-nones.)

This is simply how it works, and there's nothing you can (let alone should) do to "fix" this wonderfully functional dynamic without breaking everything and making it all pointless.

Thankfully, this is an FPS, and so your SP and how fancy your gear is matters even less than it doea in EVE; YOUR skill matters far more than anything else (just ask the protofits I spank with militia gear).
