1. Skills do not unlock any items.
1.1. All items are already unlocked.
WARNING:
If CCP were to do this, then Eve Online players will start demanding the same thing and ultimately every player in New Eden will be flying Titans.
In other words, you have a much higher liklihood of dying to a lightening strike while holding a rabbit than convincing CCP to unlock all weapons. |

Anyways. I prefer the grind for unlocking weapons. Gives me a sense of accomplishment. Unlocking new bonuses hardly has any such effect in making me feel more accomplished compared to a weapon. |

Do you remember what happened the last time CCP ignored the Capsuleers of New Eden? It wasn't pretty.
1. Over a thousand players cancelled their subscriptions in a large that way in 2011 the Guinness Book of World Records (gaming edition) put CCP at #1 for most player walkouts in a single month. Not the kind of record CCP intended, did they?
2. Because of the walkout, CCP suffered masses loss of revenue in addition to the expenses of their rapid expansion which resulted in lay off of over a 100 employees in Iceland, Atlanta, and Shanghai.
3. Because of the lay off, the development put into Dust 514 was put into the sidelines until CCP could get their act together.
4. The CEO of CCP Games was forced to put out a public apology to the Capsuleers.
5. The wrecked monument in front of the Jita station is a constant reminder of what happened from 1 through 4.
CCP will not make that mistake of ignoring the Capsuleers ever again. They are quirky when it comes to management, yes. But they are not stupid. |

You're right. Eve is not Dust. But Eve was the game that nurtured New Eden into what it is now. Since Dust is now encroaching onto Eve territory, do you really think Dust can get away with being different for long 10 years down the road? CCP has already stated that Dust will one day become so intermingled with Eve that you will hardly tell the difference other than one being an MMO and the other being a FPS. That's basically saying that even though one is an apple and the other is an orange it still doesn't matter because they are still fruit and that (somehow) are growing in the same tree. |

As new gear is introduced so the ceiling raises. Isk is a gulf as surely as SP is sir. The player with 400mil isk can call in a seemingly limitless supply of tanks to blow away those who only have 10mil isk. Check what you are asking for, it means that SP is irrelevant and not something that benefits a player in the slightest. Rather player ISK would be the only thing that matters.
That will only hold true for so long before CCP decides to implements the secondary market. In about a year, once the market is under the control of the players, the price of the tanks will skyrocket. |
