Rollover cap doesn't solve anything for new players. I can pretty much guarantee that new players (if they like the game) will burn through the cap way before the reset and so will have nothing to rollover. Sure, once the "newness" of the game wears off for them they will have a nice pool of SP to chew at in matches, but I can guarantee that won't be for a few months, again, if the player stays around.
Getting into proto gear is a goal for many, but its pointless if you don't have the core skills to fit it, i.e. getting enhanced/complex mods, which costs way more than the weekly SP allowance.
Said it before, the main issue for new players is matchmaking, its total pants to be pubstomped, and those proto guys that have bad fittings are few and far between. |

This way, new player have a chance to catch up with veteran..
I must have read the wrong thread or something, or misunderstood, or both! Thanks for the clarification 
This sounds reasonable and will help new players.
I've been playing for just over a month and I'm restricted now to the types of role I can play because of my SP. I don't have the fittings or suits to go CQC so end up being a scout/sniper until I get the core skills up. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy being a scout, dropping uplinks, flanking behind enemy lines and capturing points, but it would be nice to be able to go toe-to-toe with an AR/SR or FoTM, but I can't so.
I have 3 chars, 3.3m, 2.5m, 2m SP and burn through my cap in no time, basically because I'm a WP ***** (in the constructive sense). For me to get into and properly fit a proto suit will take me months, which is fine of course, grind == MMO, but this won't matter if I'm still thrown against even higher spec'd players because of the broken matchmaking system.
