I honestly feel that this should be done, how can CCP say our choices have consequences when we are missing 5 racial drop suits? Assuming a heavy wants to play in PC/FW he needs proto gear, Scouts can move to assault suits or become nova knifing wimatar
The gallente scout isn't all that great it trys to play the part of saboteur but sadly without stealth equipment it kinda falls flat. I digress. It is only fair that we get a refund on SP spent on drop suits, not only to the heavies but the scouts as well!
Please discuss!

Naaah just start saving up SP if you REALLY want to have that suit on day one.
That way if someone wants to show off/have that advantage they have to plan a bit ahead. |

That makes no sense at all. You are saying we should save SP for another suit, you do know it costs around 2.7m SP(One of the highest SP sinks) for a full proto, racial suit. You want someone to drop 5.4m into drop suits? You are mad. |

I'm generally quite anti-respec and while I personally would just save the SP up in advance of the new suits being released and enjoy the options I could see a reasonable case being made for one time suit only refund to those already speced into that frame type.
I would also explicitly state that this is during the release of the initial racial suits only. CCP will continue to add content over the years and building in a constant respec as they add new things is a flawed method. So one time refund of suit only points as the initial racial variants are released could work, anything beyond that and it's a no go.

Exactly, just a one time refund of drop suit SP because of this. It's not fair to to only bring out two classes full line of suits but put scout and heavy on the side. |

Agreed. With Pilot suits comming, us Pilots deserve our Drop suit SP refunded. Making changes is one thing. Adding a suit that was known but delayed is another.
The main reason is fairness. If i really wanted to play a caldari assualt or Ammar Heavey then I can get what i want and never have to use skill points in the wrong trees. But Anyone wanting to be a Min Heavy or Pilot doesn't have the option to get exactly what they want.
So we have unfairness. Some people got what they want with no wasted SP just so they could play. Some did not. Once all Core suits and roles are added then thats it. We have to suck up the changes |

I'm not against it in principle , I just think they have to draw the line somewhere. There will always be something new that will make people say "I invested X million SP into this thing, if I KNEW this was coming I wouldn't have bothered".... not excluding the fact that they will tweak and outright change certain bonuses on weapons/suits. Not to mention the people that spec into whatever is "new" at the time, realize "oh this sucks" and want to respec straight back again once the next "new" thing comes out. I see myself playing dust for the long haul and I feel I'll get to every suit I want to try out one day or the other, or i might just focus on one suit as long as i'm interested. Different playstyles I guess. |

I'm not saying once a new suit comes out refund SP, I'm just saying heavies and scouts have very slim choices compared to Assault/Logi. They say our choices have consequences but then only give heavies one choice and scouts two. Doesn't seem fair if you ask me. |

Exactly, If we had all the suits I wouldn't be pushing for a refund of SP(only the SP placed in dropsuits) Like I've said before, they say our choices have repercussions but then only give us bare bones drop suits. |

So you think its fair for heavies and scouts to have slim options while logi/assaults have a full line of suits? How can you be so closed minded. Heavies only have one option. ONE. How can you even think thats fair? How would you feel if your assault suits had only one racial frame while all the other roles had 4?

+1, but I disagree with the thought you have about giving special treatment to Scouts + Heavies. I, for one, would like a respec. I want to take this character into the Combat Medic role. Gallente Medium suits are terrible for this. They're good for support, no doubt! Don't get me wrong! But just not desirable combat-wise. I'd like to go into Amarrian Suits, so I can carry a Sidearm with all my equipment, and still have all the Triage/Support equipment I'd ever need.
I think the Gallente Logistics is more of a WP farming suit, and I disagree with that. I want to support my team more, which means by Triage AND Combat.
So yea, once more racial suits come out, I vote that we give an optional suit-only respec to EVERYONE. They should also do this because of the new classes that are coming out, which will **** players over, if they went into Assault, and later wanted Pilot, but only have 1m SP total, with 13k unallocated. :P |

I am a heavy and I agree heavies and scouts need a respec of SP but only that SP placed into basic frames or racial specialty, which is exactly what CPM Laurent was saying in his posts. |

That choice was there from the beginning for you to make. You should not receive a respec simply because you do not like the choices that you made. You should have examined all of the Raciall suits, thought about your play style, planned ahead, and spent your SP accordingly.
You live with the choices you make.
As a heavy, I had no choice except speccing into Amarr. If all Heavy racial variants were in game I would have to suck it up and use Amarr until I could get something else. |

In regards to weapons, and I'll use Assault Rifles as an example, many of the variants you see are actually just placeholders for racial variants. That being said when we get the Caldari Rail Rifle, that will be the new Tactical Rifle, and the Gallente Tac Rifle will cease to exist. This is much like how the Burst Assault Rifle will become the Minmatar Combat Rifle, and the Burst Rifle we have now will disappear. CCP has done something similar before with the "Type-2" series of dropsuits essentially being placeholders for Racial Variants.
While these changes are essentially cosmetic, there will be new skills involved and as such those who use those variants now, would need to train a new skill to keep using them. With that said, when it comes to racial variants of weapons and dropsuits, a partial respec would be the most fair way to approach this. This would mean that when the Combat Rifle and the Rail RIfle are released, all SP spent on Assault Rifles specifically would be refunded so players can either spec into those racial variants, or just go back into what they were using before.
I would stick to this concept as well for racial variants of suits. For example when Caldari and Amarr light frames are introduced, all SP spent on Gal/Min light frame suits should be refunded.
However, when it comes to releasing new role specific suits (such as Commando) people should not be refunded their points spent into Sentinel. The partial respec should be reserved for the addition of racial variants only. |

Well, if you read the rest, I said that some people might want to switch completely to another suit. I might want to go Pilot, when it comes out. I'm not going to just quit out on all 4m SP I just spent on Logi, just so I can do something new that will take me months to accomplish.
It's one thing to respec because people didn't like their decision. It's another to respec because new stuff is coming out, that's too hard to skill into WITHOUT a respec.
"That choice was there from the beginning for you to make". I can't make a decision that I don't know is coming. |

You could make a decision between 4 classes in the Role you desired to play.
New Roles of Dropsuits and vehicles, and New Classes of Dropsuits and Vehicles, New Maps, New Game Modes, New Weapons, New Modules, and New Equipment, etc. are all examples of EXPANSION content! No I do not think you should get a Respec for Expansion Content. Save SP for that.
EDIT: Having all Racial Variants for existing Dropsuits, Vehicles, Weapons, Etc. is Basic Content that is missing from the game, thus limiting our choices in these Existing Roles, Classes, Etc. We should get a respec for any SP spent in a skill line that does not have all Racial Variants.
If you spec into Assault, but then Pilot is added, further speccing into Pilot only adds diversification to the roles you can play, thus no SP wasted. If I spec into Amarr Heavy, then Minmatar Heavies are added, speccing into them makes all SP spent in Amarr a complete waste because it is still the same role just a different race. |

Respec options should only come to those needing same race suits that haven't arrived so a ammar heavy can switch to a amar scout or a caldari assault wants caldari heavy not someone that hates his proto heavy an wants a proto minmaninja cuz he gets killed by knifes an his race is actually amar with amar logi, can't happen like that or everyone gonna whine for respect cuz they picked crap two months ago |

You think ppl who specced into amarr heavy(the only heavy frame) should only be able to spec into another frame of the same race? That's the worst idea ever. How can you honestly think thats a good idea?
Friends we need to let CCP know what we want! What is fair! What is just for our heavy and scout brothers! |

No-ou, I'm just saying that 5,4M SP the price of maxing two things at the same time.
And if you don't want to multispec but rather have only the new commando suit then start saving SP now, or don't use up all your June respec points up.
If you don't have enough SP in sleeve then the price for using the new gear amongst the first is not running proto while waiting. (gotta admit tho that waiting sucks as we know timetables for new stuff are vague at best) |
