There are a ton of skill books within Eve Online that are often required before everything else and they don't have any passive bonuses whatsoever. Just take a look at the Eve market for plenty of examples. Dust is no different if you want to talk about SP sinks.

But EvE requires no effort in skilling. You just need isk to buy whatever book it is you need. Its just AFK'ing the game and logging in when the skills finish to que up some more.

I quit playing EvE. had a 3 month sub because they were doing a special. Played for a month and quit, didnt even bother relogging to check my skills. I dont like EvE for very specific reasons which i wont list because im sure i would catch a ban for a 'rant'.

If you are not willing to put forth the dedication or time into it, then you are playing the wrong game. After all, DUST is operating under the same rules of New Eden which Eve players have established and nurtured for ten years.

Even after ten years, you are still not done because CCP will put in more skill books, more weapons, more everything over the course of 10 years just like how they did with Eve. CCP will not allow you to train everything within a single year because doing so will just make the game even more boring than it already is because then everyone will have everything and thus the feeling of accomplishment of reaching a certain level is severely diminished. Yes, I know Eve Online is an entirely different game on a PC, but keep in mind that we are operating in a universe whose economy, politics, community, and philosophy were all built and established by the players themselves which is why you see stories of epic proportions coming out of Eve. Without the Eve players, Dust would not have existed. That said, we owe it them to stick the core principles of New Eden which are as follows: Adapt or Die Dont use what you can't afford to lose. Accept the permanent consequences of your choices. These principles are immutable and non-negotiable and they don't recognize boundaries. The console industry is another boundary that New Eden is crossing into. New Eden is not obligated to follow the mainstream rules of the console industry.

Please post one, also if there's a ship that benefits from it (ie 3% faster hybrid turret tracking per level) it also doesn't count as our basic (t1) suits get no bonuses. Since you put it that way, I have no idea.
