What this game needs is less BPOs, not more.

The more BPOs the less the buying of fits matter, which is kinda a Unique Selling Point and the sole reason why Dust is still bearable as far as gameplay goes.

I just want an even playing field man. There is no reason why people should get such a massive advantage just because they happened to pick the right weapon/suit.

So instead of using 18000 sp and 900 isk you want to spend zero?

I am going to assume that you meant 18000 Aur (for a blue print) other wise your post doesn't make since to me and that by 900 ISK you meant for a milita BPC (which is actually 585 ISK).

now that we have got that cleared up here is the deal:

Let's take the Gallente for example:

The Gallente millitia variant has no high slots three low slots and 25 PG (I am only listing the stats that are different between the suits). 585 ISK.

The Gallente std varient has one high slot three low slots and 30 PG. 6,800 ISK.

The Caldari militia variant has two high slot one low slot and 26 PG. 585 ISK.

The Caldari std variant has two high slots, two low slots and 30pg. 6,800 ISK.

Now, let's say that I have all of my SP into Gallente related skills (armor plates, armor repair, arguably biotics - if you don't have the lows to equip them then you can't use them). So this is the problem: why should someone get such a mass advantage just because they happened the pick Caldari? The difference is between free and having to spend 6,800 ISK every time you die. Do I care about 6,800 ISK every time I die? Yea I do.

With a Gallente suit on my main character, the cheapest std suit I can build costs 20,120 ISK. It has 199 HP shields, 400 HP armor and a 6.25 HP/sec repair rate

With the Caldari on my main character, the cheapest std suit I can build costs 10,335 ISK. It has 329 HP shield, and 288 HP armor. Now this Caldar suit has a grand total of 17 more eHP than my Gallente at the cost of 6.25 HP/sec repair rate and an almost 100% increase in cost. Do I care about this? Yes I do. Why should others get such an advantage for no other reaso than that they happened to pick the right race.

My Gallente character specializes in assault rifles and I use the assault rifle BPO on my Caldari as well, but what about other characters, like the one that I am writing this post with? He is full Amarr and not only does it hurt him skill wise to be in a Caldari suit but he also has no skill for the AR. All his skills are into SR. That means that I have to spend another 1,500 ISK/death for this character, to buy a proper weapon.

I think that this stuff is important an needs to be adressed by CCP.

No I meant 18000 sp to skill into scrambler rifle then 900 isk to buy one but they are actually 1200isk. Standard gear is so cheap to buy and skill into. I don't see the fascination with having infinite suits.
