D legendary hero wrote: starting off with 500,000 SP and 250,000ISK is a horrbible way to keep noobs in the game. what can you do with 500,000 SP? I suggest that CCP adjust: 1. the new player initial unallocated SP to 2.5 million SP (with that much initial SP even if you randomly wasted it it wuld eventually become useful for you), 2. initial ISK to 1.5 million ISK. 3. they should have no skill CAP while in the academy, 4. should be able to respec at will while in the academy. 5. once they reach 4 million SP, they then graduate the academy and are informed that they are no longer part of the academy and that there will be no respecs, there is a skill CAP, etc. most players now have way over 7 million SP. the least amoung experiences players is 5 million SP. with 5 million SP, you can take on even the toughest proto bear, if your skills are in the right spot. giving new players the chance to repec while in academy at will will give them a taste for what they like. Disagree on your numbers a bit (4 million SP before leaving the academy is ABSURDLY high, I would instead say 1m or 1.5m maximum). I also agree that 250,000 isk is too low. Even basic, and very critical skillbooks cost twice that. In fact I would suggest removing the ISK cost entirely for books that players should be getting right off the bat, specifically the first few skills in the weapons and dropsuit upgrades tree. Rather I think there should be a graduation bonus of SP and ISK upon leaving the academy. This way if you blow your skills early on worthless stuff you may have a second chance to put a batch of SP into something useful. Respecs during academy are a good idea, or maybe just one respec once you graduate. Lastly, 10,000 WP is too low, it should be like 30k or 50k. For those saying that we should feed noobs to the sharks, I would acknowledge that this is going to happen anyway, and extending the academy experience isn't intended to avoid the eaten-by-sharks experience. Its just that simply more time is needed to figure out the basics first. Also, FW should be closed to academy people, period.

Take some militia suits and a drop uplink and go hit some skirmish matches. Frankly, I think proto suits should stay good, and I think they're balanced against lower suits its most respects except for the massive HP certain proto suits can get (far more than std vs mlt or adv vs std).
