Ok, here's an idea. What if when you join a VR match, the spawn screen changes so that all fits except fully BPO'd suits start as invalid. If you want to use a non BPO suit, you must make it valid by paying the full cost of the fitting, and then recieve unlimited spawns. This would go for vehicles too.
So if I save my pennys and scrounge together 1.5 mil 'spare' isk, I could spend the next four or so matches practicing flying my Incubus much more aggressively, but with the instant loss of ~380k at the beginning of each match.
Basically, this would prevent it from becoming a place for people to infinitely joyride expensive gear just because it's free.

I like how much more in depth this is. So if im understanding correctly, for every 'unique' fit, you would have to pay for it

The idea is to not loose anything, including isk, for training purposes. That would stop a lot of people. Why spend the isk in a "training battle", get nothing in return when they could do that in a pub match and earn isk/wp/sp while doing so?

For example, a vet with a super awesome dropship, (unlike mine,) could offer to teach a squad of prospective ADS pilots, and divide the cost between them.

The point is, that VR training rooms are something which could very quickly become the single most abused mechanic in the game. I would love to get %100 free stuff, but it would be bad for the game and not in line with the sandbox concept of 'Everything you use, you had to buy or build, and if you die everything you had on is lost.' SgtMajSquish, in answer to your question, yes. Each 'unique' fit that you wish to use must be purchased, and once purchased, you may deploy as many as you want for no additional cost.

An adaptation certainty, but I don't think it was watered down. I really think that I built on your idea your idea.
