how would you know about anything past 1.7?

Cmon, we're getting a free booster, we have all this extra SP, and you guys still want a respec?

Let it go. I wanted a respec until I decided to try out scrambler pistols. Just do something new. IWS has it right in this regard; his omni-soldier build means he can try something new every week.

Respecs should only come if there is massive change. Uprising needed one. We don't need one now. I'd say the only real necessity would come from racial dropsuits, BUT remember that there is the possibility of pirate faction dropsuits, which require two dropsuit skills anyway.

Or if they totally change the skill system again. But I really doubt it. I'll admit the skill system ain't perfect, but I realise it probably doesn't need drastic change either.

And just a note: I've never played with boosters. My unallocated SP usually never goes above 500k. I have prototype gear but I'm not satisfied. I'd love to try something new with a respec, but the whole point of progression crumbles.

The whole reason New Eden keeps you coming back, the whole reason you keep complaining even as you play, the whole reason two years down the track the game will be twice as good if not better, is because of this progression. It's because you can't undo your mistakes like the stat reallocations that almost every other MMORPG allows you to purchase.

So deal with it. In the long-term we will lose more players than we keep if people keep getting respecs. The game will lose its purpose.

Thats easy to say when your entire class is not getting built from the ground up again

I will lose vehicles/skills/mods/weapons and the skills we have left are being changed

The entire vehicle tree is being reworked
