If you go in EVE, and train Gallente Frigate for example, here is what you get:
1. Atron
2. Imicus
3. Incursus
4. Maulus
5. Navitas
6. Tristan

So you get 6 ships (Suits) for one skill.

In Dust here is what Gallente Medium Frame suit gives you:
1. Gallente Medium Frame suit
2. Hmm... Nothing?


Give us more variations to unlock with each skill.
Give a Gallente suit with one extra low slot and one less high slot.
Give a Caldari suit with one extra high slot and one less low slot.
Give a Minmatar suit that has a speed between the Minmatar medium and Cal/Gal medium but with a bit extra base eHP
etc'

Not to mention you could fly a dozen ships reasonably well within a month. It is over 4 months to reach "PC-ready" in a single suit/gun combo in DUST atm. And that's IF you grind every week for 10+ hours.

The difference is that EVE has an actual skill tree. Dust has skills in a series of linear SP sinks and ~10% of the content we should have.

There isn't enough differences between races to make different suits in each of them. Wait a few months.

Small variations on the main suits.
This will greatly lower the perception of the grind, as you get more bang for your buck.

stop posting good ideas. I will never catch up to your likes at this rate.

Maybe they should just make "Racial Medium Frame" an (x10) or (x12) skill and you get the basic frame, assault frame, and logistics frame all at once.

That way if you nerf a class, at least people have fall backs.

Sure.
But this is a little way to help with the preception of the grind.
Small variations that will take exactly 10 minutes to push out the door.
Heck they can do it using streaming, they don't even need to do a build.

This makes no sense.

Linking "PC-Ready" in DUST514 and the ship types you could fly within a month in EvE is ludicrous.

Where in EvE would you be competing at the highest level after one month? (lighting a cyno for Cap ships is all I can think of)

Frigates are very important, capital ships alone or battleships alone can't win a fight. (Well, unless the enemy are capital and battleships only)

playing 2 hours a day to cap is grind

It is when the game is boring and doesn't offer anything except for the grind. I think most people probably care more about their SP at this point than what they're going to spend it on
