It already costs very little, but what i've discovered is that in C2, more than ever before, SP use is EXTREMELY important, and people will be extremely unlikely to waste even a single one for fear they'll need it later on down the line.

Therefore they never get SM. And thus a huge chunk of lower level content is blocked, something i really dont think should happen.

So just lower the SP cost from 3 or 4 or whatever, to 1 per level. It's hard enough to build bases, no need to make it any less likely to happen at low levels!

Signed.

Add in missions and stuff to tell nubs what they're getting into. I've found a few level 300's that had to band together(normally, a level 300 does not) to kill level 350 slumbers because all of them got sm16 and couldn't keep a base up, wasting the sp a level 300 normally puts into core/class skills that'd allow them to kill those slumbers.

Then they are morons?
Wing 4 2hits Slumbers whit its SSS
Rag 1-2 hits slumbers
Several ai can be raded in w0-2 and they will rape slumbers

new players do not know this.

The SSS should not be THAT powerful.

Slumber's don't have their super items yet...

And I agree with the suggestion. Skill points should mostly be to define your characters combat characteristics, so this is a good idea. It should be mostly about costing credits and not SP.
