Before the change, you had a max of (39 base + 25 basics + 25 advanceds + 25 implants)*1.1 learning = 125.4 maximum total possible. After the change, you will have 39+60 = 99 base + 25 implants = 124 max total, or an overall loss of 1.4 attribute points. Even if you ignore the skill that very few people train to L5, Presence, that's still a loss of 0.3 attribute points.
Ok, it's not a big drop (barely over 1% at a maximum and negligible for long-term "sensible" plans), but its still a drop nevertheless.
...
IMO, they should have only removed the 10 attribute-based learnings and added 10 to each basic value, but left the "learning" skill in place (the only "oddball" one), and nothing would be different at all. MOST of the learning skills would be gone, and the only remaining one would be easily trained.
Even more alternatively, yeah, go ahead with your plan, but also give us all an extra free remap and 2 unassigned attribute points, for +0.6 total additional max attribute points. I'd like that more.
Or, heck, just ONE extra, and dump it (temporarily) into charisma. That's only 0.4 loss at max possible attribute total potential (which is still not quite ok, but meh, that I can easily live with, even if I am almost done training even that now-completely-useless skill), and actually a 0.7 gain compared to "all L5 except L4 Presence" learning plans. That would render the starting player attributes 20/20/20/20/20 instead of the "proposed" 20/20/20/20/19cha. It makes far more sense that way.
DEAR NON-CAREFUL READERS, I am not complaining the learning skills get removed. What I am drawing attention to is the fine-tuning of the added attributes.
Make new players start at 20/20/20/20/20 instead of 20/20/20/20/19.
In other words, I ask at least for one extra base attribute point for everybody, for 100 base attribute total instead of 99, so that the maximum possible will be not just 124, but 125, closer to the old possible maximum of 125.4
MY OCD DEMANDS IT !!!
If you had a full set of +5s and all learning at five, you should already have HardenedTFU, surely?
