Something Kitty Mckitty said in another post got me thinking.... Yeah, yeah. I know. Don't think etc.....
Buuut, there's been a lot of talk over time, some for just plain old lols, about buying SP's etc. in game... Obviously buying SP's is akin to gold ammo imho and would be abused out of proportion. It's a pretty clear "no fn way!" from me.
I wonder though if the idea of redistribution of SP's has ever been discussed?
SP's to a player are a very valuable commodity, i..e. try buying a high SP char through the Bazaar.
Would it be in the games best interest to allow a redistribution of SP's for the individual every 30 days (for arguments sake). A little bit like attributes every 12 months but make it more much dynamic for players, specifically PvP'ers, FC's, alliance needs etc...
Would this be a suweeet option for you? Imagine, today I could fly HACS, tomorrow I could fly a Hulk (choke).....
- Would there be ramifications to Eve? If so, what would they be?
- Would you benefit from/enjoy such an option?
Box.....

I miss Tom Gerard, at least his rants were funny.
It ain't a troll and I really don't care for your tone. -50 internets for you!
I used to think FA dudes were kinda cool..... Recruit standards must have slipped.

Otherwise I'd be able to buy a massive industry toon, turn it into a titan pilot, blow up your sov, turn it into an outpost building toon, build an outpost, then max it out to do whatever I want next. You'd have virtually infinite SP, and have no purpose to rely on anyone else for anything, ever again.
Hey dude, read my post, that would take ya 90 days. 
EDIT: In fact, you could buy 3 toons and do it all in one day...... I can see the headlines. LONE Titan pilot captures a slice of FA space and builds an outpost.

Though I wouldn't mind having Mining 1 removed.
Yeah, I get the FOTM thing. But why would it be horrible to the game?
I mean firstly, using Kitty's hypothesis about making "beautiful people", then you simply wouldn't use your remap so that's a non-event
I just can't see why me changing my skills around occasionally would or should affect you. The number of SP's wouldn't change and I'm not advocating buying SP's so no advantage there.
Is it because you expect the logi pilot you saw in your last fight to remain a logi pilot? So he turns up in a HAC instead. What of it?

Practiced skills continue to grow, new interests take root, and old hobbies fade away. I'd be cool with a once a year redistribution of SP. If there is an overwhelming trend to flocking to flavor of the month, it just means CCP failed at balancing things properly.
FOTM, as much as it's a oft used terminology, happens anyway. Fleet doctrine on ops is sooooo FOTM and changes regularly .
From this, imagine fleet fights! You expect Alliance X to turn up with a drake blob and they show up in armoured canes... woot, surpise!!
A well co-ordinated alliance could really have fun with this as a concept.

It removes variety and instead encourages FOTM and cookie-cutter setups. It removes the uniqueness, history and "character" of your character. It removes planning and choice and consequences. It removes goal-setting, progression and any achievement in those areas. It kills character trading. It massively boosts older characters over new ones. It introduces "catching up" as a concept in EVE and instantly makes it impossible to do.
Gosh darn it.
Now you posted, no point continuing. I've only got 50 more years to live and I ain't quoting my life away...
Ciaou baby.
