Cons:

It removes the point of having skills to begin with.
It removes the point of having attributes.
It removes attribute implants from the game.
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.

It's a hordid idea.
Live with your choices.

And how do you expect a new player to plan their characters correctly? Have you not noticed that your second character is always more highly optimised than your first? Implying that you learnt something that you did not know about with your first character. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that anyone's first character will be planned correctly.

None of your points are valid. Actually for most of them, I see the opposite.

So? How is that a problem? As people already said, it's not like training Mining V prevents you from ever training Large Projectile Turrets. You train something you later find useless? Well train something you want, nobody will stop you. A remap is only needed when going down one path stops you from taking another, which you might want in the future.

...or do you think that having played EVE for 6 months entitles you to instantly be able to use anything that someone else spent 6 months training for?

get some smart frineds... they should tell you exactly what to train.

and cost X amount of ISK based on how many SP's you are removing

You assume I speak for myself.

Ioci is an '05 char, I opened 2 in '06 and one in '07
Ocih is an '06 and she is a specialist as they come. As are the other '06 and the '07 chars.
The only one that's Splash is Ioci and it worked out. I wouldn't use SP resets for my chars, any of them.

I was speaking for people that train for 6 months to then be told they are useless in the FotM theatre EVE is in right now. It really doesn't matter to me what a noob does with thier 6 months of SP. It's still going to be a 10 mill or so SP Char. It's not like they are getting a free 10 mill SP. It would simply allow them to build from experience. Any Alt made, like mine, would be made correct. The only reason I even suggested it was thinking of a way to keep people in EVE.

Any solution based on ISK cost is not a solution.

Generating ISK in EvE is very easy if you know how. You would need to set the cost of SP removal very high to deter abusive usage and that in turn means that the noobies and people that do not know how to generate ISK will take a massive hit in the chin.
