I was first very possitive about this , then read a bit of reddit and thought that maybe i was wrong and it was so nice after all . Then i thought a bit more , in the end its not so "bad" or gamebreaking . But neither it is that good .
For example point 1 , new players . New player has little SP no money and no friends , he also may soon realise he will need an alt its almost mandatoory . His choice is either accept harsh universe or put a hefty real money investment . Both i think bad , i like the idea of giving money as bonus , for skins clothes (i have a monocle and 2 bionic arms right now ) But older players those who are investing in EVE not new people it scares and alienates them , there is already to much talking about p2w .
Point 2 new players friends of veterans , probably aimed customer base , but i for example am introducing a new friend right now . I specced his attributes right and doing a super focused training , so he gets "viable" asap . Also we are considering getting a starter alt/main oof 15-30 sp to dual train or to be viable before main acc gets to this point . Money and ships arent a probllem i will provide this . So here yes i could inject him with 2 3 milions (btw he has already 5milions so diminushing returns kick in ) So already loosing , alsoo acelerator should be better used AFTER injecting a boost of 5 milion sp so you get full profit withoout diminuishing returns . Anyway usefullness is there i see it "here" .
Old characters : if someone has 1 trilion isk and 200kk sp i dont rlly care if he gets 20 more milions or not , doubt many do . If you are dirty rich for example Mittani and he has either 150kk sp or 300kk sp anyone cares ? Not rlly it doesnt give him that much of advantage . And they also reduce sp ingame which is good .
The problems : I think would be bad skills , i think xxxxxx SP into mining and xxxxxx into space ship comand is a big difference .
Training with 2 attrributes maxxed and then just spread around those SP , or having full leadershiip social section done without never respecing into social is a bit to good .
Now if we for example have command ships we do not need to train prerequisites , what will happen in such situations ?
To be honest i think it puts a BIG barrier between REAL newbies , and current players base & co .
Even if i like the idea where how it started i dont rlly like the implementation , not cos of p2w and so on . But i think there should be other ways to make a "bought" character "yours" . I understand name wipe and corp history is out of question but i would rather look into that directiion .
Opportunities multiply as they are seized.
