I was thinking, what if the Dev's were to remove the Force Sensitive Skill point cost. Right now, a Jedi must spend 24 skillpoints into their Force Sensitive boxes. Other players also put usually at least a few skillpoints into the Force Sensitive boxes. As of right now, grinding to get even one of those trees takes time, and I think if somebody really wants to put in the time into the force sensitive trees, and master all of them, they should be allowed to do so. This will also help Jedi as now they can invest more skillpoints into skills that well greater help the jedi at higher levels.
Of course, having 6 completed trees should still be required to get jedi, but it would be nice that everybody can get those skills and they take up no skillpoints, similar to Pilot. It would be even because every player would have the same opportunity to get the extra skills. And the regular players can then get the extra trees without having to modify their templates.
Just a thought, I think it would help everybody all around, what do you guys think?

Sounds pretty sweet to me, actually. Since it would apply to everyone equally, it can't be accused of imbalance. I know a few jedi that would be overjoyed for a sudden return of 24 skill points!
This is a toy idea, really. This sort of suggestion would be taken by the devs in an effort to appease the mob once they realize how much the game sucks post-CU. I expect to see many shiny toys thrown our way to keep us happy and paying.

I would like to see that, butI doubtitwould happen.However, it would be very cool to have those 24 pts invested in some more defense skills during the FS grind and more jedi abilities afterwards

I just think it would be a good idea, because it'll make FS more worth while. Currently, people pick up exactly how many trees they need. And it would encourage non Jedi to get the FS trees as they won't cost skill points, only time.

Sorta defeats the purpose of having skill points dont you think? The reason why there are skill points is so you make a choice in what you feel is important to you and your character, instead of getting a bonus to everything. Makes for good balance.
If you think about it, spending 4 skil points on +20 to melee defense is alot better then lets say you're a master fencer and wanted to get the TK melee defense for +20. You would have to spend about 25 points just to get the tk stuff to get just +15 melee defense

I just Think that it would be a nice bonus. I understand that spending 4 SP to get +20 melee defence is nice, but as a Jedi, i can honestly say that I think i can find better uses for some of the other things that you have to get in the FS lines. Melee and Ranged Defence are both nice, and supposedly after the CU Melee speed and Accuracy will help as well, but other then that the rest of the stuff is really meaningless. I have the crafting hoping that it would help me craft better lightsabers, and that is a definate no. I get no more benefits to crafting LS's then anybody else does, as far as I can tell anyway. This too might change after the CU, but my idea is that rather then skillpoints, just have the shear time it takes to get these skills be the balancing factor. If somebody wants to spend all the time and pick up every single tree, then let them. I for one would just like the extra Skillpoints for spending in Jedi, it isn't a whole lot, but the extra bonus would help a great deal.
And like i said, it can't be considered unbalanced because everybody can get the exact same skills.

I'm not trying to make anybody into a Almighty character, this suggestion won't make any unbalanced issues because every player can achieve the same skills. I'm not saying that the FS skills should cost 0 for only jedi, or for only Non-jedi, i'm saying have them cost 0 for everybody. That gives everybody the exact same chance to get teh exact same skills. Nobody can get better then anybody else.
So i don't see why you think that removing the skillpoint cost from the FS skills will make anybody Uber.
