Stop requiring skill points at all! Roll a toon, fly any ship, fit any mod!
Oh, so people can be instantly immersed...start them off with a billion ISK!
They were badasses in WoW, let them instantly transfer their badassedness here!

Kidnapping them and forcing them to play at gunpoint would be more effective tbh.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

But that would be chaos and there would be LOADS OF BIG, JUICY HALFWIT TARGETS FLYING ABOUT EVERYWHERE, CRYING AND WAILING AND DYING HORRIABLY so no I'm sorry but this cannot be allowed to happen.

Just channelling CAM for a bit, don't mind me.

I agree with you OP. There are allot of skilled people that try eve and get squished under just because of skills. All the opposition reminds me of older sibling syndrome "Well how come so an so doesn't have to train for it I did! It's not fair!" The truth is most of them are afraid that they would fall from the top of the heap under newer players who are actually awesome and not just appearing to be because of their massive points advantage. Your proposal would level the playing field and make eve truly a game of wits and skill and not just about who's played the longest. The reason behind CCP opposition is obvious in that last sentence.

Someday.

I'd use some sort of molecular glue and porta-potty combination.
