Why would anyone waste money on SO's prior to level 20 when basic IO's are cheaper, have better bonuses, and don't need to be replaced.

I'm not opposed to the idea of stronger IOs in the low game, I just think it's kinda pointless and they aren't needed.
Also, I'm completely against something this good being tied to Vet Rewards.
Uhh, yeah.. how about no?
As first off, this isn't even needed, as come on.. how long does the 1-22 trip take? That's right, not long so one should do just fine with TO's/DO's till then.
If that's not enough, one can always use YO's to fill up some gaps.
So this gets an /Unsigned from me, especially in the form of an veteran reward.
Well like it says in the fine print, it doesn't HAVE to be tied to Vet rewards, in fact, I even mentioned that I truly DON'T want it to be tied towards it.
As for your point Forbin of how IOs being cheaper, that may be so, but they also require much more time to create; you have the find the recipe, find the salvage, then haul yourself over to the nearest university to craft it. SOs are simple, find vendor, buy what you need, slot up.
For the people that want them, they'd be available, for the people that don't, they're more than welcome to continue using their basic TOs. Everybody wins.

Just for clarity I wasn't talking about crafting IO's. I buy mine from the market ans rarely spend more than 2,000-5,000. More often than not I pick them up for less.|

I also plan ahead by placing regular bids on items (10 at a time) I use all the time and throw them into storage for when I need them on a new character. There are plenty of players that are always working on their crafting badges and throw what they make for sale dirt cheap.
Anyone that has a little patience can do what I do.

I don't think we need earlier access to SOs, though. The Vets should mostly know what they are doing and be able to get around feeling 'under-enhanced', at least when dealing with the traditional CoH/CoV low-level mobs.
Level 10 IOs offer better percentages than an SO? SOs are 33%, you don't hit "equal" with the enhancement values until around level 25, if I recall.

IO bonuses are cumulative when slotting. If a single common IO gives you a bonus of 20% two of the same common IO gives you a bonus of 40%
SO bonuses are not cumulative. If a single SO gives you a bonus of 20% a +1 SO only gives you a bonus of 21%.
