Tradeable Neural Remaps

Have an option to convert a neural remap into an in-game item, similar to an implant.
A player can use one of these implants to perform a neural remap on themselves as normal (Despite being an implant, it doesn't take up one of your 10 implant slots, nor does it prevent you from using additional remap implants later).

Allow these re-map implants to be sold on the open market.

Remove the 2 bonus re-maps each character gets; each character only gets their yearly remap.

Yearly remap timers are tied to your character slots. Meaning if you roll an alt burn their remap to create the implant and give it to your main, you can't just biomass that alt to get another free remap; that alt's slot is on the 1 year timer.


The current remap setup.. where your main character has 3 remaps available to them from the start... can be maintained if you give your two alts' remaps to your main.

For players who might need a boost of isk, they could opt to sell one of their remaps for some early cash.

Wealthier players can choose to buy as many remaps as they can afford to be more flexible with their skill training.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

NO

Choice and consequences. Being rich should not allow you to easily circumvent choices, remapping whenever it suits you.

Also the prospect of players farming alts for remaps is truly horrible.

I already put in a way to prevent alt farming. You get 3 remaps per year, one for each character slot on your account.

Doing this would be about choice. You have the choice to gain ISK rather than remap.

So for the low low price of one plex and a pile of trial accounts, you can have an infinite number of remaps?

The ability to effectively remap whenever you want would render character stats null and void as a gameplay mechanic. There's not much point in adding a feature that completely negates one of your core gameplay mechanics. Nevermind one that's rife with potential for exploitation.

you never explain this, so on its face everyone will reject your idea as you demand to take away the remaps we already have recieved.

id like to buy remaps, but not if you are stealing ones i already have banked.

We are our own worst enemy.

so your saying grant a load of money to players for just creating characters....

I don't like this idea much I'm afraid.
