Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm of the opinion that nothing in game should be wasted, and as-is corpses serve no purpose right now other than clutter in space and/or hangars.

I'm sure salvaging corpses for implants, or parts of implants, has been suggested many times - so I sought to look for other uses corpses may have in addition to that.

My answer: manufacturable jump clones.

Imagine this: You salvage several corpses and gain some neural interfaces and various mostly intact body parts. With enough of these, you could hack together a Frankenstein-esque clone.

What advantage does this provide? Several potential uses I can see:
Movable in ships - allows players to put a JC in a station they may not have standings for
Contractable - allows players to sell clones in remote areas
Economic - opens up several new lines of materials to be bought, sold, and consumed by players

Balance implications:
This would certainly shake up null warfare, allowing for the mass transit of jump clones to distant space, allowing corporations to rapidly deploy pilots (albeit their ships would have to be moved traditionally)
To make these new clones more balanced and provide some lore as well, they may come with defects - perhaps the inability to use implants, or various debuffs akin to those associated with boosters.

These would be temporary quick travel clones, not intended for long term use.

Discuss!

Well, for starters since it was built out of salvaged parts, its not my features and genetics you're getting.

Think of it like a "base model" human body that you can hop into for temporary use.

Or just to eat.

Yummy yummy corpses...
