Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I had to do a double take on the underlined part.

You need to brush up on your logic.

- Character gets full implant-like bonuses for being docked (without having to pay for anything).
- Character loses full implant-like bonuses when undocked (because he/she doesn't want to pay for implants).

Now explain to me what the incentive is for undocking?


You missed the point about this affecting wormholers. And Null-sec to a lesser degree.

Most people in either area of the game don't have implants... because warp disruption bubbles all but assure pod kills.

And in wormhole space there are no stations to dock in.


Ergo... the only characters that will gain maximum benefit from this are characters that exist solely in high-sec and never take part in any player vs. player combat.

What an absolutely awful idea.

Is bad.

Implant ISK sink is good. ISK advantage is also relatively good and healthy.

Its having a slight appeal to me.


Its awful no doubt but I like the presentation.

It uses the (absurd) logic of Ford Prefect to the road clearing crew foreman from hitchhikers guide. Since we can assume Mr. Dent will be laying in front of the bulldozer all day long and the crew will be doing nothing anyway we don't need him to be actually laying there now do we?


This rates a 10/10 if trolling. Which I hope it is. The other option is well....we have a good case of why random drug testing is a necessary evil in this world lol.

ohhhhh, I see, so basically you want to make it easier for people to hop into PVP clones?

the problem with your idea is that it also affects those without clones and without implants


also -
shah has the right of it (kinda), a couple of minor adjustments
WH'ers have some pretty expensive sets of clones all too often (at least the high enders, who i presume you're not worried about), but they're also inversely treated to everyone else in the thread.....
null-seccer's frequently have several clones, including one of +5's which may or may not be in HS - this change MIGHT pull those +5 clones to null if they're not already there

the characters who gain max benefit from this are HS casual PVP'ers, including those who already own +5's
then probably new players who get a set of +5's every time they dock


perhaps a better way to achieve what I'm percieving your aims to be would be to:
adjust the jump clone mechanic, so HS-HS transfers have less cooldown than null-null transfers

I apologise for not answering each comment individually, if the topic is still alive come sunday, I will have done so by Sunday 0000 (UTC)

It's a little early for Poast of the Year awards, but this certainly looks like a lock for 2015.
