Alright, I got this idea.... Like most people I enjoy pvping, and I'm always looking for that edge. Hardwirings can provide great bonuses and in some cases can be required to make specific fits available. The down side is you can only clone jump once a day. Most people don't limit their skills to one weapon type or ship fit making it difficult to switch ships on the fly and have hardwirings that will provide a boost to that ship/fit, which is their intended purpose. So here is my idea....

How about implementing a Pilot Suit? It would be a item that you would have to equip to the pilot almost like making a different ship active. They could be transported from station to station in your ships cargo like any other item. This way you can install different hardwirings into each pilot suit you choose to buy, allowing you to switch your pilots suit in accordance to the ship you would like to receive bonuses with. It doesn't change the mechanics of how hardwirings work, you would still lose them in the event you got podded and the suits would have a chance to drop when carried in your cargo if the ship was destroyed.

Last but not least, it would add another element to the hardwirings market. Being able to sell a fitted suit like a rigged/fitted ship. Of course you could remove the hardwirings and destroy them if you were unhappy with your selection or combination, or throw your suit on contracts and sell it to someone who may find it useful... I believe the once a day timer shouldn't change for implants because those are implanted into that specific clone. Hardwirings are meant to boost specific ships/mods so why put a timer on them if you want to go from a missile based ship to something with turrets?

Constructive criticism welcome, keep the basing elsewhere please.

sorry, mis-post, was editing and accidentally hit quote... maybe another idea would be the addition of a remove/delete button for the author of a post?

So you want non-removable neural implants to be stored in a suit. What.

Nope.

Well of course if the Pilot suit was introduced, by definition the hardwiring wouldn't be considered a Neural upgrade. The same factors would still apply, it would remain non-removable unless destroyed. The changes would be how you apply them, the ability to change your pilots upgraded suit to boost the ship you are flying and the definition of the hardwiring.

Like i stated before i think the timer makes sense for character attribute bonuses, and having to plug those into specific clones. I how ever don't feel you should have to wait out that timer if you are flying a drake and want to switch to something a cane.

How about moving the hardwiring over to the ship? Much like rigs they would be unremovable, but directly interfaced with the pilots pod chamber.

I suppose that could work, but wouldn't that almost be the same as keeping them on the character? The only way to change them other than destroying them would be to jump clones, unless you could store multiple pods?

I suggested 100% synthtic capsuleer clones that can remove and add implants like a module and people said no, I want to kill you and ur implants that u use for PVE so stfu. That is wat they will tell you.

EDIT: Although an upgraded pod interface does sound intriging. I want bubble jets in my POD +10% shield booster cause it relaxes you like the blue pill
