Player Features and Ideas Discussion

1] Been forced to choose between an Omega set implant or a common hardwiring in slot 6 was always a bit annoying to me.I'm not saying it is something broken,but i would like to suggest this :

Remove all the Omega set implants and distribute their bonuses to the other 5 set implants in slots 1-5.This way we get the 6th slot free to input a Hardwiring of our choosing and at the same time not lose the bonuses offered from the Omega set implants since they are distributed to the rest of the specific implant set.I am sure you can find an optimal way to distribute the Omega bonuses and regulate implant set prices accordingly.

2] Proposing the addition of a Regular implant set to all the sets that currently have only Low-Grade versions,like Nomad & Virtue sets.I'm not suggesting neccessarily to introduce more powerfull versions of these sets,as there are balancing factors involved.I will simulate my thought with a specific examble,say the Nomad set :

Make the current Low-Grade version of Nomad a Regular version and introduce a new Low-Grade Nomad set with lower bonuses & ofcourse lower price.The same for all other implant sets that currently have only a Low-Grade version.If you think you can introduce more powerfull versions without affecting game balance then i'm all in for it,as long as each implant set currently existing in game can have 2 versions,the Regular and the Low-Grade.My point is not about introducing more powerfull versions (i leave that decision to you),but to enrich each implant set with 2 versions.

Applying the 2 above modifications to the implant set mechanics,i think will make this aspect of the game simpler,give it symmetry & allow players to be more flexible in their implant setups,as the 6th slot will be available just for hardwirings and each implant set will have 2 versions as mentioned above,with the Low-Grade been more affordable than they are now,granted with lower bonuses.

I can understand your explanation about the first suggestion,you are right ofcourse.The specific proposal about the 6th slot & Omega was mainly inspired by the fact that the last 2 years i have this feeling CCP wanting to make some aspects of the game simpler & more versatile.Someone could argue that the tradeoff as you accurately described is the very high price you pay for that Omega implant,but i can accept your explanation as a more logical one (what you said about been intentional,makes sense.)

I was aware about the prices been regulated by the players and not CCP,it was a formulation error on my part.In any case i think its not hard to introduce a 2nd tier for sets like Nomad or Virtue in a way like the one described in my previous post,new modules-items are introduced every now and then and i assume that on some point they will stabilize on a specific price range.

By the expression simpler i didn't meant by any way that the current mechanic is complex,just to avoid any further confusion.To compare it to a change already applied for quite some time,i meant in a way just like when they removed all the learning skills and we stopped having to train them.That doesn't imply that when we had the learning skills it was a complex mechanic.More complex or less simple than without the learning skills,yes.

1.) I know how powerfull the omega implants are.I didn't suggested to remove Omega implants just like that , i suggested to remove Omega implants & distribute their full bonus to the rest of the set,so that we still get the bonus.You don't have to think of the reason because i already mentioned it was my wish to have the 6th slot free just for hardwirings,it was an innocent wish and not a complaint.It didn't crossed my mind to think that the thing with the 6th slot is intentional as mxzf explained,but i did accepted it when i read his post.
How do you mean you don't have any sympathy for me?Sorry English is not my native and i can't figure out if this was meant as an offense or a joke.

2.) I am not saying we need them,just suggesting to add a 2nd tier in all implant sets that currently have only a Low-Grade.Do we need all the other implant sets that do have 2 versions,like the Crystal,Grail and the rest?If it has something to do specifically with the Nomad,Virtue sets for examble and game balancing & someone can explain why we have some sets just with Low-Grades and others sets with a Low-Grade and a Higher Grade please do so freely.
Mxzf corrected me about making a statement in my original post that prices where regulated by CCP.I ofcourse was aware about that ,it was just a formulation error on my part.I also mentioned that this happens whenever new modules\items are introduced in the game\market.So how can this be an obstacle for introducing new implants (whatever kind) in the game?

Finally everything above were just suggestions,in a way they were meant as questions as well.Not meant as complaints or "things that need to be done".
