ISK Sinks are added intentionally to MMORPGs, they are needed to help fight and slow the constant inflation that occurs.

I think this is a bad idea, removing ISK sinks are bad, reducing demand for Implants is bad (as this will mean there are more on the market, price goes down, those that earn them will get less isk for them.

Plus side.. some people earn more isk, but now alliance FC's have to scream at their fleets to focus on killing **** rather than being the first to scoop the corpses for the chance of getting 100m ISK of implants.

If biomass could be converted into something useful, sure. The same way that salvaging a wreck produces useful non-module material such as armor plates and fried interface circuits, “salvaging” a frozen corpse might produce usable components in capsuleer-manufactured implant process. Or perhaps Quafe manufacture. Or clones. Or high-meta modules.

Terrible idea. The penalty for podding is a sec status hit. now your proposing the survivor 'usually the aggressor' gets to salvage what could potentially be 1.25 billion or more in implants. I see toons with absolutely no impulse controll all the time getting themselves richer by simply creating a toon capable of ganking a highsec Miner, then turning 10% to 20% of the value of an intact barge (now a wreck) into another ship to rinse and repeat. give those same toons the idea that they can hit the Motherload, and you will find shuttle wrecks all over empire as toons try to win the lottery. All players know that the isk spent on implants is lost as soon as you plug it in.

Lesson: sec status hit does not supress missed Ritalin doses, The possibility that over a billion isk can be gotten from a pod, is already in place it is called the bounty system.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.
