Like to follow the big fights and pick up what's left? Well most of that isk is falling through the cracks; let's give the buzzards something else to munch on!


Corpse Examination (x3) Intel/Mem: Implant retrieval modifier: 1% per level.

When you collect corpses, they retain the implants the pilots were flying. Each implant has a 1 to 5% (depending on skill level) chance of being retrieved. For a full clone of 10 implants, you have 10 5% chances of retrieving an implant at lvl 5. If that's a 100 million isk +5, or similarly expensive pirate implant, it could be very worthwhile to salvage the biomass of your late capital ship pilot's vessel.


**Bonus** New implant line! Hardwiring - Eifyr and Co. 'Examiner' CA-1, 2 and 3! Grants a 1, 2 and 3% Implant retrieval modifier.


**This technology is only available because of the advent of new corpse storage techniques, thus corpses currently stockpiled are unable to be examined, and corpses left on the battlefield for longer than an hour will be similarly ruined.**

This is predicted to have negligible effect on the market, as a worst-case maximum of 8% of all lost implants would be circulated, if every corpse was examined by a maxed-out and implanted scavenger.

No, this is not a good idea still. Searching would have let you know this comes up alot.
Implants are a necessary isk sink, as there are so few isk sinks. This would render almost useless that isk sink.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

no - this would destabilise the implant market (which for the most part are probably too cheap atm) and reduce consequence from PVP-ing with that set of implants - KEEP THE CONESQUENCE

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

I like the idea, I have thought of much the same.

It would keep the consequence... for the loser.

It would make winning (slightly) better.

This is a terrible idea for all the reasons stated above.
