Hey guys, look at all the new content we are making available ONLY in LOWSEC. Moar low to low WHs'? Have em. Unique implant sets? Why not. New Battleships? Have at it boyos. Ore refining? Didn't want those botters anyway. New modules? I'm sure the low-rats have enough cargo to haul em.

What about the rest of space, hmmm?

So. Two balance-related things.

In the first place, I'm going to third the current Centurions, Edges, and Harvest sets being nonstarters. I'd love it if these implants were shifted to EWar strength, booster strength, and mining amount, respectively-- even if the actual amounts of the bonuses fell notably, these would be advantages that players would clamor for, as opposed to bonuses that are only really marginally advantageous to people dedicated to those playstyles. I suspect if you look these up, you'll find that their useage rate compares unfavorably with the other implant types.

In the second place, what thoughts would you have about releasing a high-grade set of the non-pirate faction sets? The Nomad and Virtue sets are both popular, and I'm sure players would love to get a chance to field more powerful versions-- at appropriately painful prices. ;)

You're obviously oblivious to the absolutley **** state that non-fw lowsec has been in for years. These changes are much needed and appreciated.

Love pretty much everything here, thank you.

And thanks for finally rewarding pvpers with equal bonuses to attributes like everyone else.

Stealth lowsec buff \o/ Keep em coming.

Please consider something along the lines of allowing mixing these hardwirings with a really expensive Omega, just for variety and randomness.

Can Crystals be used on caps yet to effect though (genuine query)?

Although to be fair you can pop out of your wormholes and take advantage everywhere. Logistics, random fights, quiet areas to grind. And you reside in the gold frontier for the competent.

Fozzie is it true what I have heard regarding cutting the supply of genolution CA-1, CA-2 implants due to too many people using what was initially designed to be a random fun implant set?


What supply? CCP hasn't handed any out lately, AFAIK.

That would just result in massively overpowered apssive shield tanks on some ships. This coudl be doable only if the implant also nerfed the shield regen rate.

Not really. I lived quite comfortably in non-fw low for quite a while. Built a dread or two, and had the frequent gud fite.Then Shadow Cartel came and paid us a visit.

Well, let's be honest here. Would you bring a fleet into someone's home system knowing full well that your way out will close behind you, and that they are able to resuply, refit, and adapt to whatever you bring?
Alternatively, would you take on a 20 man WH site running fleet, with capital and web loki suport, while simultaneously locking yourself in system?

Not many people do. Sure, we have the folks over at Blood Union, but those fights are very cherry picked tbh (no offence guys, love to see you working). PVP requires a lot of work from time to time. Some other times, we just get blessed with people not paying attention.

All in all, I want less ****** gas, and better nebulae in our WHs. I think I'm being reasonable (Although the new stupid arrays for scanning turning into active modules made me a wee bit mad. Hero anathema, welcome back)

These implants will drop as complete items at this time, not blueprints.

And more information will be coming about the sites that these come from in the coming days. I can say it's a new development in the saga of the pirate research efforts that take place at the Ghost sites.


I feel like I've said this a dozen times, in fact I said it earlier today, but thanks for showing low sec some love!!!
Will the new LG sets be tied to the new exploration sites for obtaining the new ship skins (e.g. blood raider ship skins)? Or is that going to be separate?

I am very happy about these changes. I wonder, though, are you / the devs happy with how much (i.e., how little) some of the pirate sets are used? The game really has changed since some of these...strange...implants were introduced, why not take the opportunity to revise some of them? Is there any plan to add HG to the sets which currently lack HG versions?

Also, why not have another level of high grade which is otherwise equal to HG sets but gives +5 to the attributes?

Call them the "bling" grade and I am sure if you implemented them you would get a nice thank you card from a certain pilot known as Santo... Big smile

I'm assuming the low-grades will be somewhat more common than mid and high grades, but lowsec only.

Like the sound of this. More stuff to fight over in lowsec is always good.

A Wyvern can get as much / more EHP than a slaved Aeon.

Considering they are just an "edge" case, I doubt it. <----See what I did there Lol

I don't think there should be a pirate implant set that affect a weapons system, there should be drone hardwirings though.

It would not be much different in essence than the low-grade Centurion or Talisman sets.

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

Also... hacking implants? Bear
Because spending time hacking in low, to get buffs that will help you hack in null or wspace, while also training towards T2 modules, sortof makes sense for progression.

Do not actively tank my patience.

CA-1 and CA-2 are soooooooooooo great.
I use them 24/24.
Even if their cost is above 45M now...
