As with anything that only exists from drops, it costs whatever people are willing to pay and the supply can handle.

They aren't LP store items (yet) so there's no way anyone can give you an answer.

Any chance for CA's to become +4 as well?

So, as it is now, the low grade pirate implants drop from high sec Vigil unrated complexes, and theire escalations.
Will they be renamed to mid-grade and moved to low sec complexes and replaced in high sec by low-grade?

Or will both mid and low-grade drop in high sec after expansion? I hate the ideea of not finding the new med -grade implants in highsec faction rats anymore after Kronos.

Why drop things in lowsec?

To get people into lowsec, looking for low volume, high value things. More people in lowsec, even if they're just passing through, means more targets for the people that live there. Which is something that's sorely needed.


Talk to them about making the harvesting implants useful. Please, the range bonus is next to useless especially on the new updated hulk. No miner gives crap about mining range as the asteroids are not going anywhere.


No one else is speaking up in favor of the existing Harvest set, so let me be the first. The set is amazing for two very simple reasons: Fleet Mining and Low/Null sec mining.

More range means you don't have to move, making hauling ridiculously simple - with a maxed Rorqual giving boosts, a fleet can currently mine at 39.3km with the T2 strip, or an amazing 44.5km with the ORE Strip. After Kronos' Hulk range bonus, I should hit around 54km with ORE Strips..

The second reason is, and most importantly to those in nullsec, since the Industry Index Ore anomolies can be warped to directly without probing, an interceptor that comes into system can be at zero in a site within seconds. With my range, I have ample time to warp away as I'll never be within 60km of zero.

Should there be a highsec way of getting the ORE LP? Maybe. Are the Harvest implants useless? Only in highsec..

will med grade remain as drops in high sec from faction rats?

I hope that high grade drops will be removed, and med drops limited at the same time.

The mid-grade implants will drop from all the places that low-grade implants dropped before Kronos.

So you're saying you hope that the new low-grades cost as much as existing low-grades, and the costs of the rest go up.

I'm pretty sure that's going to completely defeat the purpose of this particular power creep game addition. Good idea.

Makes no sense that regardless of the quality of the implants, an Omega HW requires cybernetics V.

It would be nice if the Zor implants were able to interact in some way with some of the attribute enhancers...


Round out 'All' of the pirate implants, so to speak...

At least for better combinations...

Most people are probably just plugging them in or giving/trading them to friends. CCP has struck out with this particular addition. No one is going to pay rare-exploration-drop prices when they can simply pick up an entire set of mid/high grades off the market right now.

So, OP success? These are presently just as expensive as their MG counterparts, if not more so.

I think Low Grades should replace all higsec mid and high grade drops.
They are more expensive than mid grades.
Only unaware players buy those.

And after all this time the low grades cost more than the mid grades! lol

Because you put the low grades in low and left the mid grades in high!

I think you know the answer to that.




OT:
Given up looking for ghost sites in my daily scanning. Super cool invisible feature for most of the player base. Still have seen one much less attempted one.

I'm right behind you
