Become a true cyborg for the ability to hotswap implants like a module. This would only affect a clone, you could still jumpclone, but this will mean that people wont have to jump clone everytime they want to change their task.

For instance, in 0.0, I would rather risk a lg snake set rather than a fullblown crystal set (for ratting and exploration) for a sudden pvp op.

This is a rather simple suggestion with big implications. This would open a new avenue for character creation and a whole new aspect to the lore of New Eden.

Discuss!

The drawback is just like any other clone, u die, u lose it.

does there have to be a huge drawback other than a large price?

yes. otherwise nobody would use normal clones in highsec anymore since loosing your pod in high is almost impossible under normal conditions.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

It would be nice..... However it does remove alot of the cause and effect game play of eve.

If you choose to recieve that bonus for what ever implants you have "plugged in" be prepared to both not have the bonus from others implants that you could have and the possibility of losing them.

My next thought was make it illegal in highsec, well that just shoots the whole idea down. Still though, would having it in highsec be that bad? You could swap implants without the need to gain standings. Of course it could be prohibtivly expensive. Say a billion or 2 for this. How much would it be worth to you to be able to swap implants?

Just imagine the pod killmails!
