Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A few ideas I have been mulling over and want to get off my chest, some of them (maybe all) are not original but just worth a bump:

Give implants a fitting window just like the ship fitting one.

You could save implant setups to make replacing them after a podding quicker and easier.


Get rid of skill implants

They just mean that it costs you potential skill points to actually play the game, unless you are willing to fly around in your +5s. This is the main reason I don't play very much other than skill queue online. In my mind it is not worth losing a day of improved skill training to play for an hour or two. Others may disagree but everyone has their own priorities. Maybe just build them into the cybernetics skill, as you upgrade the hardware in your head to plug in better implants your capacity to learn improves as a side effect. And it isn't really a return to learning skills because people already train this first on a new char to plug in cheap skill implants.


Be able to either remove implants or swap clones within a station without a cool down.


Get rid of skill loss when losing a T3 cruiser.

I don't care about the cost of the ship but I won't fly one because skill points are irreplaceable. You may have realised by now that I like skill points more than I like flying. I know I am weird get over it

/cough Move downtime out of the middle of AUtz /cough

And on a final note keep up the good work on the lore. I have never been a rper or paid much attention to story in games but with the Scope videos and such it is hard to avoid being drawn into it which is a good thing.

I have to agree with Mr. Mabata here you do make a great point on the fitting window but I will back Mabata on this one.

OP, you are assuming you'd get +5 tacked on in this. IIRC even learning skill removal didn't give you skill level 5 per skill tacked on when removed. Why...not everyone trained them to +5. Not all trained the full suite either. I 4'd the skills I had, all i needed.


hate to break it to you but if this ever happened you won't see +5 across the board Why. Not everyone runs +5's. I am in the +3 is fine crew, we are legion. Cheap enough to replace easy, especially if you do it the smart way and just run a clone with the 2 implants for the skill training. Why lose 5 +3's....when you need only 2. Well that and for the oddest reason I always seem to clear my pod better with 2 implants only.

Tripped me out really..It was like 5 implants just had murphy say oh yes son...you will be podded. 2 +3's....I have actually had a pod clear after getting shot at. Pods can and do smoking ship effect. I cleared one once and travelled like 8 systems back home like this. Unless changed if this happens station even auto repairs this. Thought that was neat lol.



We'd be the non mouth breathing window lickers who realize you have to play the game to get better. All navigation skills 5 means jack crap when you don't have the hand/eye skills to manually orbit a target worth a damn. This...requires undock and practice.



I predict if this ever happened the most you'd see is +3. Realistically we'd get +2. Why....a large part of the player base runs low grades and have no issues with the +2 for the train speed. CCP doesn' give out massive presents in changes....your aren't getting a full set of +5's or even 4's for free.

Example: I have lots of sp for nag that is unused. My present was no more half assed split weapons and missile launchers removed. I did not get the sp for missiles back though. Welcome to CCP, they give up the goods....but you don't get everything you want lol.

The OP is one long whine/rant post, without any reasons for the changes asked.

So it's a no from me.

but my fc is bad its not my fault huehue
