Missions & Complexes

add in RL-1005 and that is my implants for most of my mission ships. I've done a few tests on a naked clone vs my implants and the biggest difference is application. You get a bump in damage and Rof ( which is more damage faster) but I mostly notice it in the application.

I need to to apply them one by one to see where you are getting the most benefit but have not taken the time to figure it out.

I do PvE in a Tengu and a Rattlesnake and using 5% implants do a significant difference. Might not be right then and there but it takes seconds off of killing NPC's, and eventually you'll start to snowball down to hours saved doing missions by having 5% implants.

Thanks everyone, I think ill go the the 5% and add in the RL-1005 too.

its going to depend on what ships you fly.

If you don't scan then the scanning Imp is pointless. Same goes for the Shield management one, if you don't buffer or passive tank its not that useful.

if I was going to replace any implant it would be the velocity one. Cruiser missiles already shoot out really far and if you are counting properly it makes it less important.

Slot 7 , EM-705 being the most flexible.

Yeah, you're right, it does depend on the type of ships you fly.
My implants were posted just as an example. Since I do a lot of exploration and fly shield tanks, my implants do just like I said, allow me to jump into various ships and still get a boost from them.

Yeah, I had the same idea and actually planned to do that when I first started using Jumpclones. However with various restrictions on jumping between clones I found it was better for me to set up 1 clone with a mixed set of implants allowing me to engage various activities without having to clone jump.

I do a lot of exploration in high sec so bookmarking a lot of sigs first and then clone jumping to pew pew wouldn't work due to mass amount of competition in exploration.

Fly with or without implants the choice is yours but here are my thoughts on the subject.

If you are into missions for ISK / LP then you need to blitz them and as such cruise missile implants will not be that useful since the best of the blitz ships are turret based, Machariel and Vargur we are looking at you. Some use the Tengu but then cruise missile implants would be worthless anyway.

If you want ISK / LP then you may be better served by finding an incursion community to join and run with. In this case the implants you will need would be based on the ships used in the fleets.

If you are running them for fun or for experimentation then why tie yourself to single weapons system with implants. No implants allows you to fly whatever ship you want, whenever you want and with equal efficiency or inefficiency depending on point of view. No implants also allows you to change ships or fits on a whim just to see what happens.

And in the end if you are running for fun and experimentation what does it matter if a mission takes a few minutes longer to complete because you do not have implants.
