Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I agree with a lot of posters that risk to your pod is a counterbalance to the reward of better fights and better loot in bubble-country. However, I also like more options.

First of all nowhere in the OP did it mention that the nullifying effect would only be on your pod. That should be clarified first and foremost. If you had such an implant, it would only affect your pod, and no other vessel.

Secondly, put it in the Omega slot. People want to use this to protect their expensive implants, and some of the most expensive implants are the pirate faction skill implants. You should not be able to use this implant to get all of the combat benefits of those benefits without risking them, that is part of how they were balanced. If you had to choose between this and an Omega for the implant set you have, thus reducing cost to benefit ratio of those implants, I think this would be more acceptable.

It should also be just as expensive as any other high quality Omega implant.

With these caveats, I think you could begin to think of a way to balance this implant for Eve. But I still don't want to see it implemented. It changes too much of how we mentally weigh the risk/reward ratio of certain areas of Eve space.
