EVE Information Portal

how often can you crap. is there a way to make you crap faster? perhaps it's possible for you to crap several times at once? even if it's just you, if you can automate that and do it 23/7 it will add up. I'm thinking maybe we can work something out to both our benefit. lemme know.

This. But also, dont stop with sov changes and POS changes, pleeeaaasssee with the POS changes!

My Idea for player made clones.

So now that there is no longer a payment for loosing a clone based on Skill points there is a loss of isk sink.

So i would propose that clones are made by players using PI materials. CLone vat bays would be upgraded to be usefull and there would be the reintroduction of the mothership which acts as a mobile base for wh space.

now why should ther be variation in clones?

well its simple its called faction implants and hardware and jump clone time.

My idea is you add special clone bpc for faction loot that allows you to manufacture pirate faction clones that allow you to install pirate faction inplants.

without one of these clones you cant install lets say snake or slave implants. I would then add some sort of isk sink in the manufacturing prosses for clones that replace the current metric of clone upgrades.

also there could be a clone that allows you to jump clone ever 12 hours but cant have harware upgrades and only up to plus two implants for attribute points.

i would totally like to get a shadow serpentis clone or a true sansha clone or angel.

Only 0.0001% of people lost XP in EVE. Those that did only because they slipped up, everyone else has the boring task of automating the clone grade in muscle memory. If its something everyone does by default, why bother? Nobody ever lacked the isk. Implant loss doesn't mean much either.




They already did, you can "suicide" inside stations instantly.

I think you did not understand what I was saying at all. In null most pods have no implants. So in war it was a good idea to pod them to cause your enemy more loss and slow them down. Now, since you can self destruct in space *and* in station, and you have no loss from that, it is actually preferable when you lose your ship to also be podded, since it gets you home faster. If you don't get podded you can just self destruct in space, aka getting you home faster.

The idea about not allowing self destruct of pods in space (and only allowing it in station) gives the choice to either pod the person (giving you a small chance of killing some implants but not likely) or making them fly their pod home, knowing they must fly home because they cant self destruct. Otherwise, the choice to pod or not pod is meaningless since they will just self destruct in space anyway.

I see it this way, instead of attribute enhancers, the first 5 slots should be exclusively for implants that promote a style of play (Like snakes, slaves, etc. for tacklers, armor brawlers and solo shield pvpers respectively)

The other 5 should be for boosting of random skill attributes as they are now. However, there should be an 11th slot just for pirate omegas. It's fairly annoying that certain slot 6 implants cant be combined with a full set of pirate implants. (For example, you can get the 8% armor implant in your head at the same time as a full set of slaves, but not shaqil's speed enhancer (8% velocity) at the same time as snake implants. I find that a little bit of an annoyance.)

They changed it in Phoebe so that you can no longer set your clone station remotely to any station. You can set it to your corporation's HQ once a year, or to the station you're currently in at any time.

Podjumping is, essentially, neutered.

Can't do, because of wormholes.

I get the feeling that CCP wants to remove everything from the game. First they start gutting modules, then they gutted the jump drive, and now clones...

BTW: thanks for turning all my meta 4 small missile launchers into "compact launchers". Now they're not worth anything. Good to know I'm not getting reimbursed for those either...

So what's next? Insurance? We all know nobody uses that either.

I look forward to seeing how the clone changes transpire but would be against being able to harvest implants. Having created implants from BPCs I can say that they use a fair chunk of PI materials in their production. Also many implants are dropped as loot from missions/deadspace etc rats. Allowing implants to be recovered would hit both of these areas, the loot values especially.

It would also make nil sense in lore terms. The implant is stuck into your brain. To be able to function it would have to use some kind of custom interface/nanotech that 'grows' into your brain and is absolutely unique to you. On top of that your brain is flash-fried by a very powerful laser when you get podded which would cause immeasurable damage to delicate nanostructures.

*If* this were to become a thing it would be better to allow players to use Reverse Engineering on corpses to basically disect the skull and implants to drop out a BPC for the implant (probably a lower grade one than the original due to damage). Also change loot drops to be BPC's mainly with actual implants being rare or not at all (Other than maybe from high level rats). This would then create a market in BPC sales and also add impetus to the PI market and also increase options for science characters.
