Mostly the old boring reason, Force projection. Faction items can easily be shuttled or slow frigged or slow hauled everywhere too easily. So many strong items used anywhere, or if placed in a jump freighter carried systems away pretty fast.
Also would add new lvls to defense, one would farm lvl 4 missions for LP in systems that needed higher security against defenders, so they would have faction items to slip into, and make it harder for the attackers.
Also with civilian modules, the name, civilian, seem they should have an easier time moving to different locations, much like a civilian would be able to. Faction items are too strong militarily and should be restricted to base at all times. Or if they go on leave duty, as in no combat with them, just can fit them to show off your fit to others. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

You realize that the faction items which would make it harder on attackers (i.e. hardeners) don't actually have any benefits over T2 counterparts, with the exception of faction invulns and EANMs, save for fitting requirements, right? please leave |

That'd be the inevitable conclusion, yes. The article is not a proposal for their removal, but an argument against their continued existence in the game. So any gain for those people who do not die often or do not choose to PvP would be lost. That's not a gain, that's the lack of a loss. And even the best elite PvP-ers will sometimes lose their implants, resulting in a loss. And in the end of the day, the ones who relatively "gains" are those who choose to take no risk, to not PvP, to not leave low/highsec.
Really, who would be hurt by the replacement of learning implants with regular hardwiring (or simply, implants sets)?
Certainly not the newbies. They wouldnt waste training time to get cybernetic right away, and wouldnt spend a large part of their early isks into expensive implants. They wouldnt get into a risk-averse mindset due to the risk of losing these implants, which is probably the biggest barrier there currently is. That would also "let" them use their isks into more meaningful ways.
Of course nobody forces them into using +3/+4 implants as soon as possible, but the incentive to do so is incredibly strong for a new player who wants to get into the game, and have to wait for it because of x skill required to complete his fitting.
It would make nullsec much more ~vibrant~, as people would be more willing to engage in suddent PvP, instead of just waiting for a fleet to form and to get on their "expendable" jump clone.
Hell, it would fucks up a bit with DEM EVIL HIGHSEC GRIEFERS, by removing the possibility to fit a sebo thrasher (or any smartbombing ship) to pop expensive naked pods. That would be just naked pods, which wouldnt be a big loss for most of the players. |

And a perfect ending for why faction items should stay in the system they are bought in. With just a blessing from Andski we can submit this to themittani.com (already being peered review here on the forums) and hopefully gets published in a day or so.

Personally, I think Implants should be removed, Cybernetics should give you the permanent + to attributes, and that's that.
It would probably impact the market a fair deal, etc, but in all aspects of the game, it improves life for basically every player.
As far as what to do with the Implants left over, there should be an option to turn them in for LP. Maybe Concord would be best. Kind of like a Space Version of 'Guns for Toys' except it's 'Implants for going towards expensive crap'.

Yeah, CCP would have to do something to address the massive number of learning implants in people's hangars. I suppose that they could be "cashed in" at a given LP store for LP and an "ISK credit" (i.e. redeemable only through that LP store) to get other crap. vOv please leave |

The best quote from this article was, "Empire players tend to have a huge advantage in this regard - they can do virtually everything with a full +5s and hardwirings since pods can warp out almost instantly in the event that they lose a ship, and NPCs never shoot pods in any case. Players in nullsec generally find themselves with implants that speed up the skills they may be training at that time and inexpensive hardwirings, simply because losing a pod is nearly inevitable after losing a ship when bubbled."
So in reality the whole thread was another "Make Null even safer" thread.
Being that you can still get ganked in Hi-sec and podded, hi sec dwellers still have the ability to have their implants destroyed. The null sec residence how ever has chosen a more PvP based life style with the risks attached.
Removing implants would just be a step in dumbing down EvE and making the Nullbears less risk exposed. They go on and on about how easy Hi-sec is while fighting to have Null made even safer.
So all in all don't bother reading it, its just more covert Null tears. Will the terribad null players ever stop crying? Wah wah there's a cloaked neutral in my system, change game mechanics. Wah wah I want my pod to be as safe as hisec player pods. Wah wah whatever. Man up, nullbears. Please don't put all null sec players in the same box than EveNews whatever dudes. They're a shame for null sec players.
My apologies if it seemed as though I was. In my mind there are two very distinct types of null sec player. The crybaby sheep-in-wolfs clothing type who are little more than hisec bears, and the *real* null sec players. It's no secret which type write those types of articles, or whine threads, or whatever.

Pretty funny how you can make a 6 page thread about and article and not a single post actually discussed the article.
Anyway, making this thread about your so called 'nullbears' instead of what the article is really about is pretty stupid, even for you, but I guess preventing newbies from doing PvP in a PvP-centric game is good game design, especially if the big bad goons are against it. |

Learning implants are like ships. Everyone has to use them but there are reasonable choices as to which ones to use. Like ships, people can easily switch between them as their needs change.
Just as different ships come with different price tags (and levels of effectiveness) so do implants (learning or otherwise). If you are doing high-risk pvp, you can choose to use a cheap throw-away Rifter and leave your 2.5 BN Tengu at home. Likewise, if you are going to cruise hostile null space, you might hop into a clone with +3s in just a couple skills since the chance of you getting bubbled and podded is high.
The fact that you can get +3 implants with Cybernetics I means that the choice of implants for an early player is largely a factor of ISK, rather than training time. This is what separates Cybernetics and the implants from the learning skills of yore.
In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse. |
