Atm, I have a set of +4 implants. Over the course of 2 years, I'd save a month (not counting remaps). Are +5's worth the isk? I just can't bring myself to purchase them when the amount of time saved is pretty minimal. Guess I really just need to hear it from other players. XD
So, opinions on the matter?

Its up to you. The time saved is the same as the difference from +3s to +4s.
So why do you have +4s and not +3s? Well of course the answer is because +4s are relatively cheap compared to +5s. To some players, +5s are a drop in the bucket, and they have no hesitation buying them. To people who pvp a lot in 0.0, find themselves in bubbles etc, I'd say +4s are the safe bet.

haha, Hi casthor ;). If you got a long skillplan and the isk to buy them they are really worth it!

Don't get a full set start with 2. If you have a specialized skill-plan that should do.

Went ahead and bought a full set minus Charisma. Figured I'd go ahead and buy all that were relevant before I changed my mind.

I have a full set of +5's just because I can't stand to wait a year to optimize. They work great.

Every time I've bought +5s I've regretted it. Some people keep a +5 clone stashed in a safe station so that they can clone jump to it when they're away from EVE for a while.

Edited by: Othran on 07/08/2011 09:27:33 I've never spent long enough in one jumpclone to make +5s worthwhile. As the OP discovered you have to keep them in for 2 years to recoup the extra cost over +4s
ie one month time saved over 2 years = about 375mill for a PLEX, which isn't far off the cost difference.

the trick is to buy only two.
Get perc/will +5s in one clone and int/mem in another (if you are remapped for balance)
... if you are optimized and only train x/y get a couple of those clones depending on your jump clone use. .

I'm not sure I see why this would be any better than having them all in one clone. Enlighten?

Err, not losing them ALL when you die? Is it not obvious? --- Drykor - AHARM |

Well yeah, that is. Just wasn't sure if that was the only reason.
