Gee, if only we had some kind of implant system which could add more value to clones so you don't want to lose them instead of some arbitrary amount of subscription time penalty. |

Death has consequences. Welcome to EvE Online.
Yeah, your hull, your modules, your implants, your Sov, your WH, your POS, your Site, your empire, your "friends". Your CCP dictated clone sink for time played... wait... that doesn't seem to fit. |

I guess if the implants count as a loss there's some risk, but how long before the cry's come for that to change?
While Eve is a game and its spaceships and pixels I enjoy it because of the risk. Gets my blood pumping hope that doesn't change anytime soon.
It takes them out of the fight completely if they don't have a clone vat nearby.
Implants are plenty of a loss and always have been. As they are above and beyond basic ship operation requirements and used purely for an advantage. An offset to SP clones can be Slot Clones. Offer X amount of slots for hardwires or implants or boosters per clone grade where a free clone offers no possibility for even a drug boost. These slot clones price should also be added to bounty payouts.
There is more than enough risk or replacement opportunities left over abolishing archaic steps which are only around to offer an illusion of complexity when its only job is making up for other bad systems like insurance faucets.
At-least Insurance is dictated by what you choose to fly, not how long you decided to keep playing the game. |

Yes, it has more tedium for not gaining anything real. The true EvE experience is about mundane upkeep and bills. Human factor, Ha ha! human. |
