I think Medical clones should just have a lower price range and stay connected to the Medical Bay.
However, Ranger 1's proposal to have price based on clone upgrade slots merits some more consideration. Just a few observations and questions though.
Clones have 2 different upgrade slots available, Attribute slots (1-5) and Hardwiring slots (6-10).
Genolution Core Augmentation CA-1 and CA-2 is complete implant set (slot 1 and slot 4).
Pirate 'Named' and regular attribute implant sets cover slots 1-5.
Pirate 'Named' Attribute implant sets also have 1 Hardwiring implant available to complete the set (slot 6).
If you go by available Implant and Hardwiring slots (10) and option for no slots that would basically make 11 different types of Medical Clones available.
What about the Cerebral Accelerator implant that's available for new accounts up to 35 days old (slot 4), not sure if that's an Implant slot or Booster slot? I think it's a Booster slot. Speaking of Booster slots, surely that would require adding in more types of Medical Clones.
Just exactly how many classes or types of Medical Clones will be available to choose from? Also what would be the price per clone type? Now it's looking to be no different than the current in-game mechanic. Since Booster slots are used for Consumables, I think those slots should be included free with creation of all Medical Clones.
Anyway, maybe just have 3 different types of Medical Clones available? Such as:
'Basic' Medical Clone = no Implant slots
'Standard' Medical Clone = Attribute implant slots 1-5
'Upgraded' Medical Clone = Attribute implant slots 1-5 and Hardwiring slots 6-10
Now if the Cerebral Accelerator is indeed an Implant and not a Booster, then the 'Basic' Medical Clone should at least have 1 implant slot available. Also taking into consideration that CCP was giving players the Genolution CA-1 and CA-2 implant set which is basically great for new accounts, wouldn't that make the 'Basic' Medical Clone have at least 2 Attribute slots available?
After all that, I'll just stay with my original opening statement - I think Medical clones should just have a lower price range and stay connected to the Medical Bay.
