So I noticed after patch the CA-2 only applies a 40% implant set bonus as opposed to the pre patch 50%

Any official word on as to why this wasn't in the patch notes or am I just blind?

Also CA-3 and CA-4 looks interesting and I assume this was done to not make the entire set overly powerful, but why was these things not announced at all?

Yes, it got reduced a bit not to make the whole set too powerful, I'll talk around to make sure this is added in the patch notes.

I was unaware there was a plethora of 'nerf CA implant' threads.

so yes there are 4 now in game but the 2 new ones haven't been seeded in game and they are 40% now

although combined they will add 140% bonus to secondary effects so i can see why but atm its annoying as you lose 10% until the new ones are available probably as a Christmas gift like last year

Absolutely. I personally have no problem with the adjustment. It's just silly to make an adjustment to them right now when they apparently have no plans to release the new implants until much later in the year.

indeed although i fail to see why taking 10% off stops them being OP 10% of 1.5% isn't much

Thats is a shame. I have a good handful of fits that won't work now... not the end of the world though as I did just plug in hac and med rail spec

what i don't understand is this:
why not keeping imps 1 and 2 as is and nerf the bonus on 3 and 4 instead?

Multiplicative, not additive. There we 4 of the implants now, providing a 50%, 40%, 30%, and 20% bonus to secondary effects in total. That means you'll have a total of a 227.6% increase to the effects with all 4 slotted.

For example, the CA-1 implant provides 1.5% to PG and capacitor. With just the CA-1 and CA-2 installed, you would have had a 3.375% bonus to PG, CPU, Cap capacitor, and Cap recharge before 1.1, now you'll have a 3.15% bonus to each. With all four installed, however, you'll have a total bonus of 4.914% to CPU, PG, Cap Capacity, Cap Recharge, Shield HP, Armor HP, Ship Agility, and Ship Velocity.

Common sense ... please !

Ya'll shouldn't be relying on implants to fit a ship.

You should 'talk around' and get the change reverted until you're willing to make the rest of the set available in-game.

the CA-3 and CA-4 are release for those that pre-purchased the 10th anni collectors edition, not sure when they are able to be redeemed.

This thread is pretty funny when you go back and read it, knowing that the implants are on the market

This post is pretty funny, knowing that none were on the market when the thread was started.

But then, Johnny-Come-Lately is usually behind the curve.

3 on market, none on makret, whats the difference.
g3 and g4 will remain to expensive to be used for a long time.

but yeah, i could imagine the olympic shitstorm it would cause if they would nerf them only after making them aviable to a borader list of players.
