For example. I would have a full set of implants. I get podded and someone scoops my corpse up. They could refine my corpse and get fragments from the implants.
After you get all the right parts together you could build a normal implant using a BPO.
This idea has been brought up a few times in the past. I am just trying to get it flowing once again.

The fragments idea isn't one I've heard before, but it sounds interesting.

A little ghoulish, and it might destroy the entire market for implants seeing as how corpses have been produced en-masse for the past three years.
Maybe a "new corpse type" could be added, in which case this might be a good idea.
I like it, in theory.

Well the pilot would HAVE to have implants to recive fragments. Previous ones would not have fragments.

We should be able to recycle corpses into protein delicacies.

Implants... no. Neural cyberimplants bond tightly with the brain of the user. Once inserted, they may be removed, but they will be unable to adapt to the specific brain waves and patterns of another user, and their organic components die within mere seconds after removal, making it impossible to reuse a corpse's implant. (So much for the in-story mumbojumbo. Personally, I just don't like the idea of seeing pirates as implant hunters. Water on the mills, and such.)
However, it might (and should) be possible to use some unique materials found in the human body in some other ways. Hormones, transmitter chemicals, encyms and other organic matter could prove useful in the production of booster drugs or researching improvements of the same. Heck, let's get ugly: certain cells found in a male body's primary reproductive organs or a female body's bowels could be used to artifically create stem cells that can be used to create unique and very (I mean VEEEERY) expensive drugs to partially remedy the effects of dying without having bought a proper clone...

While this seems like an interesting idea, I think it would get a bit too complicated, and would indeed inspire a whole new generation of pirating.

How about 'Frame Corpse'

Both ideas - implants & drugs make sense. The drugs being the performance enhancing ones (short term implants) talked about in some Devblog or other.
Possible backstory. Empire somewhere develops cheaper clones (needed because everyone now goes for the pod - and they're too expensive at higher sp). Pirate faction then manages to use this data to develop the facilities to extract the bits from the corpses. Facilities only available in pirate stations, and modules/units can be bought there for outposts. |

"Interesting" idea indeed, would give a very handy excuse and motivation for those who gank'n'pod people just because they enjoy doing so. "Ideas" like this one only encourage more rampant podding and similar Counter-Strike In Space- type actions by rewarding people who pod kill as much as they can.

only problem with this is that you would need a record of what implants that corpse had...
so more db entrys
on teh topic of refining the corpse for stuff....
lets all self destruct our nub alts over and over againa nd collect their corpses. won tcost us anything and we get one corpse per 2-3 minutes.....

This is a lovely idea that d add to the flavor of the game big time.
Introducing the tables (or properties) needed for this operation would also allow us to research corpses to see what implants the late owner had plugged in...
Hopefully this will be added one day and not simply discarded on the altar of optimizations as the reduction of items you can have in your hangar going down to 1000 now.

The possibilities for farming are endless in this idea
Imagine, i guy goes down to jita, yells on local chat
"attention all n00bs, ill pay 1000 isk if you self destruct your pod"
he then scoops up the bio mass
or worse yet
a guy logs in with 12 accounts
starts self destructing all their pods
repeat,repeat,repeat
if this isnt going to be exploited, the corpses should require implants to be useful

Well unless those noobs have implants, it wont do any good. Only the corpses from pilots that HAD implants would leave anything.

You're so right. For every pilot that died in their pod, you'd have two entries until the corpse was refined, one for the new pilot without implants and another for the old one. If the corpse never gets taken for refining, that entry remains creating a very large database. Noobs who venture unknowingly into 0.0 get podded by gate gankers every few minutes, nobody is going to bother with their corpses cos they won't have implants. That is going to be one huge and relatively unused database.
I know they are putting in new servers but please, we don't want to overload them before they even start their service.

People tend to pod for various reasons. If they're going to do it anyway make the corpse have some use. Tag the DB entry as "corpsename ##" where ## is a number hidden from player and is related to the number of sp's a character had. Avoids the podding alt problem - hadn't thought of that! Might also solve DB load? Refine enough corpses you get the enhancer drug.
Maybe then relate the sp number to a chance of implant bits. Make it % based that you recover some components that need a BP to make a new implant.
Slightly OT, but clones cost ALOT to long term casual players. Also removes the "don't fly what you can't afford to replace" theory when clones cost more than equiped cruisers. With the new bits recovery clones must also become alot cheaper. More isk circulates and we now have drug runners as a profession for the less law abiding types. |
