A long while ago I propsed the following:
Why not just argue to Introduce Slot 11 - Slot 15 Implants. Lets face it, those who can afford it, have already maxed the 1-10 Slots with the best possible crap. Now, lets take for example someone who wants Top Speed + Missiles:
Slot 1-6: Snake Implants Set (High Grade)
Slot 7: Rogue CY-2 or Shaquil's Implant (+5/+8 Overall Speed)
Slot 8: Zor's Custom Nav. Hyperlink (+10 to AB/MWD Speed)
Slot 9: Rogue GY-2 (5% MWD Cap reduction)
Slot 10: Rogue MY-2 (5% Bonus to AB/MWD Speed)
Above is your "Speedy Gonzales" Setup. Everything is awesome and great, however, what if the guy wants to be a missile King, or add more shields or armour.
I would argue for the introduction of "High Grade" Hardwiring Implants that would go into slots 11 through 15. Each Implant combination will be IDENTICALL, (this is very important), to the standard sets. Thus you can have a Hardwiring High Grade +3/or +5, however it would only go into appropriate slots of 11-15.
Example:
Slot 11: Hardwiring - Zainou 'gnome' KTA3000/or KTZ3000
(3% or 5% Launcher CPU Bonus)
Slot 12: Hardwiring - Zainou 'deadeye' ZMC3000/or ZML 3000
(3% or 5% Missile Flight Range Bonus)
Slot 13: Hardwiring - Zainou 'deadeye' ZMA3000/or ZMZ3000
(3% or 5% Decreased factor of signature radius for all missile explosions)
Slot 14: Hardwiring - Zainou 'deadeye' ZMS3000/or ZMQ3000
(3% or 5% Decrease in factor of target's velocity for all missiles.)
Slot 15: Hardwiring - Zainou 'deadeye' ZMM3000/or ZMP3000
(3% or 5% Bonus to all missile launcher rate of fire.)
Also, you can RESTRICT (another important point) them, where lets say Rogue CY3/GY3/MY3, etc. would be restricted from installing if you already have CY2/GY2/MY2 family implant installed. That way no one will be able to go ABOVE CURRENT MAX in any single skill allocation. In other words, if you have already maxed out your primary desired specialisation, in this case Speed, you canÆt add any High Grade Hardwirings that would improve further that particular aspect of your specialisation.
Now, instead of going typical way EVE developers have gone previously, and making Slot 11 û Slot 15 Implants UBER RARE, ôOMFGBBQ I cant get them anywhere for less than a Billion,ö thus restricting people with average incomes using the implants, it would be wise to make them as available as their ôstandard gradeö counterparts. Since there is no way the Standard Grade and High Grade Hardwirings of the same family can be used at the same time.
This will allow:
For people to utilise two skill sets. Such as incorporation Salve, Snake, Halo, Crystal, Talisman set with other various beneficial sets.
If the High Grade Hardwirings are to be made accessible to the public, like current Standard Hardwiring Sets, it will actually prevent people with bazillion ISK from being the only beneficiaries of the system.
Also, since they the family of Standard and High Grade Hardwirings will be restricted from being installed at the same time, as I mentioned before, it will be impossible to MAX Out the Speed to unreasonable proportions, or MAX Out Armour or Shields, or make your BS Signature the size of a frigate, etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, just some of my thoughts on the matter.
