Hello again everyone! This forum section doesn't have nearly enough stickies in it yet, so let's add some more!
In Kronos we are making some improvements to the existing pirate implant sets, as well as adding a new collection of lower grade pirate implant sets that will be obtained through low-sec exploration.
The first change we are making is to rename the existing low-grade Snake, Slave, Crystal, Talisman, Halo, Nomad, Centurion, Edge, Harvest and Virtue implants to mid-grade. Next we are increasing the attribute bonus from existing pirate implants by 1. This means that all high grade implants will give +4 attribute bonuses, and the renamed mid-grade implants will give +3 attributes.
Finally we are adding a new set of pirate implants to take over the low-grade slot. These implants will give +2 attribute bonuses and their pirate set bonuses will be approximately 63-68% as strong as the mid-grade (formerly low-grade) sets.
For most of the sets, the set bonus provided by the new Low-Grade Alpha through Epsilon implants will be 2.5%, and the Omegas will provide a 10% set bonus. For the new Low-Grade Snakes, the set bonus provided by the Alpha through Epsilon implants will be 5% and the 110% for the Omega.
This means that the complete set bonuses from the new low-grade sets will be: Snake: 10.5% velocity bonus Slave: 20% armor hp bonus Crystal: 20% shield boost bonus Talisman: -17.4% energy emission systems duration bonus Halo: -9% signature radius bonus
Nomad: -17.4% agility bonus Centurion: +20% ewar optimal range bonus Edge: -17.4% reduction to booster side effects Harvest: +20% mining laser range bonus Virtue: +20% probe scan strength
These implants will initially be available exclusively through lowsec exploration. At a later point they will be added to appropriate LP stores. The existing implants (high-grade and renamed mid-grade) will continue to drop in the same places as before and be available in LP stores at the same prices as before.

yay
now please make ultra-highgrade ones that let me have +5s and my pirate sets
any amount of isk as their base price will do (perhaps 10-20b a set), this should be reserved for the isklords of the game |

There are also no gun or missile implants.
What we are actually missing is a set of hull tanking implants. HG set would give -97% cycle time and cap use for hull repairers (this puts them a little better than an armor rep, except you cant stack hull resists) |

These are awesome! Two followup questions: 1. What about the rumoured 5th Genolution implant? 2. Will there be a +4 version of the Ascendancy implants? I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Excellent changes. But ofc it would be awesome if you go even further and add "+1 to all five attributes" to Omega implants (only works with full set). This way more people would use Omega's and also it would be the nice way to distinguish between elite master race and +5 plebs. -¥ |

20% at low grade .. seems a bit high .. i hate too imagine how much you get off High grade....
its a little too pay to win for my liking... Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

also how come we only got the 2 Geno implants for free and the other 2 are insanely priced multiple bill each??

No new Genolution implants in Kronos, but probably someday.
Yes, I've clarified the OP to state that the Ascendancy Implants are getting the same bump up to +4 HG and +3 MG, although they aren't getting a new low-grade set at this time. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

Lowsec is getting quite a few boosts to their item drops in this next update.

These implants will drop as complete items at this time, not blueprints.
And more information will be coming about the sites that these come from in the coming days. I can say it's a new development in the saga of the pirate research efforts that take place at the Ghost sites. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

Have you considered reducing the required skill level in Cybernetics by 1 for each of the new low-grade implants to provide an entry point into implant sets for newer pilots that don't want to sink 20-ish days into Cybernetics V yet?
Mid-grade and High-grade would obviously remain at their current skill requirements.
PS: This would give the Alpha and Beta a Cybernetics I requirement, Gamma and Delta would need Cybernetics II, Epsilon would need III and the Omega would need IV. Teaching Manager - EVE University - http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ |

Nice..
I always thought it was a kick in the nuts for how punished you were for pirate implants.. With this, I might consider using some on toons I am still actively training :)
Nice change :) |

Hmmmm.
Alright.
I wonder, then, how the non-pirate factions will be blended in, then. Some factions have natural dependencies-- like Syndicate with Serpentis --but others might not tie so cleanly. I suppose if this is posed as a, "low-sec bazaar" situation where the various non-state factions are beginning to collude and collaborate more as state faction in-fighting degrades CONCORD's ability to engage in reprisals...

Can you make it easier to get the harvesting implants, its too cost ineffective at the moment. To be honest, mining range is not as great as it sounds. |
