I can sell my new Genolution implants (+3 and some other benefit, ecapes me now); and use the isk to buy +4 implants. I think I will do this. Then I was looking at Hardwires 6-10 slots. Since I am new, I was thinking laser damage and reduced capacitor need for said lasers. 6 - small energy SE-603 7 - controlled burst SE-703 8 - capacitor management EM-802 9 - surgical strike SS-902 10 - weapon upgrades WU-1003 Thoughts or suggestions? My experience and career thoughts.
Depending on your career choice, getting Implants early can be very beneficial to your characters progress. However I wouldn't suggest getting any if you're looking at doing PvP since you'll more than likely get podded quite a lot in the beginning. Usually players get a couple of different low grade Attribute and Hardwiring Implants and stick with them but depending on how active you are in-game, it could quickly become very costly..
In my opinion getting a full set of +3 Attribute Implants asap is a wise decision, even if you're not sure what your career and or location may be..
Now if you plan on staying in high security and concentrate mainly on doing PvE, then I suggest you upgrade your Attribute Implants asap since there's a very low chance of losing them and more importantly, they help train skills much faster.
Usually you can find a good ISK deal for a full set of Attribute Implants in Public Contracts. Beware of scam contracts so make sure you check info on each item in the contract first, verify it's legit before accepting a contract. Also be a good idea to check best Market price on each single implant, add them up and use that as a reference point for contract price.
My first full set was +3 Attribute Implants, after which I started getting the basic low-grade Hardwiring Implants for slots 6 - 10 to help boost and or improve my ship stats and fitting.
As time progressed, I upgraded the Attribute Implants to a full set of +4's and then upgraded the Hardwiring Implants to mid-grade level. After my first year of playing I then worked on getting a full set of +5 Attribute Implants and upgraded all my Hardwiring Implants to high-grade level.
Of course I always made sure I purchased all the necessary items first before I got implants, such as skills, ships, modules, etc.
Since I use a shield tank on my ships and do a lot of exploration, I got Implants that boosted and or helped those areas. Currently I have a full set of Improved Attribute Implants (+5 Attribute) installed with these Hardwiring Implants :
Slot 6 - Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Upgrades SU-605 = 5% reduction in power grid needs of modules requiring the Shield Upgrades skill. Slot 7 - Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Management SM-705 = 5% bonus to shield capacity. Slot 8 - Poteque 'Prospector' Astrometric Rangefinding AR-806 = 6% stronger scanning strength with scan probes. Slot 9 - Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Operation SP-905 = 5% boost to shield recharge rate. Slot 10 - Zainou 'Deadeye' Rapid Launch RL-1005 = 5% bonus to all missile launcher rate of fire.
The only reason I installed the Missile Implant is due to not liking anything else available for that slot. Actually it's been years since I last upgraded my Implants and this thread has now got me thinking about doing that once again.
Anyway, be wise about which Hardwiring Implants you get, they should be viewed as a long term investment, something you're gonna have and use for a very long time.. Later on you can set up and use Jump-clones if you need or want benefits from different Hardwiring Implants.
Just remember if you fly smart, you'll stay safe.
