not supported i think +10 implants should not be a permanent thing

so really you could have a permanent +15 boost?

All implants, attributes and training boosts should be removed.
Flat SP rate for everyone, no more complaints.

My HG's lose the +4, what do I get? That won't be a balance issue as fairest route is to boost their effects even more. Or are they keeping the +4's to avoid this issue. Got 2 evils here....and no cut and dry picking the lesser of them really.

Because it becomes grind for your Xp.
It's just a sneaky way to bring levels into EVE. Since if people have to grind for skills, then they are in space where you can shoot them, so xp grinding and levels should be introduced to EVE and the passive skill queue should be removed right?

One of the big unique draws of EVE is the passive SP gain, and the fact that everyone gains at (roughly) the same pace. Your progress is dictated by where you want to put that Sp.

If these Boosters become regular, then it becomes a grinding game instead.

What's wrong with an "as well as" solution rather than an "instead of"?

they got rid of clone cost. Just use whatever + stat implant you can afford without going over what a new clone would cost you.

Why would they remove Implants and replace it with boosters. If they are going to remove attributes then I can't see them adding items that would boost attributes / training time as it defeats the purpose. As it stands implants offer a couple of benefits over enhancers.

1. Implants are not time limited and so do not induce as much of a grind (if you buy +4s and you go on holiday then the +4s are still there when you get back)

2. Implants are destructible and so fit in the with philosophy of eve and add interesting choices and consequences.

I do think implants should be rebalanced though so that they cost less, and also pirate implants should confer higher attribute bonuses.


The opposite, that is what makes them interesting and gives you a meaningful decision. If you are playing Eve and complaining about having to make choices which result in consequences, ie losing implants, then you probably are playing the wrong game.

Except it's not the 'base rate'.
Right now the base rate is with a booster. Because the sites are common.

where are these sites anyway?

lol as I suspected - Using a booster on a skill that takes 4 days will cut it down to 2 days while the booster is active. Once it's effect is gone, the training time returns to 3 days - So in effect, completely useless on anything that takes longer than 24 hours to train.
