[They certainly wouldn't be able to use the current system, the easiest method would be to keep the current supply chains used for implant creation, but modify the ISK and LP cost to create a similar or slightly large ISK sink over time as currently exists.

That way they could keep the current booster production system for performance boosters (although tbh that could do with tweaking anyway), and adopt LP/incursions etc. as the method for acquiring attribute boosters.

Not that I'm claiming that would be the best way, but it would be the easiest and most predictable method of swapping from implants to boosters.

Alot people say, it's risk vs. reward to pvp with +5s, but actually it isn't.
You have _NO_ risk and get _ALL_ the reward, if you sit in station with +5.

I don't know. Its certainly an interesting idea, but linking skill training to LP will make missioners the kings of EVE... there's already not enough incentive to get people to war as it is. Boost the power of LP and it seems counterproductive to what the devs are trying to create in motivating more PvP rewards (not PvE).

... I think it would be interesting if Attribute boosters (lets just call them SP Drugs) were supplied from null sec areas only (be it missions from Moons or Pirate Corps or even better from Null Sec PI under the control of Dust fighters. With each attribute drug from a different section of the map. That would motivate more resource motivated conflicts in Null Sec and would create a Null Sec to High Sec supply chain to the economy.

... how it would all work out in the end should be studied long and hard however to see if it would really work, but I think your on to something... needs some full time game-thinkers to think it the whole way through.

yk.

Realistically these days a "null sec to high sec supply chain" would merely entail players using a cyno alt to jump stuff one jump out from high sec. Then running everything to Jita with a neutral alt, as such I don't really see it as being important where things are produced as long as the financial rewards for producing them doesn't completely screw risk/reward.

Was referring to an economic supply chain more than a physical supply chain. Not really any importance to how its transported, but that it a null sec resource with high demand in high sec. Personally I think that tieing high sec equipment to null sec resources is one of the more elegant parts of the game economy IMHO.

Wonder if the devs are reading any of these ideas?

It is linked to empire, have you ever undocked in Eve? Why are you even discussing this? Are we playing the same game?

Oh Christ I just looked up your combat record, nvm. I lol'd.


Some things effect new players more than old players, deal with it.

If that's not your main then why post under an alt? Second, combat stats have nothing to do with the topic. And third if that is your main, while the corp might be efficient, you are in no way affiliated with its decent efficiency.

4 medium neuts on a drake meant to neut is much fun. Unfortunately that day we couldnt find a fight so we sat at a gate until someone attacked us. And eventually someone did, a fleet of 12-20. So dont talk shet like you're impressing anyone. It was three of us there bored looking to gank. We gave up and decided we werent taking the ships back intact.

That 4 neut drake can kill a rattlesnake pve fit shield tank by itself very quickly. So can your memesque must use a cookie cutter shitfit rhetoric.

Most recon ships have 4 launchers. The drake has 4 launchers and 4 neuts which is a perfectly workable setup. And when you can kill the offense and defense of any ship put in front of you by leaving them with a dead cap your dps is somewhat irrelevant.

Post on your combat main so we know you aren't just claiming to be someone else. Because for the life of me I cant possibly understand why you would post under that shet character if you had better.

Cool story bro, I especially like the part where you forgot to put any tank on your drake.

Anyway, my combat alt is linked in my bio. Another of my combat alts is linked in my combat alts bio. And I am linked in my combat alts alts bio... Seriously, its a little circle of name linking and we're all in the same corp. You seriously going to make me relog just to prove a point?
.
Low bro, low.

hy do I need tank on a drake if i'm not going to be tanking? I told you we were ganking. Meaning we wanted a single target to hit and all i had to do was neut him.

Second of all my shield ewar and capacitor skills are elite certed. So what you percieve as no tank is plenty to me. Only baddies who find themselves in situations they werent expecting require the 77k ehp (in game) drake. My drake under no circumstances has over 55k ehp. I dont need it, id rather have two webs or a painter or any number of things more than more shield.

And if you did actually check the killmail look at the number of people that killed the drake and tell me what you think two shield extenders were going to do?

Besides my poverty stricken friend I use tengus, drakes are for the poor.

Two fun kills and im using the tengu. More videos to come. More I can give.

Look dude, I really can't be bothered to watch some terrible videos of a high sec "pvp" toon flying a T3, not quite sure why you're calling me poverty stricken either? Maybe you looked up the wrong toon lol, but either way get back on topic or STFU and GTFO of this thread.

My intuition tells me you joined a pvp corp with a decent record and looked for the first opportunity to throw the KB argument out there hoping someone would affiliate you with that corp and give you props. By all means prove me wrong but I think you're an actor.

And I won't be gtfo or stfu ever.

Because you are in a thread crying over not being able to afford to train as fast as hisecers when you die with +5s. From the looks of it you can't be bothered with anything but talking **** about what your other toons do. Still waiting on some confimation of your pvp toon. It wont change the fact training and implants are fine but ill have a inch more respect for you after you pulled the kb argument out.

It doesn't act as a barrier for new players it acts as a barrier to poor players. Veteran and new. New players may feel they need more skill points but the game doesn't care two ***** eitherway. The plus 5s cost X they offer Y what you do in game and whether what you do enables you the finances to pvp and lose the 5s is irrelevant.

d) Use implants you can afford to lose

It is hard to think of a way that saving implants after pod kill would work. Implants are electronic devices and thus can not be cloned.

If CCP chose to they could introduce organic versions of implants, that would cost a lot more and require a different, more advanced skill. These being organic and genetically connected to you, would then be part of the cloning process.
