I think all pirates would appreciate some form of change for the better of our ISK flow by acquiring loot from wrecks from unfortunate pilots.
The changes I am proposing are an Autopsy lab service introduced into stations, and a set of skills set upon the idea of being able to autopsy a corpse. The reason for the autopsy would be that we can extract implants from the corpse, and have some skills to maybe repair, or preserve the implants.
The rest is common sense. Sell them, use them, and so on.
Thanks o7
Additions: 1. EVE Chronicle made to explain how the body of a pilot is not completely exposed to outer space damage to support the idea of Autospy.
2. Not complete implants can be extracted, but segments / parts could be extracted. Combining these with other parts to make complete implants. This is an idea to insert balance against getting full implants from missions.
3. New industry career path. Just like you can use a POS as part of booster manufacturing you could put autopsy labs as a feature only available in POS, thus making it far more difficult, expensive, challenging, and profitable business to make ISK.

hi cat here
while i cant agree with allowing pirates to do any rejoicing it could be an interesting idea lol
a while back ccp posted about being able to manufacture implants yourself. maybe it could be from 'salvaged' parts of corpse hehe visit my blog for my adventures

Need to replace it with a different isk sink if you want to do something like this.
Besides that it could easily be argued that an implant is rendered useless by being tailored first to the person it's being implanted in and afterwards being subjected to the harsh environment of space. ==================================================
I should really get a sig. |

While I think there would need to be a balance to this due to isk reasons, this idea is win.

I agree that this should be done, but in response the LP costs and storyline rewards should be lowered in order to keep the price of implants suitably high, as this change will drastically increase the supply of implants in eve.

some means to create/salvage implants was mentioned in the original feature list for quantum rise... but it was removed i am curious as to what the devs had in mind
~~~~~ Remember, EVE is a sandbox and other MMOs are rock gardens. Pretty rocks can be collected, but collecting sand is pointless. Instead build a sandcastle and keep it from being knocked down. |

Hmm I guess to ask if implants could be salvaged you'd have to see if they were mechanical biological/nano machines (in the form of proteins etc) or a mixture of both. Due to the negative pressure and temp of space biological wouldnt survive....for lots of reasons. However I dont see why mechanical devices couldnt survive.
Kind of a macabre skill though dont you think? Would people then be allowed to sell body parts and organs/tissues?
Though ill give you credit seems pretty original.

Hi, Asuka here. I just wanted to let you know that having a posting gimmick is a sure way to get elected CSM in the next cycle and that you are the one who will look foolish when Larkonis and Cat take the positions by a landslide.

Perhaps they should lower the cost of implants across the board so more players actually use them in PvP. With more people fitting them it should balance out the "ISK sink" aspect of the implant market, and maybe it'll even take more ISK out of the game as more people abandon the "don't PvP with good implants" mentality.
As to the OP's idea... sound fun and all, but no. Not without a sufficient counter to the ISK sink. Some implants are ridiculous in cost directly from NPCs.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started. |

As much as I too would like to see this, CCP never will favour pirates. They believe that piracy should be a harsh profession. Something that is available, and has some good sides to it, but still not for everyone. This feature would promote podding (in eg. low-sec) and would have a negative effect on the implant market (cheaper implants could mean a too great market impact).
Personally I think this is a great idea. I also think there should be a micro-manufacturing skill set that allows for implants to be created from blueprints. And maybe a new set of special implants from wormhole space that are T3-ship specific.

This idea has some interesting merits with some additional options:
1) Skills that let you choose how you're going to harvest implants. By training them you get to choose between either a good chance of harvesting some implants, or a better chance of harvesting a particular one.
2) There needs to be a decision between harvesting useable implants or implant parts, a la salvaging. On the one hand, you could just try to harvest something that's useful, with no chance of getting anything from a +1, or anything from +0 to +3 or 4 from a +5. Perhaps hardwirings would give parts that could be used to create new hardwiring implants. This way everybody gets something from it, potentially.
I can see vast potential from either option.

The only flaw I can think of to this story wise is this. When exposed to the vac****of space, explosive decompression, and weapons designed to destroy ships hitting a human corpse inside a egg, what chance does the delicate electronics that make up a implant have of survivng? Besides, wouldn't they just get sucked out of your eyeball sockets and get lost in space? Also the cloning technology fries your brain upon hull breach in your pod........wouldn't that jack up the implants? CCP would have some serious back story hole filling to get it in the game.
LOL Better yet, a possible side effect of salvaged implants is you would get phantom memories of the previous owner. Random standing changes just to you ( IE Previous owner was Blue to Alliance A, but you have them set to red. Small random chance that your standings change and they show as blue), or maybe random temporary SP loss could be some fun side effects.
I Know it sounds like I am against the idea, but I really like it. Just wondering how ccp would implament it, and what sorta flaws it would have.

Autopsy should function similar to wreck salvaging, ie. the output is semi-random from a list of components that are be used for building implants, with the chance of getting more or less being determined by the quality and number of implants. The type of implant being irrelevant. ===============

Also THIS!
this will introduce new sub-professions: Undertaker (?) - a corpse salvager, skills effect chance of getting an implant, and/or number of implants salvageable before the corpse is destroyed Bio-engineer - implant maker, require science related skills (new work for all those research alts )
As for the isk sink/balance, i think there`s a lot more bigger issue in hand, lvl4 missions for example, which is seriously a broken isk making mechanic

So you think the "easy" way is to stick around to track down and pick up frozen corpses?
I'm not a pirate, but even I know this isn't easy, except maybe in Jita.
