Re: Implants


I find myself wondering what the vehicle specialist implants actually do.

The rest of them look like "perks" I guess?

It's more or less a direct quote. Of course these could very well be like the Warhammer Online Pre-Order XP buffs (i.e. unique).

Ya this list was one of the "pick one" rewards list. Pretty psyched for new implants but a little hesitant that they're offering some of them this way.

Re: Implants


I would assume these are some form of consumable item that gives you an early rank or skill in the listed specialty?

Id think of them more as implants like in EvE. You can wear them which give a constant passive bonus but can be switched out. Though thats what i want at least lol

As long as they can all be aquired without spending station cash I could care less - XP/Resource Booster excluded of course. and IIRC they said the ONLY thing you can spend station cash on is aesthetics and said XP/Resource boosters, otherwise it is a form of pay to win.

Re: Implants


Are these implants permanent options or one time use? I ask because the resource boosts are also called implants, and while those clearly state they are limited time use, the fact that they are called implants makes me wonder if all implants are temporary.

Edit: Oops, that's what I get for not refreshing the page before posting. Wondering if Hamma is right or if it's otherwise.

I think the way it's designed is that you have implants that give you statistical bonuses, and if you're using a boost, your boost is going to take up an implant slot that would have otherwise given you a performance increase.

Probably just increase the amount of exp/resources you gain from using the vehicle your "Implant" is tied to.

Re: Implants


So implants are consumable this time around? I take it we purchase them with resources...Too bad a lot of them sound awful.

Scythe specialist? Is this going to degenerate into me having to purchase a Scythe power soda that wears off every 10 minutes so that it gives me some extra damage?


I don't know, when I hear "consumable implant" it makes me think of a temporary buff. I don't know what was wrong with the old mecha- Aw, fuck it I have no idea how the system actually works so I'm just going to hold my tongue.
