Hey all,
After checking 2 pages of the brainport, I noticed that there are some threads complaining about how bad the Marine and MOVEON are, but nobody is making a proper suggestion on how to fix them. It's usually "they sux, devs do something".
So, I decided to actually make a useful suggestion regarding these imps as well as a few others (current and new)
***Marine CPU***
Split this one up in 2 new implants. Just like was done for several other rare and MC5 implants.
Marine CPU:
between 3.85 and 3.97 STR (to be in line with the other rare imps)
+15.xx H-C
+15.xx T-C
Brawler CPU:
between 3.85 and 3.97 STR (to be in line with the other rare imps)
+15.xx M-C
+15.xx T-C
All current Marine CPU's stay Marines but can be exchanged at an NPC for a Brawler CPU.
Brawler CPU rare parts have to be added to the drop tables of mobs.
***BioTech M.O.V.E.O.N. CPU***
I find it hard to come up with ideas that don't make this a "must have" implant again like it was in the old days.
It should be a useful implant but not mandatory for every tank out there.
So here is a random suggestion. If you don't like it, don't flame me but try to come up with a better idea instead.
+2 STR
+2 CON
+8 TRA
+12 HLT
+10 H-C
+10 M-C
+10 T-C
***Area MC5 Dimension Splitter***
Split this one up in 2 new implants. Just like was done for several other rare and MC5 implants.
I don't know if it's intentional, but this implant actually gives more secondary stat bonusses than the other MC5 implants.
I have adjusted this as well in my suggestion below to bring it in line with the other implants.
Area MC5 Dimension Splitter:
+5.23 PSI
+10.46 PSU (10.46 lower than before to be in line with other MC5 implants)
+10.46 FCS (10.46 lower than on current implant)
+10.46 PPW
+10.46 APU (new, taken from FCS)
Area MC5 Dimension Mender:
+5.23 PSI
+10.46 PSU (10.46 lower than before to be in line with other MC5 implants)
+10.46 FCS (10.46 lower than on current implant)
+10.46 PPW
+10.46 PPU (new, taken from FCS)
All current Dimension Splitters stay as Dimension Splitters but they can be exchanged at an NPC for a Dimension Mender.
Dimension Mender rare parts have to be added to the drop table of the base commander.
***Hacknet Implants***
I never had a hacknet spy myself, but I figured that they could use a little bit of love, at least implant wise.
Hacknet CPU 1.1:
TL and INT requirement around 10-15
+1 INT
+3.75 HCK
+1.25 T-C
Sold at Cryton's
Hacknet CPU 1.2:
TL and INT requirement around 30-40
+1.xx INT (possibly close to 2)
+10 HCK
+5 T-C
Sold at Point Red
Hacknet CPU 1.3:
TL and INT requirement around 60-75
+2xx INT (possibly close to 3)
+15 HCK
+8 T-C
Sold by the BioTech Faction Supply Manager.
Special Binary CPU:
TL and INT requirement around 80-85, in line with other rare imps.
between 3.85 and 3.97 INT (to be in line with the other rare imps)
+15.xx HCK
+15.xx T-C
Special Binary CPU rare parts have to be added to the drop tables of mobs.
Area MC5 Hacknet Uplink:
+5.23 INT
+20.92 HCK
+20.92 T-C
Hacknet Uplink rare parts have to be added to the drop table of the base commander.
I hope this can be of some use to sort out the crazy state some implants are in now.
