personally i find doing higher-end wormhole stuff kinda rewarding (and I'm gonna start doing it again) because you get to chill in mumble, have some interesting pve in tight comps, watch out for pvp, all while in (now good looking) BIGASS SPACESHIPS

like i kinda forgot about what made eve cool but when i came back and rolled around shooting stuff in a spaceship i remembered what i liked about this game way back

currently they give a percentage bonus to armor, the slave implant name is going to be shield or something? but current slaves will be renamed to something else

Why are you guys so quick to preemptively slander people who, as far as the rest of us know, left peacefully and in good standing? I've been following this whole drama because it's hugely entertaining, and all I've heard about DJ is that he said "I'm not really feeling the Imperium, I'm leaving but I don't hold any enmity against Goons."

As Garr Khan, your opinion does not matter at all when it comes to a subject such as this.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:

What are slave implants?

Slave implants are faction implants for slots 1-6; they drop from Sansha rats, or can be purchased from Sansha LP stores. Each one gives a small bonus to learning, and also boosts your base armor.

Collectively, a full set of them can add huge amounts of HP to an armor ship, and are basically mandatory if you want to competently pilot an armor-tanked supercapital ship.

At the moment, there is no equivalent implant set for shield supers, which is why they've been historically unpopular. Most shield-tanked supers end up using a set of Nomad implants (increased mobility) instead, because there's nothing better for them to use.

At Fanfest today, they announced that they'll be adding a new set of pirate implants that boost shield HP, to compete / equate with the Slave implants.

There's a tiny bit of weirdness here in naming -- Slave implants currently come from Sansha, which is traditionally a shield tanked NPC race. So, at the same time that they announced the new shield slaves, they announced that all existing Slave implants would be renamed to Blood implants, and sold by Blood Raiders in the future. Sansha agents/rats will provide the new shield implants, which will be called Slave sets.

It's terribly confusing and stupid.

In the game lore they come from the Sansha pirate faction, whose members are sort of remote controlled cyber-zombies called slaves. Hence, slave implants.

The super cyber-zombies actually only account for a small percentage of the Sanshas Nation fighting force. Most are either generic capsules like us or partially enhanced. While the Nation does employ some mild altering to keep things stable on the Sansha homeworlds outright mind control isn't really a thing. It would be far to difficult and expensive to out fit the entire population with the necessary implants. In addition those on the top strata of Nation society are doctors, researchers, engineers, and others whose freedom of mind is more important than maintained control :eng101:



EDIT: In addition, Sansha's Nation is the only pirate faction that hasn't outright teamed up with other pirate factions in the past, and generally policies their space to get rid of them just like the other empires. Nation ships also employ shields as many of the Nations engineers are Caldari, but the reliance on lasers came from Stain being remote and lasers cutting down on ammunition needs. Essentially everything about nation ships is efficient, lasers don't need ammo, afterburners use less cap, and shields naturally regenerate.

CSB time about Sansha: Remember when wormholes were first released and CCP gave everyone in the game an Echelon ship and a Purloined Sansha Data Analyzer? If you reprocess the analyzer, it gives you a new gag item, which you can reprocess again, etc.

Eventually, at the end of the reprocessing chain, is this item:
