Perhaps what he means is once you have achieved the skills to unlock proto; that particular SKIN module would be unlocked for you. Idea for player driven marketing and videos Link

Robert Conway Concordiat Mercenaries 271	Posted - 2015.05.15 06:26:00 - [5] - Quote Aero Yassavi wrote: Assuming power cores can only change CPU and PG, not slots, there will likely still need to be offer suits opposed to officer power cores. Not a big deal add those are relatively few and we're still wiping a ton of redundant suits. Avallo Kantor wrote: Officer dropsuits have unique slot configurations. Powercores (as proposed) do not have the ability to modify slot layout. As such, Officer Dropsuits would still be separate. Powercores, as currently described, only enhance PG/CPU layout, which in combination with a 'teiricide' effort would effectively reduce the number of dropsuits from 120 down to a handful. That's why I asked. Better to work out all the kinks now. Idea for player driven marketing and videos Link

Go to your weapons fitting screen and put a sight on my Blaster Rifle to turn it into my Tactical Blaster Rifle. Or even just loading it with one of the traditional hybrid charges or something, but still that's something that could do it. A weapons fitting screen would only cause load when it's actually in use, and get cleared from cache afterwards. Eliminating weapon variants might be a decent thing though. Changing ammo type is something we have wanted for a long time. In Eve I would be in fleets where we would bring three different types of ammo with us with our projectile weapon minmatar ships so if we came up against an armor fleet we would switch to this ammo to deal with them, but if they had a high value shield target with them, we could reload to another ammo type specifically designed to take out shields.

Go to your weapons fitting screen and put a sight on my Blaster Rifle to turn it into my Tactical Blaster Rifle. thats different. a modular weapon system could replace all weapon variants with a single base variant, which we could then modify through a weapon fitting screen. the goal for that was to allow allow for editing weapon stats, such as, clip size, accuracy, recoil. ammo types could be possible too, though im not sure what'd we want them to effect. maybe the weapon's damage profile. but the point is that only the weapon would exist. no need for new art assets or anything Exactly. For rifles it would just be Blaster Rifle, Rail Rifle, Combat Rifle, and Scrambler Rifle. If you wanted your AScR, you would fit some sort of module to it, like an iron sight or something.

I'm using 'ammo' in this context as a substitute for 'powercore'. I don't believe in swapping ammo types in battle. I think if you could do that, you'd be required to go to a supply depot. At least that's my idea for changing ammo types. Idea for player driven marketing and videos Link

Just makes more sense from a RP perspective. Also just a thought, what if we called these "Rigs" to keep with EVE terminology? I mean sure they don't quite function like RIG mods do in EVE, but at least it'll be a familiar term and given how quickly we go through dropsuits compared to ships I doubt well ever get Rigs in the EVE sense. What about TASKs? Tactical Advancement Subsystems Kit? Also... as I was writing this I had Deja vu.... Like it was meant to be or something... I hate Deja vu... it freaks me out... Haha.

I kind of like the idea of some sort of acronym that incorporates aspects of subsytems, reactor, computer and datacore (datacores in eve represent the sum of a races knowledge about [subject]). So the datacore provides doctrinal info, the computer provides cpu, the reactor provides powergrid (and support for shield and armor functions?) and the subsystems flavor some of the other things like profile, scans and equipment/weapons. Jury rigging? Below is my idea for a new name. Robert Conway wrote: What about TASKs? Tactical Advancement Subsystems Kit? Also... as I was writing this I had Deja vu.... Shocked Like it was meant to be or something... I hate Deja vu... it freaks me out... Haha.Big smile Edit: Also, you could think of it this way because their "TASK" is to alter and "Advance" your suit. Edit #2: And its a "Kit" of different "Subsystems" that give you a different "Tactical" advantage. Ok I'm done with the edits. But you get my point. Idea for player driven marketing and videos Link

It's just I mainly do this from my phone which is outdated and thus don't comment on everything. I'm sort of waiting for Rattati to come back with good news before going knee deep in naming discussion. Except mine. Two posts on the 11th page. This was my idea. You might not like it though.

(Currently in flight) Yes, I am terrible at coming up with good names, so the final iteration will likely have a different name. Besides do we -really- need another Dust thing to abbreviate to PC? Could we create a new tread for naming ideas? There seem to be so many already it would be cool if they were all in one place for organization. Idea for player driven marketing and videos Link

Not too outlandish when you consider the implant tech we all use now was gifted to all the factions by Empress Jamyl Sarum because the current route everyone else was on with reverse engineering led to many going "514" and the Amarr found it better to share their improved tech with everyone over that. Amarr shared once, Amarr can share again. P.S. Avallo and I are both Amarr supporters so the lore really should tie to the Amarr rather than pirates. Heck, why not do the literal sense and say Avallo and myself created this, we are characters in the lore after all. Its was actually stolen by a pirate faction... Maybe the original tech that caused people to go 514,but the current tech we all use was actually gifted by Jamyl Sarum in crates. Can't link it since the link is Dust514.com, but go to media -> Fiction -> 514 and read I read it. It was very good. But some parts are still confusing... perhaps because I am not up to date on lore.
