I haven't seen any threads for this, so I'm posting it here.
Hopefully someone will make one. I'd much rather put a post like this into a place where it doesn't thin out discussion.
GRID
Generator of Resources In Device
CPM
Computation/Power Module
OS
Onboard Systems
NUCES
uNified Utility Core Enhancement System
This one can be made funnier, by making it:
NUKES
uNified Utility Kern Enhancement System
Note: Kern is German for Core
GIRTH
Globalized Internals RefiTting Hack
This one could be a setup for a good bit of backstory.
I, for one, would love to upgrade my GIRTH and see dozens of threads about the stompers and their extreme GIRTH builds. |

To be fair, we are immortal mercenaries with questionable loyalties. Maybe some Dustbunnies came together and decided to make those pesky dropsuits more flexible and easier to transport, by stripping out the internal systems and forcing the manufacturers to stop selling crappy proprietary fully kitted suits.
This system should lower prices quite a bit, by enabling competition on the market and making transport of suits cheaper and allowing suit sellers to be more focused, as they don't need specialist frames anymore.
I'd like the final name of the system to actually imply some backstory like this. |

Aero Yassavi wrote:My problem with the auxiliary power core symbol from EVE is it had the power grid symbol as part of it which is furthering the reason I don't actually want this to be called a power core.
Also, it would provide computational capacity and not just power.
Is there maybe an object in EVE lore that can both produce power an do calculations at the same time? |

Dropsuits will be priced at lower points due to the CORE system.
And using COREs removes redundancy in your buying of equipment, meaning that you pay less in total. |

It's not my goal to change the financial impact of losing suits. Using cores would still end in equal end price.
I'm fully aware that the total price won't change.
But dropsuits themselves will inevitably get cheaper due to offloading the price to the core and efficiency might go up, depending on how a player utilizes their suits and what their buying habits are like. |

That's exactly what I mean, for ****'s sake.
The suit is cheaper. The overall cost stays the same. |

The suit is a BPO, to say, and the core would cost the same as a the suits we have currently.
Exactly. Or not a BPO, just very cheap, according to what some people in the thread seem to prefer. |
