Wrong, since the entire games fundamental core is play/counterplay he who has the most viable counters available is most likely to win. Sure, your 10M guy gets a kill or two but Mr 269M guy just keeps going through the toolbox till he finds the mix to put 10M man into the redline.

please...smh

How bout all that hard-learned trial-and-error military knowledge is already staying with the player who is already blessed with the ability to create a new alt and use it so there's no need for the SP to be carried over too?

If I respec'd my 30 mil SP alt and did this transfer thingy id have 103mil SP just like that.

Although thats lovely, yeah, no.

This time, dictates how much SP wastage occurs in creating the new implant.

2 day production time: 30% loss
5 day production time: 20% loss
7 day production time: 10% loss

If a 1.000.000 SP (1mill) booster is made over 5 days, it then requires 1.200.000 SP (1,2mill)

So I create an alt and send all my non-passively generated SP to it. Altfarm, stat wipe and brandnew identity achieved. Decisions having Consequences? Nullified.

Hot damn I like the corporationS pooling SP into a super soldier!!!! Locked character perhaps only used only at allotted "release" dates? Definitely emergent gameplay which compliments lore. I'm thinking Iron Man's Hulk Buster suit combined with ED 209. Could provide new threats within the PC battlefield.

Then whats the point? Again, you can do all of this with existing mechanics- go "gladiate" brand new zero SP characters.

Cool idea dude! I think the naysayers are misunderstanding concept though I don't know how that's possible.

There are a good bit of points to sort through in the proposal, but I feel like broken record in saying passive SP (including boosted passive SP) cannot be touched for extraction, which is key in practically eliminating Alt-farming SP to your main account.

If boosted passive SP was allowed, you'd encourage wealthy players to stack passive boosters on their alt accounts and feed it up to the main that way.

Tracking boosted passive SP is a simple as going into the account data and flagging the numbers and type of passive boosters activated on that account. Passive boosters release a finite amount of bonus SP over a given period of time.

I'm hesitant about adding new features like ugraded power suits, or the Omega clone and pirate module idea that I proposed in the other topic under addition features.

I am more open to allowing skill implants to be combined with existing regular boosters to craft synergized boosters in order to enhance/compliment CCP's sale of existing boosters.

And I am absolutley opposed in entirety to SP transference mechanics being introduced here. Forget hesitant. No. I don't care how many warbarge levels are needed or how fast or slow it transfers.

I too hate the damn fat kids who think its just their cake so they can go ahead and fart all over it. **** having random alts running around with a bunch of SP they didnt earn.

@Krixus

He helps in his own way by bumping the topic.

Let's walk through the investment needed to go underground relatively fast with your most (not all) of your previous SP.

1.) Have warbarge implant factory to level 5. This requires about 88500 components, or about 265,500 AUR if you want to buy them. This doesn't factor in bypass cooldown time which is factory of magnitude larger.

2.) Now that you have implant factory level 5, you may use Grade A components which hold 1.000.000 SP (1mill). These implant components cost District Kredits x*5 to acquire if bought from NPC vendor.

2 day production time: 30% loss
5 day production time: 20% loss
7 day production time: 10% loss

If a 1.000.000 SP (1mill) booster is made over 5 days, it then requires 1.200.000 SP (1,2mill)

If a player wants to have the lowest lost of skill points they will go with the 7 day option. If for example a 269 million SP character who has been playing for 24 months wants to disappear it will factor as so.

269,000,000 SP Total:
-26,280,000 passive sp gained over 24. Locked from use.

242,720,000 SP available for extraction:
It would take 220 weeks to extract this amount with a 7 day production time using 1.000.000 SP implants because process requires 1.100.000 SP to activate process.

Up to two additional production slots may be unlocked during 'each' job run with AUR or District Kredits. Using the maximum slots could reduce that 220 weeks down to 73 weeks--just a little over a year.

3.) A player could buy already produced implants with stolen corp funds. As we can see above, someone had to go through the process of making these implants in order to afford the player the ability to make this decision. The investment is still there and the economy is stimulated by the choice.

Bump for input.
