maybe deadcatz the nomercs 429	Posted - 2015.08.05 15:50:00 - [1] - Quote You can get either a pistol or a TANK out of one of those tuna cans. Is the encrypted strongbox the biggest troll to date? If its as big as a tank how does it hold nearly 9 greyscale lavs? If its big enough to hold a TANK who would use it to transport ONE FUDGING SHOTGUN? Im so curious now. Please give us an answer ccp. Is it some kind of matter compression doohicky? Magic? Ill be eating potato chips and drinking mountain dew and making some dank memes while i wait. Need a speedy bro scout?

Nanites are space magic. Bloody nanos. They cant make em construct a anime figurine thats actaully a live grenade(so i can kill you with kawaii) because they told me it was a waste of nanos. But even nanos would have trouble with construcing a tank with a limited supply. You cant make something out of nothing. Needs some base matter to use. So how big would a box be really?

I forgot about it but that is how we have countless assets in the game. Officer gear has a license? Lemme just figure out how the experimental lab use warbarge components to make some licenses(maybe its like a credit card?) for equipment you cant buy on the market. Need a speedy bro scout?

The licenses probably aren't tied to anyone, which is why they're kept in a strongbox. Lemme just get my photocopier and start copying licenses then. Its not illegal. Because techincally thats a bpo. A machine that spits out unlimited licenses for the object in question. Need a speedy bro scout? Mail me,comes with shotgun and 20 pound bag of catnip for teh clonocide.(teh fak,cannot spell)

I doubt he thought out the way strongboxes and warbarge generation fits within the previously established lore. As such, this is sketchy territory and it's our job to fill in the blanks using what we know. Now that we got that cleared out of the way, I'll try to explain. A license could be something like a data core from EVE. It's a physical object that contains an immense amount of information. You can't simply copy them, you need the original to create copies, an original that we don't have. Which is explains why you can't simply "download" a suit (YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A HAV - PIRACY, IT'S A CRIME), as that suit is "inside" a data core that needs to be interpreted by a computer that instructs nanites how to construct it. So all i needs to do is grab a data core and delete whats in it(probaly a milita suit) Then run it through some equipment and imprint a peice of officer gear to it. Then run that through a another set of equipment that makes duplicates of the input item. Make sure the gear js in all of them and bam. I just made a bpo. Need a speedy bro scout?

You can sell and resell blueprint copies in EVE, but that doesn't mean you can copy them. My photocopy machine says difreent. And theres plenty of smart peeople whod be willing to trawl into this area for some isk. Need a speedy bro scout?

Then the fancy license shows the blueprint to the nanites(incorprating that idead) and pow. You get an item. But i wanna know is HOW BIG IS THE BOX? Because making a tank out of matter means you need alot of matter and assuming that the boxes seem to be a set size you could have a huge box with enough matter for a scrambler pistol. Or you could get a tiny box that spits out 9lavs and squishes you when you open it. And lemme keep the key ay least. Why is ccp pulling a valve move. What does the key just explode or something?

None of these are possible. You can't delete what's on a data core, you can't imprint a piece of officer gear on it that you don't have the original of, and you can't make copies without the original. This isn't binary data, EVE tech is thousands of years more advanced and uses completely different technologies and ideas for computation and storage. Fine. Theres plenty of crus on the field and supply depots. Lets just upload a bit of data to make a officer scrambler pistol fountain. Need a speedy bro scout?

The nanites aren't included. Nanites are everywhere, they're even in the blood of our clones. In fact they're acting as better red blood cells and white cells, replacing them in our blood, which is why it would look silvery rather than red. Getting nanites to construct an item wouldn't be difficult in this world. Can i get some anime figurines and a bodypillow? Its kinda boring in merc hq. Smells like stale plasma all the time.

Yes actually. Nanites are magic. They can become anime figurines and bodypillows. Finally.
