He is talking about having CCP implement a techno-wizardry item which breaks down the matter, and reconverts it into a usable form for the Mercs current Dropsuit load out. Nanohive which only works for you, steals from the dead, and makes the usage of the actual Nanohive equipment module useless. |

I didn't scroll up enough to see some of the other posts before writing in response. Yes, the corpses burning up would have to be changed so that the dead body stays on the ground for pick up. I actually had a dream the other night that they changed the mechanic. Little drones were flying around the battlefield from each side of the conflict, picking up dead clones and removing them from the battlefield so that the matter could be recycled and used in various applications. Then I started shooting them and stealing the gear... Was an odd dream.
But back to the matter at hand. If the bodies were to stay on the field after the mind had been destroyed for cloning, then I could imagine a mechanic being added in whereby you either get matter that can be used to refuel your ammo, or as a more lucrative and reliable way to collect scrap at the end of a battle. As I see it, the bodies are burning up because the brain has been turned to jelly upon recloning, and the suit is set to meltdown when mental activity stops. *shrug* Seems reasonable to believe. As far as Vehicles? Well, with so much nano tech in this universe, I would have to assume that they are breaking down the remaining metal so that it isn't sitting around. But where does it go...?
EvE does have a thriving wreck looting and salvaging industry... I could see a module created that allows you to salvage downed Vehicles, bodies (if they aren't burning up so quick), etc. As to whether that would be a given on each suit, or an actual equippable I couldn't say. Likely more of an 'on suit' kind of thing.
Wow... Lots of rambling... |
