Which are, coincidentally, two very different things:
- Biomass is the stuff that clones are made of. The best biomass is recycled cadavers. Read the tech articles.
- Capsule ("pod") goo is the hydrostatic cushioning and life support material that biomass clones float in.
So, clone goo would be the stuff surrounding the clones in their transport pods, not the stuff that they are made of. |

If I couldn't just on my eve pilot and buy jump about anything currently available on the Dust market i'd probably agree with you.
Wait. You can buy Infantry Gear in EVE now? I tried the other day and it wouldn't let me.  |

If you are revived by a nano injector, it counts as a "death" but not a clone loss. |

This spreads out the risk and later investments, gives you a means to participate in corp battles until grudge matches are returned, and even a potential pool of allies if your corp cannot bring a full show of force to a fight.
Right now 80m isk seems like a lot, its not and will be less so as this game progresses and higher end fights pay out better. Again I agree that the loss of grudge matches is unfortunate and needs to be returned, hopefully corp match work arounds and FW will help to alleviate that until they are returned.
This is essentially the type of zerging and NAPing behavior we were worried about from the kaiju corps that encouraged the devs to raise the price and make clone packs unlimited.
With the little guys it's cute (and encouraged) because they don't pose a threat to the overall game of PC. However, it might still be worth it for those corps to merge and/or join an alliance rather than just being a coalition.
However... Dun-dun-DUN!
There are only a few places in Molden Heath where you could do this. Most of the planets are in the two big megapockets that will likely be the favored stomping grounds of the kaijus.

To my mind, if you cannot regularly field 24 strongly-skilled people in the same timezone, you have no chance unless you are super, super, insanely good- like devhax good.
If the PFBHz don't quake at seeing the six members of your corp in a pubmatch, then your corp with six guys has no chance because you need 16 players to defend with unless they are totally godlike.
So why did I say 24 when you need 16 for a battle? Redundancy. You need to be able to reliably get 16 people on to fight. Even in an awesome corp, there is a high likelihood that 25% of your members will be unavailable for one reason or another.
24 - 25% = 16
It is also worth noting that 80M / 16 players is 5M each. That same 80M / 24 players is 3.3M apiece. |
