I would like to believe that the engineers out there would like us to have the latest and greatest, but isk does not grow on veldspar. No. Likely the dropsuit manufacturers are taking a lesson from the Caldari. They are only looking at the bottom line of mass manufacturing, mass appeal and low production cost.

The life expectancy of the combat clone ,in practice, is never more than 15 minutes, and averages from .5 to 1. Planet dwellers can live without their gastrointestinal tract for cycles, Dont see why a combat clone needs it at all. Thats almost .25 cm^3 of space right there. Back to the implant. Amarrians are the greatest religious zealots known, all for the god-queen and such. It makes sense that they use the implant for the immortality effect. The only reason the Amarrians ever change at all is because every 5 centuries or so their ruler goes insane from the sense of invulnerability that all of the cybernetic replacement parts grant. Using the implant instead of replacing parts, could potentially allow the Empress to rule without the ugliness of insanity -for all time. Now maybe this is just a Minmatar trait, but we think outside the box. We see something discarded and wonder what else it can be used for. I am wondering what the implant was intended for. Apparently, the original purpose didn't work out so well for The Sleepers as they no longer exist... or.... We know: We can use it for near instant transfer of consciousness. We can replicate it from common and inexpensive materials. We can take it apart and put it back together, and it works the same way While we are not inside a meat sack, we can experience the digital world. I think that last part is the most important. We know for sure two things about Sleepers. They built enormous structures in the middle of W- space and all of these structures are protected by some of the toughest drones ever encountered. What I'm getting at is- Maybe immortality was not the intent of the implant, at least not as we use the term. Maybe the point of the implant was to become a drone. What if the Sleepers designed the implant to achieve the first phase of a conscious drone by placing themselves into it.
