Lol, and again thanx Alice. I should rename the thread to Ask Neo and Alice
the reason why i dont open a thread like this are the smartass questions i would get
then i had to try to find an answer
but for serious questions i like to help
I'm asking if you buy an Evade SI with 10.00 TT, (say, you got it for 3000%) and you insert it. If you don't get an ESI back, that means you can't technically chip in and out with JUST a 10% loss. (you have to pay for something like 800% for the ESI, which gets used up in the process)
Is that about right?
aaah
you don't get an ESI back on chipping
IN, just on chipping out
example
say you have a 20 ped ESI and chip out 1 ped of a skill, so you get a 1 ped skill implant+18.9 tt ESI (
1.1 ped "decay", since 10% of the skill are lost during extraction, it can roughly be calculated like that
when you chip IN your skill implant disappears
there is no skill lost while chipping in either
the 10% loss happens on chipping out, and i guess that it doesnt go on the skill points (say you chip out out 1000 points, you dont lose 100) but based on the tt
so if you chip 10 ped tt out you lose 1 ped of the skill
the 800% for the ESI however, you don't "lose", since they are already calculated into the sales price of the chip
so if you got your ESI for 3000%, the actual profit of the seller is just say 2200
gotta admit that skill chips arent my speciality, i rarely chipped out
