+1, I totally agree.
I miss implants in TC lockers, Warehouse, Reno. I believe that removing them, while it may have been done with good intent, only made this feature more of a grind. Last season, getting a "fully implanted" fighter was a goal one could reach. Now it seems like a goal beyond our reach. You find an AG implant now for example, and do what with it? Re-design your build for it? And then you find a Dermal implant and do what? Re-Rolling deletes the AG implant! So no more fully-implanted fighters? Grrr...
+1 to idea about a TC-like place, or even if not - to bring back implants. That Special Encounter with robots and 1 implant is awesome, but it's simply too rare as a sole means to get implants.
I do not want to mess up Ares though. So maybe Talchem could have chance for tier 4 items. Or some other new places.
