Cosmyk3 Cloning system

Cosmyk3 Cloning system

This is a proposal for the re-spawn system.

It is a little complex, but will motivate gameplay.

Thanks to Semtex and Kim Hansson for inspiration in a previous post.

The difficult bit is having a component type that is unique to an individual player.

Cloning is not a right, it is a privilege.

The cloning process requires 3 input parts:

Biosource

Personality Data

Cosmyk3 connection sphere.

Biosource is obtained from organic material and water

Personality Data is acquired via scanning and is loaded onto a datapad

Cosmyk3 is made from two elements - Cosmyk3 crystal and tuned cosmyk3 dust. The two elements are assembled into a spherical package casing.

The cloning process will consume the cosmyk3 sphere and the biosource, the data will remain intact. An amount of electrical power will also be consumed for the cloning process.

Untuned Cosmyk3 dust is produced from damaged cosmyk3 crystal.

The Cosmyk3 dust will require tuning over time and space to the person to be cloned.

It is possible to use tuned cosmyk3 dust from another person but this is a tricky process as the dust needs to be reprocessed and blended with the new recipients dust. Reprocessed dust will have a lower yield, but overall if enough reprocessed dust is available,it will shorten the time for tuning significantly.

The tuning process for Cosmyk3 dust relies on proximity and movement. The greater distance that you travel with untuned Cosmyk3 dust the more you will convert to tuned dust. It is advised for you to carry untuned dust whenever possible.

Over the long journey to the Almagest system a significant amount of tuned Cosmyk3 dust was created with you. You managed to take 20 spheres to keep you going for the coming days.

The Cosmyk3 cloning system uses the Cosmyk3 crystal as a connection to the universe and the Cosmyk3 dust as the connection to your conscience form. The dust and crystal are bound and packaged in a sphere for easy use and transport. The sphere, biosource, and personality datapad must be loaded into the cloning station. A body blank is produced from the biosource, the Cosmyk3 is infused over the blank, the connection is made and your personality data is added to your new bodies memory matrix. Your conscience and body are stabilized, before waking.

Cosmyk3 is a colony patented product and Cosmyk3 sphere assembly and parts are available at many trade stations, though the rewards are high for any resource materials used for the Cosmyk3 system.

Cosmyk3 crystals are occasionally recovered from refinery process waste.

Completed spheres are unique to the individual, will have no value to anyone else and can not be salvaged.

Cosmyk3 crystal has a market value.

Cosmyk3 untuned dust has a market value

Cosmyk3 tuned dust has a market value, though it may be illegal to sell at most trade stations, there are side traders willing to buy.

The Cosmyk3 spherical packaging process is a trade secret, the is machinery tracked and carefully guarded.

I had thought that there could be a limit to the number of different personality datapads used with any single cloning station, but that may be being mean.

Does any of this make sense?
