Sleeves
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
When VitaLife unveiled their Persona Core technology that allowed people to digitize
|
|
|
|
|
and transfer their consciousness into other vessels, human bodies became nothing more
|
|
|
|
|
than 'sleeves' for the human consciousness. This technology thus became known as
|
|
|
|
|
"Sleeve technology".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeve technology unlocks two different gameplay features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Duplicate Sleeves
|
|
|
|
|
* Re-sleeving
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeve technology is unlocked in :ref:`BitNode-10 <gameplay_bitnodes>`.

Duplicate Sleeves
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
Duplicate Sleeves are MK-V Synthoids (synthetic androids) into which your consciuosness
|
|
|
|
|
has been copied. In other words, these Synthoids contain a perfect duplicate of your mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Duplicate Sleeves are essentially clones which you can use to perform work-type actions,
|
|
|
|
|
such as working for a company/faction or committing a crime. When sleeves perform these tasks,
|
|
|
|
|
they will earn money, experience, and reputation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeves are their own individuals, which means they each have their own experience and stats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a sleeve earns experience, it earns experience for itself, the player's
|
|
|
|
|
original consciousness, as well as all of the player's other sleeves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronization
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronization is a measure of how aligned your consciousness is with that of your
|
|
|
|
|
Duplicate Sleeves. It is a numeral value between 1 and 100, and it affects how much experience
|
|
|
|
|
is earned when the sleeve is performing a task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let N be the sleeve's synchronization. When the sleeve earns experience by performing
|
|
|
|
|
a task, both the sleeve and the player's original host consciousness of N% of the
|
|
|
|
|
amount of experience normally earned by the task. All of the player's other sleeves
|
|
|
|
|
earn ((N/100)^2 * 100)% of the experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronization can be increased by assigning sleeves to the 'Synchronize' task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeve Shock
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeve shock is a measure of how much trauma the sleeve has due to being placed in a new
|
|
|
|
|
body. It is a numeral value between 0 and 99, where 99 indicates full shock and 0 indicates
|
|
|
|
|
no shock. Shock affects the amount of experience earned by the sleeve.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sleeve shock slowly decreases over time. You can further increase the rate at which
|
|
|
|
|
it decreases by assigning sleeves to the 'Shock Recovery' task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Re-sleeving
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|

|
|
|
Re-sleeving is the process of digitizing and transferring your consciousness into a
|
|
|
|
|
new human body, or "sleeve". When you re-sleeve into a new body, your stat experience
|
|
|
|
|
and Augmentations get replaced with those of the new body.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to re-sleeve, you must purchase new bodies. This can be done at VitaLife in
|
|
|
|
|
New Tokyo. Once you purchase a body to re-sleeve into, the effects will take
|
|
|
|
|
place immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that resleeving **REMOVES** all of your currently-installed Augmentations,
|
|
|
|
|
and replaces them with the ones provided by the purchased sleeve. However,
|
|
|
|
|
Augmentations that are purchased but not installed will **not** be removed. If you have purchased
|
|
|
|
|
an Augmentation and then re-sleeve into a body which already has that Augmentation,
|
|
|
|
|
it will be removed since you cannot have duplicate Augmentations.
