Weapons and Hive Cores
Currently, most hive processor cores have very little use. They were made a bit more valuable by the last economy update, and some are used in manufactoring, but this is not enough, imo.
I propose a mission/missions that allow you to trade a hive core, a weapon/mining beam/missile/mine, and some money for an enhanced version of that weapon.
Each core, when fused/melded into a weapon, such as a Neutron Blaster, would increase the efficiency of the weapon somehow. It may be increased velocity, increase damage, less delay, less energy, etc.
For instance, a Guardian processor core, 25,000c (Cost to use station's equipment), and a Neutron Blaster would be taken from a player. The player would receive an Enhanced Neutron Blaster, with advanced stats compared to a normal Neutron Blaster(merely an example): +5% damage, +2 m/s velocity, -.01s delay. How much the Neutron Blaster is changed depends on the core. An Orun processor core might only increase damage by 50, leaving the velocity and delay alone.
There is also the idea of including mining beams. For example, an Artemis processor core may increase the efficiency of any mining beam it is incorporated into by 10%.
When it comes to adding cores to flares/rockets/missiles/mines, I believe cores should increase stats such as splash radius, velocity, and ammunition.
The following are the benefits I would place with cores, in order of energy||mines and missiles||mining beams. Feel free to comment on values.
Orun Processor Core: +5% damage||+10% splash radius||+5% efficiency
Dentek Processor Core: +5% damage, +2 m/s velocity||+1 ammunition||+7% efficiency, +5% range.
Artemis Processor Core: +7% damage, -1 energy||+5 m/s velocity, +10% splash radius||+10% efficiency, +10% to all bonuses on mining (such as on Xithricite Mining Beams, DeniPhase Mining Beams, etc)
Guardian Processor Core: +5% damage, -.01s delay, +2 m/s delay||+1 ammunition, +10% splash radius||+5% efficiency, +5% range
Queen Processor Core: +20% damage||+3 ammunition||+15% range, +10% efficiency.
Note: You may only place one core on a weapon/missile/mining beam/mine.
Note 2: There is a slightly related post at http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/23374.
Note 3: Prices to use station equipment would vary, and the more advanced cores (guardian, queen) would be more expensive.

I like this. Not sure bout the increased prox fuse where it applies, I dont care one way or the other but I can see the people who whine about flares whining even more. Maybe if it increased splash damage instead?
I agree, increasing splash would be more desirable. Changed all prox increases to splash increases.

I built up quite the stock of bot cores when I was a newb, be nice to have a use for them.

cores + manufacturing = win. We need manufacturing first though. While we're at it: thread hijack! :p
