Subj: New SimuCoin Store Item: Enhancive Pauses!

>A quick question – equipping an enhancive has the potential for stripping a charge, in addition to the random drain effect.
Do these mechanisms forego that potential? Or does the potential for stripping a charge upon activation still exist?

The way enhancive charge drain works is that each active enhancive item is checked every so often while it is activated. If enough time has passed since the last degradation roll, then a new degradation roll is made. Equipping an item or using INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON both simply activate the item. Whether the degradation roll occurs or not depends solely on the time since the last degradation roll — the method of activation has no bearing on this.

Once I use the inv enhansive off. Do I still have to potential to loose charge by removing or wearing enhansives?

No. As noted above, none of your enhancive items will be active, so there will be no charge degradation rolls.

Also, just for my own reference, what is the behavior when the clock runs out? Do all your enhancives just turn back on, or do I get one last switch if they’re off. I just want to make sure that if I start doing this and lose track of time that I’m not SOL if I think they’re off for a week after time runs out.

The only thing that is gated is the use of the INVENTORY ENHANCIVE OFF command. If your enhancives are turned off and your 30-day timer expires, they will continue to be off until you turn them back on via INVENTORY ENHANCIVE ON (which is always a free command to use).
