well in pogo u have 1 permanent incubator, if u want more and those that hatch eggs faster u must buy a premium incubator from store so i guess we will see something similar for ingress.
It can also work both ways, with simpler recipes being hackable and rarest ones being bought too or exclusive to buy. Together with faster capsules thats a good combo, allowing players to either buy VR recipes to use in their free capsule, or buy a lot of capsules.
If that was available on Pokemon go I would have bought some 10km eggs on the dragon event.
Niantic could stop all this wild speculation by simply telling us, which they are going to have to do eventually. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding this marketing department led 'build the hype' stuff intensely annoying.
I suppose it's worth clarifying - I'm hoping this is more like a walking-fueled horadric cube from Diablo than another godawful incubator clone / money grab.
If it ends up being similar to incubators (insert item, walk 2km, receive garbage), it's incredibly unlikely I'll use it. I'm not sure many players would.
For me, it will depend on the rarity of the item. If I'm walking 5km to create an L8 xmp, I'm with ya, low interest level. If I'm able to reliably walk 5km for some VR heat sinks or force amps, I'm at least slightly more interested.
We'll have to see what they give us, what the cost is and go from there. I purchased a number of incubators in my PoGo days, but the reward was something actually worth walking for, to some degree. I'm curious to see if they can make these worthwhile and even profitable.
"Reliably walk 5km for $X" really sums it up. I'm not interested in Pokemon Go-style garbage slot machines. However, I would play hard for a reliable alternate channel for certain mods and items, assuming the effort cost is reasonable.
I hope we dont get lower out put from portals on hacks when kinetic capsule relese and Niantic stearing we must use kinetic capsule. Very nice if we can use the capsule tog earn free CMU and we must do somthing to earn CMU. Only read we can sit home and do nothing if we only pay for subscription. Not fun.
Please do something fun we must do to ern little free CMU. Not fun when we dont have nothing to do for free CMU only sit home or sleep never play Ingress and get CMU. Both in Pokémon GO and Harry Potter we must do somthing to earn money.
Tbh I'm up for turret and force amp rework. Theyare hardly being used, you can get plenty shields by hacking, there is no need to put them into crafting.
Remember that if everyone plays with vr, they will likely lose their value eventually. Very rare means very rare, even if you can get them through crafting
@Neku69 We will have to see, I am not sure it will make a huge difference, as there is a significant distance walked component to them, which will still mean that their value, hopefully, will remain, or drop very marginally

Yes but the free one should be greatly limited just to push people to buy them

Yeah, "up to 9, but 8 are purchased" is a good way to encourage people, because they get the first one free.
If there's only one at a time though, the recipes would be the purchased thing.
Ignore this comment.

I see we get free items if we pay for subscription. I think or hope we can get few Kinectic if we pay if Niantic dont like or do it for free.
Oh imagine if:
“Event exclusive recipe: Hack 100 portals during this special event to get Hank Johnson Hypercube recipe”
Or we can go Pokémon Go and have capsules and resonators with hats.

They did say soon™
I hope Kinetic Capsule are sponsored and free for all on hacks.
@NianticBrian @NianticCasey Tell us if the Kinetic Capsule are free!
Can the company sponsored? Now i feel the Kinetic Capsule are free if I look and read on link.
Its probably gonna be release officially on next update or as soon as the current one get pushed to all devices.
Kinetic is just a word that means movement.
Now that's disappointing.
That, too, would be disappointing.

Initial Recipes will be,
Very Rare Heatsink
Very Rare Multi Hack
Very Rare Shield
Very Rare Ultra Link Amp (SBULA)
This is a guess based on recent passcodes, and Niantic's own metrics on what people are hoarding.
I do not expect at launch or any time in the near future, Very Rare Link Amps to be craftable, or flip cards.
I hope that there will be an option for Very Rare Turrets, and Very Rare Force Amps, as these haven't had the the VR treatment other mods have had.

Tbh, if this is true, then is a lost opportunity for towers and force amps.
But I don't know where did you get the info.
You also get CMU, so they'll probably prefer to let you buy them with the CMU.
Wild Speculation™ is how Niantic gets free advertising.
It is strongly speculated with recent "junk" passcodes for things like CHS, CMH,LA and CS
It isn't definitive.
Perhaps they are the recipes
Im sure they’ll be posted here in the forums until otherwise proven wrong, lol
It Makes sense because lots of players, including myself, are hoarding lots of VRS, VRMH, VRHS and ULAs.
Which we need to hoard for when we key farm, or make lots of fields.
Aegis and VR Shields are used for Anomalies and Hexathlons, so putting them on local portals is a waste, because they are so rare.
Being able to craft these, will mean that it will no longer be necessary to hoard as many, thus relieving the current inventory constraints.

You have quite a treasure there in that Kinetic Capsule.
Or play in very active areas and that portal is anchoring a field and MUST score.
I've just looked the output of the passcodes and I believe you are right
