Feature Suggestion - Funky rare 8 reso that ignores deployment limits
What is it?
Simply put, I'd like to see a new flavour of resonator - a level 8 resonator that ignores deploy limits (ie. an agent can deploy more than one of a portal) but is of sufficient rarity that it can't be spammed, and ideally can't be duplicated in a Quantum cap.
Why?
Access to kit is one of the biggest impediments to Ingress play, and whilst that's not a problem for those of us in busy areas or those with either high mobility or a ton of spare time to play, it is often a real problem for those in small or isolated communities, or in communities where a lot of the players are time-poor or of low mobility. Furthermore, it would remove the minimum* of 5 level 8 agents needed for a "pint n' frack", and anything that makes for more social fun is good stuff in my opinion.
Is that it?
Um, yeah. That's all there is to it. Simples.
* Yeah, I know you can do it with less if you're willing to sit there long enough.

What about lv9 resonators?
It would take only 3 agents ta make a lv8 portal, each one deploying one r9r8r7. The r9 could be a VR (not duplicate in quantum) only dropping of portal at lv8 or 9.
Being special resonators, they could also have a very high decaying rate, like 1h and not rechargeable. This will help gathering people, since if they decay, the portal will be left broken, unlinkable and lv7.
