No. Damage modifiers are useful for customization. Or at the very least, they should be. We should have the option to try and maximize our damage output. That being said, I do dislike how it currently works. It's basically the only weapon modifier for infantry, and there are no downsides to it other than the lost slots and resources. |

Should we also restrict armor modules so that only one can be allowed on any suit? And shield modules? Wait, I've got it! A radical idea on dropsuit balance! Just get rid of tanking modules and skills that increase hitpoints! Genius, right? |

Did you really just say that?

Damage modifiers never add more than 10% to damage output.
Complex shield extenders and armor plates add far more than 10% to your hitpoint count. Case in point, complex shield extenders add more than 80 HP and complex armor plates add more than 100 HP. That's a whole lot more than 10% for an Assault dropsuit. |

It's pretty obvious.
Weapon modifiers that increase rate of fire would act like damage modifiers, except that they would increase the drawbacks as well. They would still increase your overall DPS, but they would also increase recoil, heat build-up and ammo consumption. In other words, it would be much better balanced than it is currently. That being said, I do dislike how damage modifers currently work. All they do is provide a flat bonus to damage with no functional drawbacks other than the loss of dropsuit resources.
He also wants weapon modifiers that do other things, but I didn't want to go into that. |
