For discussion rather than feedback.
In DUST 514, a weapon is one of the most important pieces of equipment a mercenary can have at their disposal, and surely because of that, shouldn't the ability to adjust and modify be available to us all?
DUST offers an interesting way for the modifying our fits/dropsuits, it's quite simple to adjust your fits and it has all the information there when you're changing it, if the system was the same for the weapons, with different slots for different things, a Scope slot, Skin slot, Underbarrel slot and then highs and low slots for further adjustment with things such as Damage Modifiers, Clip extension, additional ammo capacity (total), reload speed modifiers, all with drawbacks to using them.

- Skin: Standard
- Scope: Red Dot Sight
- Underbarrel: None
- High Slot: Damage Modifier
- Low Slot: Extended Clip
Improving your weapons should be thought about, each modification offering a bonus and a penalty, not only this but you should also have to think about the PG/CPU requirements and on that topic I'd like to talk about that.
Weapons currently have PG/CPU requirements so if this was implemented we must look at how modifications can be limited rather than using the best type on all the weapons, so here's my two ideas about how it can be achieved, personally I prefer B.
Weapon CPU/PG System A wrote:
Weapons have the same PG/CPU as a modified weapon when fitting, weapons have their own inside requirements for modifications that have no effect on dropsuit fitting
Weapon CPU/PG System B wrote:
Weapons have a default amount of CPU/PG that changes when modified, so an Assault Rifle could cost 30 CPU and 3 PG to fit, but a modified Assault Rifle could cost 60 CPU and 6 PG to fit. This means there is no limit to the kind of weapon your want to create (except the slot limitations of course) but if you cannot attach it to your suit, you better lose something
Thoughts?
