If rigging were brought to the game, it would most likely be for suits and not weapons.

Some examples
Nanofiber Suit Structure - Increases base speed at the cost of base armor
Hybrid Light Weapon Burst Aerator - Increases main weapons rate of fire at the cost of greater fitting costs
Ancillary Current Router - Increases a suit's PG at the cost of CPU

Rigs could also provide resistances to certain types of damage for either shields or armor

The thing is, how do you make them have a similar drawback like they do in EVE where you can't unfit a rig without destroying it? Maybe give rigs x amount of uses and they stay fit to only that stack of fits? If you remove them or delete those fits you loose them?

I don't see it as much of a problem really as suits don't last long enough to warrant removing. The drawback will be the cost from constantly dying with them on, it'll pretty much be like any other module tbqh.

But it is an interesting thought. Possible rig buff transfers from EVE to dust could include.

Weapon fire interval time reduction (weapon type specific rigs)
Effective range for weapons increase (weapon type specific rigs)
Armor repair time reduction
Armor repair amount increase
Total shield increase
Shield regeneration increase.
Movement speed increase
Lock on time reduction (for swarms)

In EVE there are many different rigs but the majority of them would have drawbacks. There's more info about them here, so feel free to check that out as I'm not really trying to explain what they are right now. Anyways. I wanted to ask the community, what weapon would you rig and with what kind of rigging? I would probably try to rig up a Breach Assault Rifle to have a faster rate of fire.

What value does that actually add to the fitting system? It's not a thing of permanence, because suits are so throwaway in Dust compared to EVE. On topic - I would rig my plasma rifle to have a higher rate of fire, or rig my shotgun to have a longer range. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I thought the same thing but I figured they would just be fairly cheap and be selected from the fitting screen. I would see them being fit to the suit. I would rig a LR fit with a heat reduction rig. Drawback: 10% higher CPU cost and each level of laser weapon rigging lowers the drawback by one percent. "You people voted for Hubert Humphrey, and you killed Jesus." Raoul Duke

I believe in EVE, you can only get them through two manners, and one is through a manner of "looting." Would be nice to have "super modules" that you can only gain through random loots. Would also add extra depth to the market since you'd have rare dropsuits, rare weapons, and rare modules. "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all."

I always found it strange that modules on the suit changes attributes of the weapon (a separate part of the suit). Would be cool to have a fitting screen for our guns the way we have a fitting screen for our dropsuits and vehicles, and be able to tweak performance on our guns with weapon specific modules (scopes, red-dot sights, damage mods, spread reductors, cooling systems, nova-bayonets etc. etc.)

This would be great when we have a player market and would be a nice way of tying the two games together. Make it where you can only manufacture DUST rigs in EVE in order to continue to promote subscription to that game and for DUST mercs to be involved with EVE corps.

A similar reverse of that was being considered for linking the game economies. Dust Players would harvest drone salvage in districts through PVE and then send material up orbital elevators so Eve Capsuleers could make ship rigs. My impression is Dust was supposed to be an ISK sink for Eve Online. Your idea would promote that. Although there is a pitfall, if weapon rigs give a real advantage then a new element to proto-stomping will happen. Here, have some candy and a Like. :-) Forums > Game
