As others mentioned, I use PG upgrades to put something good on a low-end suit. I use them more than CPU extenders...but I rarely go out in these suits so it's neither here nor there.

In all honesty, their only use is to make a novelty fit - some have had real fun with this - stacking them on a cloaked commando etc. Really...there is no way to make them better IMO - when is it ever gonna be better to run something that boosts melee damage over something else.
Give them some other bonus too? The melee boost is still pointless IMHO, without a game mode that is melee only.

Now that there sounds useful. Do the same for CPU boost mods.

A lot of the problem I see with the PG upgrade is the CPU cost. If I've got the CPU for the mod but not the PG I try and fit a PG upgrade but the cost on it usually means I no longer have the CPU to use it.
Doc DDD wrote:Combine cpu and pg chips again. Those were cool and you wont be messing with buffing armor again bby putting pg in high slots.
I was about to suggest the same (if I've understood correctly).
Have a single module that boosts both stats. Also, allow it to be placed in any slot. If that's a go, get some experts to theory craft the suits they would run with that to make sure it's balanced.
Alternatively, ditch both CPU and PG mods and be done with it :)
I assume any changes don't have to affect vehicle fittings - that's a separate balancing issue that should be addressed separately. Unless lore.

The other issue with the current PG progression is that only two types of players have to deal with it. Newbies; and Top gear vets. People who are between suffer naught from fitting problem.
Tell that to my M/1 Scout

Also, PDU's from eve would be nice (less pg, but small shield bonuses). the one thing everyone here agrees is something needs to move up, and some of these mods need less pg usage.
high slot utility mods:
damage
precision
low slot utility:
pg and cpu
profile
range
speed and stamina
hacking
It seems to me that the only way for it to be useful, even in high, is to cram in another proto rep or plate. Personally I would alwas stick with adv low and a proto dmg mod in my high. Noone really replied with a good use case so we will take these ideas, and your myofib ideas into consideration for future buffs, but nothing immediate. Thanks everyone. To be fair, nobody in eve use fitting mods either. The general rule is that if you need to use a fitting mod, you did something wrong in your fit or you need to improve your fitting skills. You can always find something more useful than a fitting mod
Sure they do. I have two Large Ancillary Current Routers on my Domi. Whether or not that means I should do something else that doesn't require them isn't really relevant, because that is my go-to fit, not a throw-away fit that I use in highly situational scenarios.
Comparing DUST mods to Eve is problematic because mid-slots and rigs.

Hey what's the animation like for punching the **** out of a merc with a drop uplink? The way your merc carries those things, it's like they're ready to blap someone over the head with it.
