Currently we have 3 types of Biotics modules:
Cardiac Regulators (increase stamina and stamina regen)
Myofibril Stimulants (increase melee damage)
Kinetic Catalyzers (Increase sprint speed)
For obvious reasons, there is no way to increase base movement speed/strafe speed (we don't want insane strafing heavies...much less scouts or assaults for that matter)
But while I was looking through my assets I came across a module we were given back a while ago from an event or a daily login bonus reward or something.
It's called the HEP Metabolic Enhancer. It increases sprint speed and melee damage by the same amounts of their standard modules, but combined into one module that costs 1 more pg than a sprint mod. It's also a low slot module that looks like a kin cat, whereas the melee mod is a high slot module...
So it's currently the best way to max out your melee by stacking all melee mods in the highs and HEPs in the lows (I was able to get 630 damage with almost 7 m/s sprint on a minmatar commando)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
But anyways that's not the point.
The point here is that CCP has created a module that combines two modules, and didn't have to update the game to do so. It's hotfixable, basically just assigning new values to single module.
The other point is that melee mods and stamina mods go together. While yes they are two different slot modules, the real question comes down to whether you want the module to be blue or green. Seeing as how the HEP decided to stay a low slot mod despite the melee damage increase, I think we can all agree that it should be a low slot module...but please speak up if you would rather have it be in the high slots.
We can even call it a "Metabolic Enhancer" because that name is already in the game, and I think it sounds cool. I'm okay with keeping Myofibril Stimulants as well.
All we do is combine the two modules.
Basic Meta: 50% stamina recovery, 25% stamina, 15% melee
Advanced ("enhanced enhancer sounds weird") Meta: 80% recovery, 50% stamina, 25% melee
Complex Meta: 100% stamina recovery, 100% stamina, 50% melee
________________________________________________________________________________
These modules are BEGGING to be combined
When you melee, you use stamina. Being able to recover that stamina to melee again is even more important. Most melee fits require the use of stamina mods already, so it's kind of an obvious thing to do at this point.
Besides, no one uses these modules, and it would be a great way to increase their effectiveness and popularity.
The only issue is the Skillbook...and what to do about people who might have skilled into one module and not the other.
But then again, those who have skilled into these modules are very few people indeed.
