Low slot does seem like a natural choice, I just posted for the grenade to offer variety and also because I've never seen this particular suggestion before.

Eh, no, zero fitting is a *bad* idea for this slot.
Zero fitting is okay on highs/lows/eq slots, because you need them for better things. In those, occupying a slot is already a price, as seen in PG/CPU extender modules.
But if you make the ammo module a free grenade module, you could just as well make it a replaceable BPO that is equipped on all dropsuits by default.
There's literally no reason not to get one when you don't want a grenade/don't have the PG/CPU for a grenade.

But I do like the idea of having alternative modules for the grenade slot. That would play heavily into the aspect of player choice and customization, as it would grant the ability to install a passive module into a normally active slot. It could have very personal effects, like extended ammunition reserves. (Another idea might be a module that increases the sound of enemy footsteps and only footsteps or a flat zoom increase on all weapons)
And consider that grenades are a very useful slot, to the point of being considered a dealbreaker on the Commando by some.

Logically it should probably be equipment but It kind of makes sense to go in the grenade slot too, if you've got some kind of compartment to put grenades in/on your suit why not just stuff some ammo instead?. Plus if it's in the grenade slot all suits could use it for a pretty hefty trade off. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Wait just for ammo item, wait if you want +20ammo units it is not bad idea. Bud only for small amount of ammo, nothing else. Something like emergency store/iron ration.

If you're really going to match the vehicle model, it would be a lot slot item and not require any resources.

Even so they feels kinda....weird, putting it in the grenade slot like that. Dont get the wrong the idea of an ammo cache seems valid enough, Im just not sure I'm a fan of putting it in the grenade slot.

The only bit that makes me is that we have SO many low slot modules as it and not enough highs...but this particular module doesn't make sense for a High slot either Well even so not a bad idea in general. +1 "That little s**t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati, Biomassed Episode 032 Dust514 // Podcast www.biomassed.net

I've gotta agree with Sole and say no to 0 fitting, *HOWEVER* I do think they should be fairly low, an extra clip or two and freeing up a bit of CPU/PG that may allow you to fit A better mod seems a decent tradeoff. Granted this is also just my own opinion, I use my fluxes all the time. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
