I see no reason why the Vehicles could not have a powercore, as they have already undergone sloticide as you pointed out.

I have a question? Why dose a missile tank have more then 6 shoots if it has 6 barrels then it should shoot 6 missiles. For many reasons one it can shoot like 12 before reloading so where is it keeping the ammo, two it being full auto pluses a damage mod kills every thing. My proto shield tank with more then 4000 shields and a shield hardener was killed by a basic missile tank with a proto damage mod. I only know this because i asked the guy/girl after some angry words where exchanged lol. Back to my point my tank was killed with in a few seconds of engaging his/her madruger and i shoot him/her first with a adv rail. Just wondering if you are going to put it back into volleys so its more fair nested of a full auto harbinger of death. Ps i know this is a syfy game and any thing is possible i just think it would be more fair is all, mainly because it took me and my friend in gun-logys i had a adv rail and he had a proto and the mudruger with a proto missile still got my shilds even with a hardener on from over 4000 down to just about 300 shields before he/she died (Ps this was a different battle) my point is that it's supper op the way it is now that's all. So some info on what you plan to do with it or any havs drop ships or lav or there weapons would be nice. Ty for your time

Well, considering the Power Cores concept CCP Rattati was studying may become real, i have some doubts if this could be used as base to expand the game in some ways...

Is possible to apply this Power Core concept to Vehicles, Weapons and Equipment?
Considering that LAVs and HAVs are already made with the same Slots and everything, changing just the CPU/PG, they are the easiest option to update to this concept, right?

Regarding Weapons and Equipment, if they are not already made using a concept like this, would be possible to change to this concept? If change, would be possible to have enough free space (with the changes in Dropsuits) to all Weapons and Equipment be editable, as we have now for Vehicles and Dropsuit?

As example, I'm pretty sure that all the rifles "have" a scope attached, even if it's not used (case of the Assault Rifle "family", all have a scope, but just the Burst and Tactical use it), maybe a module to activate it, changing the zoom? a core to say how the weapon will behave? Also, if i remember correctly, someone already made this suggestion (to apply just modules that would activate or change values, not changing the 3D model itself) and someone from CCP said that this could be done. Any chance to this concept help to develop this?

This could be expanded to have modular enhancements to the equipments, for example a module to apply more nanites to a nanohive or more clones to a drop uplink without using more space?

Using the model we have now (H and L slots, CPU/PG) would be possible to change in such a way that the mods would use the Weapon/Equipment's CPU/PG (if needed), instead of using the Dropsuit's CPU/PG?

utilizing the power core system combined with SKINs could only bring more benefit to the game in terms of resource management. There is no reason whatsoever why it should not be applied.

Weapons can be accomplished by adding a weapon SKIN slot to the dropsuits and then pointing all identically scripted variants to the same rendered model.

The only equipment not using a generic, universal model/SKIN is the templar uplink if I recall correctly.

Weapon modification not being a thing may be related to the resource problem cores are meant to address.

Weapon/equipment PG/CPU is a COST taken away from the dropsuit, not additional resources provided. there should never be a way to expand dropsuit resources via adding items other than PG/CPU mods.
