So I saw that CCP is going to have attachments and subsystems for weapons in the future.
I was making myself some Cruise missiles in EVE Online using a BPO and thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool to customize BPO's to have pre-installed modules?", and I thought of it in the context of Dust and I got this idea.
You will be able to create Blueprints of a weapon that comes pre-installed with customization of your choise.
That means mass producing weaponry for a battle without having to customize each and every one.
Instead they come pre-installed with the customization (even paintjobs if CCP ever adds them) which allows you to mass produce weaponry quickly.
Also, what is installed on the weapon will be kept a secret on the pre-installed units, so if a corp has a special fitting that works really well and they want to keep it to themselves, they can minimize leaks because you can't see what has been added on the weapon. (except for obvious things like scopes)
Also if CCP adds CUSTOM paintjobs then a corp can mass produce a weapon with the unique paint job. (Which can lead to interesting things like famous people in the game selling a special edition weapon created by them)
Also, you will be able to name the item created by that blueprint so for example, my EVE and Dust corp is Systems Federation.
So I will name my weapon "Barov-12 SFGF Standard Issue."
Barov - Random name
12 - Year 2012
SFGF - Systems Federation Ground Forces
Standard Issue - Standard Issue
And each weapon created by that blueprint will be named like that.
You will have two choises.
Either have the weapon and customization, research it and get a BPC while still keeping the weapon and customization.
OR you can research it and have a 20% chanse of success to get a BPO, the weapon is destroyed no matter if you succeed or not but if it fails you don't get a BPO.
If you succeed at making a BPO, you can research it lowering the cost to make the weapons, hence being the best deal in the long run even if you waste 10 Prototype weapons just to get the blueprint.
The BPO/BPC will require EVE minerals to create them, just like any other ship or module do, but the more you customized the weapon and the more pricy it is the higher the mineral need. |

I don't see why not. Maybe. Might be a market nightmare, but who knows?
CCP could possibly get rid of all the unique modules and just replace them with the ability to customize standard ones.
For example, a Sniper Rifle could be fitted with a Charge Capacitor to become a Charge Sniper Rifle. |

Eh, they won't be sold on the market.
Only standard and pre-made (like the charge sniper rifle) weapons will be sold on the market.
Everything else goes to contracts. |

I added another bit to the idea.
Tell me if you like it :)

I wouldn't mind naming my customized weapons, even if they aren't created by blueprint. Two items of the same customization could be stacked, but only if one of them was renamed or they shared the same name already. I wouldn't mind that at all, so long as kill reports still show the normal weapon name. |

Yeah, the only way to see it is in kill reports (If CCP implements those hehe) |
