I'm a big fan of SWGOH.GG modding- however, it does require a lot of work to go back and forth from the game to the website to track and manage fine tuned modding.

while were at it, reduce the cost to remove a mod

Mod Management MUST Now Be Improved!

Love or hate the new AAT raid, one thing is for sure - it requires deep rosters, particularly Heroic.

Each player in a Heroic raid needs around 6 teams to do their fair share (2% overall) of the damage, no individuals can carry the guild as they did with the Rancor.

6 teams of 5 = 30 characters with 6 mods each = 180 mods!

Even if you're fortunate enough to have 30 of the RIGHT characters for a Heroic AAT raid, it's almost guaranteed that you don't have 180 perfect mods that you can kit everyone out with, no changes required. What this means is that virtually everyone is having to move mods around each raid, each phase, maybe even each battle.

Mod management in-game is not fit for this purpose. There's no other way to put it. This has to change, the one thing worse than waiting 2 hours for a gun turret to rotate is unslotting mods individually and then sorting through the mess for the ones you want to re-assign.

Here are some changes that would help. Theses are not "nice to haves", they are REQUIRED if we are to raid like this for the next 6+ months:

A button at character level to "unslot all mods"
A button at ROSTER level to "unslot all mods"
When you click on a character's mod slot, the ability to see ALL mods for that slot, assigned or not, and who they are assigned to if relevant
The ability to slot a mod assigned to another character without having to unslot it first, just like slotting any other mod, simply add on the credit cost to make it viable
The ability to filter mods by secondaries, i.e. a multiple checkbox dialog to find all mods with "speed" and "critical chance" secondaries

These changes would go a long way to making mod management less painful. But why stop there? Here are some of those "nice to haves" for the icing on the cake:

Especially the ability to have a saved set. Maybe 3 saves slots per toon. That quick change alone would be a great tool to add.

Note: being able to see all mods equipped and not would be great. I don't think it's needed to see who they are on, in that page is necessary. That would make things too hard to view. Just indicate it with a different shading like a red hue over top and let the player press it to see who has it, and back up to the previous view after.

The only down side for players, upside for devs is that it will be easy to spend a lot of coins with this implemented.

+ 1MM to all of this.

Honestly it's a real hassle to move so many mods around and around and it makes me look less forward to the raids than I'd like.

I tried it but it's lacking in a couple big areas at no fault of theirs. It's seems they can only access mods that are assigned to the toon and not the inventory. Their suggestion was to go into the game, equip it to a toon, go back and resynch....for every single mod. That's not the worst part.

Once you cycle through your hundreds of mods and add it to their DB, they have a record of it but it's not synch'd so if you sell one, you have to go and manually delete it. So you are basically manually maintaining two DBs as a player. No thanks. It does allow you to see what is currently equipped which the game does not.

So the best solution is to use it to view currently used mods and use the game to filter unused mods.

So if I need a toons square to have more secondary potency, I can use the game to search unused mods and the website to see if I may want to take it from another toon.

I was just about to post it myself, another great contribution @Palanthian, I totally support it. Perhaps a good addition maybe to be able to select two characters on the same screen and move mods from one to another.
