With the increase in number of characters we will require more mods which will require more inventory space for our mods. Farming mods is a never ending task but every time I do they start going to my inbox now. I also can’t use mod loadouts because the unequipped mods have nowhere to go. Lack of mod inventory is interfering with doing other functions in the game and needs immediate attention. If we had an inventory counter (# of mods/max # of mods) it would ease the issue a little but the solution is larger inventory. Eventually our mods will become permanent fixtures if we continue to get new characters without a larger inventory.

You just don't need that many spare mods, it doesn't count the ones you have applied, so there's no reason for you to have hundreds left over (the limit is apparently 1000). If they aren't any good, sell them, if they are, apply them.

Can’t farm too many mods....I agree with @TVF there. You do have to stop farming at some point though so you can slice the ones with potential. If you’re sitting on 500 in mod inventory that you feel have potential but are trying to farm more instead of farming slicing material then you are doing things wrong. Step 1: Farm modsStep 2: Sell the useless ones. (Less than 5 dot, Right side mods with defense primaries, etc.)Step 3: Level mods to see secondaries.Step 4: Sell the ones that don’t hit speed. Step 5: Slice modsStep 6: Sell the ones that don’t hit speed.Rinse and repeat.

Shots fired lol. Very subtle though, I gotta hand it to you for that.I believe many people will read your advice the way I interpreted it and if they do it is bad advice. And you put a TL;DR in which highlighted it.

More mod inventory space required

Funny, I'd say the exact opposite. Telling someone it is impossible to farm too many mods is saying: you never have to stop farming mods for anything.

No, sometimes you have to stop farming mods and tend to them.

Hence why I said you can farm too many mods. Didn't want to leave room for them to be confused.

As far as step by step. I posted one of those that turned into this. So taking things in context, my statement was perfectly clear. But if you want to take it as a standalone statement, I believe it would be better not to have people thinking there was no point to ever stopping farming mods.

So between the 2 standalone statements:
You can never farm too many mods
You can farm too many mods.

I will pick the 2nd one every day as I believe it is less harmful to ignorant people.

I agree with the others here. You can't just ask for an increase in space so you can hoard even more things that you will never use. At some point, you have to assess your mods and sell the ones that aren't good. It's a time consuming process, but it clears your inventory and makes it much more efficient when it's time to actually equip ones that are sitting around. If they just keep giving your more space, you'll end up in a situation like with Bethesda games like Skyrim and Fallout where your inventory is maxed but most of it is stuff like brooms and silverware that you've just held on to for no reason except the fact that you haven't made it to a vendor to sell them off.

Equip more mods is unfortunately the answer. @Bully

What are you fearful of a GP hit for?

GAC?
Since GAC matchmaking only counts your top X toons, which is the minimum number of toons needed to fill a full 5 man defense and make a single 5 man attack against each enemy - you are modding these top X toons, yes? If not, you are not using your mods correctly. Any other GP growth you have from mods is irrelevant to the GAC matchmaking. (If you have characters in your top X even without mods, you might be able to lower your matchmaking GP by 5-10k at best, insignificant in the overall matching).

TB?
Shouldn't you want as a high a GP as possible so your guild is getting as many stars as possible?

TW?
There may be some argument here if your guild is currently at the top of their bracket and doesn't want to move into the next bracket yet. But even if all the guild members remove mods from half their roster you're looking at a difference in GP of several million is all. Really not enough to worry about.

GP on your scrub toons doesn't matter.

See I'm wondering why everyone says this is the case. I have never seen a dev post to clarify it. GA says it is based on maximum number of squads allowed to be deployed.

Defense has a maximum number of squads, Offense does not. You could deploy a good chunk of your roster on offense or none at all.

To me the description sounds like it only takes account the number of characters needed to set a full defense since only defense has a "maximum number of squads".

Yet most people double that number inexplicably.

Is there a source on this somewhere I missed?

as far as i know they never specified how many toons, but i do believe they said it's based on the amount of def slots, not on how many squads allowed to be deployed.
Doubling seems the most obvious and the numbers work out from what i've seen, atleast they did with squad only.

See this is the only thing I've ever seen that says anything about matchmaking and it's in GA:

All it mentions is the number of squads you are allowed to deploy and you are only allowed a certain number of squads on defense.

I don't know, I believe it only uses what you deploy on defense and everyone is overthinking this and will continue to do so until I see a source that contradicts that.

Did you run the numbers during the squad only GACs, or are you just basing your opinion on the wording?
To me only using the top (def slots * 5) for matchmaking seems unlikely for a couple of reasons.

You're using atleast double the toons if you clear your opponents defence.
Only using the top40 would leaves too much room for mismatches.
The reason for the change is matchmaking was to decrease the influence "fluff" GP on matchmaking. Only using the top40 for matchmaking takes more than just the fluff out of the equation.
The numbers work out with top (def slots * 5 * 2).

With fleet included it's anyone's guess how that works. Thusfar i seem to be less closely matched than with squad only, but maybe relic progresssion is to blame for that. Fortunately for me it's usually in my favour.
