I see where you’re coming from but I think this is a terrible idea. There’s enough complexity in the game already without making it worse. Not to mention it’s already a massive time sink, especially for a ‘casual’ game.
If it was up to me I’d get rid of ships altogether.
Haha I understand that many people do not like ships, but a bit customization should not be that much more time effort. And then Ships would probably get more fun too.
No --- DOING the modding wouldn't be that much time and effort. Farming ship mods and ship mod slicing materials and ship mod upgrade materials etc. etc. would be a lot of time and effort. And, of course, the people who get the best luck with the mod rolls will have a permanent advantage.
Right now you can get lucky or unlucky for a single battle at a time. While you might get the same luck on your next battle, there's a 50% chance you won't.
With ship mods if you get bad luck you're hosed for months - maybe a year or two.
Nope, this has been suggested repeatedly, it's been taken seriously and debated repeatedly, and at the end of all that discussion it's a hard no from me and from many, many players.
