I think we should make more different classes of slots.
There is a weapon slot or equipment only for morph 2 or 3 just available, but I think we should add 2 slots to morph level 1.
So the player can better decide about energy cells and nanolathes for example - use one of both !!!
But only the Support Commander should be able to equip 2 energy cells at morph 1.
A Support Commander should have a higher speed, so I would spend it the ability to get up to 2 Nanolathes without the need of any equipmend - unlocked by one or two not equiped Nanolathes.
It's also annoying that 2 additional energy cells would cost 400 for morph and 250 for each cell - toghether 900 metal !!!
That is nearly one fusion with a 3 times higher ressource output.
More than one energy cell without a different morph modell like additional slots for 10 metal each are useless.
For the battle Commander there can be the same with 3 DamageBooster instead of 2 Nanolathes.
AdvancedTargetingSystems for the Strike Commander or HighPowerServos for the Recon Commander.
If i can make this system it would be like this one:
2 + 3 level slots for Damage, Speed, Range or BuildPower:
- different types for the different Coms - for 200 each
- Nanolathes, High Power Servos, Advanced Targeting System, Damage Booster
- level 1: cassie type + low HP
- level 2: costum slot + low HP
- level 3: cassie type + low HP
- level 4: costum slot + low HP
- level 5: cassie type + low HP
Weapon slots ( 4 additional levels in a parallel morph path ):
- level 1: the weak bandit gun
- level 2: the first weapon
- level 3: the second weapon
- level 3 and 4: Shock Riffle Conversion, Plasma Artillerie Conversion, Disruptor Beam Conversion
- there can be different morph pathes ( categorie: buildmenu -> morph -> weapons ) for arti weapons and else if created by player.
2 Combat slots
- Napalm Warhead, High Calliber Barrel, Autoflechette, High Frequency Beam, Disruptor Ammo, Plasma Containment Field
2 Support slots:
- Energy Cells, Lazarus Device, Field Radar Module, Radar Jammer, Cloacking Field
2 Personal slots:
- Ablative Armor Plates, High Density Plating, Personal Shield / Cloack, Auto Repair System
summary: 2 costum cassie + 2 weapon + 2 weapon conversions + 2 combat + 2 support + 2 Personal
total: 2 weapon + 10 item slots ( 2 slots more if you use weapon conversions )
