Engineers Special effects lost on reupgrade

[Temple604]

Got lucky with a torpedo upgrade at lvl 1 and got the penetrator special effect.
Tried rolling again to improve the stats on it but found out I will lose the special effect if it is modified again.
So if you are lucky enough to get a special effect you can basically never touch the weapon again.
Not liking this at all

Already going to be addressed. They are going to add in mechanics to help with stuff like this. Soon (TM)

I've not done a mod in live yet, just beta. But I think that is working as designed. Every re-role starts from scratch, you can't cherry pick the bits you want to keep and then roll the rest. That really would be like a 'fruit machine'.
