So I was just thinking "There's not enough to do right now among those of you at Frontier Developments", and I've come up with a great idea to fill time: hardpoint modules that aren't really weapons.
Examples:
1. Something that leaves a trail of smoke, a colored trail, maybe that glows in a pretty way, although I already have engine effects that kind of do that. This item is included for completeness.
2. Something that might be useful for ground support stuff - maybe something that drops a supply pack ( for my add-on suggestion of giant FPS battleground maps )
2. Something that might be useful for station-centric coordinated space battle support stuff, beyond beam weapon support modifications.
3. Something that has some kind of targeting function or scanner function, maybe a pod that can scan individuals at a settlement from afar, or do other targeting pod type stuff.
4. Many things, even existing things, than can be painted and customized - and also more of the awesome styling of the 2D and 4D Manticore Cannons, which are boss and excellent imo.
This would be especially fun on Eagles or Imperial Eagles - for when us Eagle types get tired of the cute and endearing pew-pew against the likes of large, shield-tanked vessels. Oh, speaking of that it would be really nice to be able to outfit my Eagle(s) to big game hunt - i.e. ship killer weapons that are less universal but more functional than torpedos. I want that Corvette to panic when it sees me instead of attempting to smear me across it's front landing gear hatch, and that would be really great
