Multi-Modules Racks

Hi,

I hate wasting space in my optional modules slots by fitting a class 1 discovery scanner in a class 2 slot or a class 2 SRV hangar in a class 3 slot.
I'd really like to be able to fit an Advanced Discovery Scanner + a Surface Scanner in a Class 2 slot, or a Class 1 FSD Interdictor + a Docking Computer + a Limpet Controller in a Class 3 slot...

My suggestion is to add Modules Racks that allow the fitting of multiple small modules in a single larger slot.
Of course it must have some limitations to avoid abusive overpowered builds :
- Module Racks should be limited to class 2 and 3
- Module Racks should have a base weight of 4T for class 2 and 8T for class 3 for example
- Class 2 Module Racks can be fitted with 2x Class 1 modules
- Class 3 Module Racks can be fitted with 3x Class 1 modules or 1x Class 1 + x1 Class 2 modules
- Military modules must not be allowed inside Module Racks, Hull Reinforcements, Module Reinforcements and Shield Cell Banks
- Guardian modules must not be allowed either

Think about this...

Thanks.

I agree that this would be great for making your ship really your own. and make having a fuel scoop as an emergency only thing possible, plus a discovery scanner, and some small cargo space. It would make the corvette feel more like a military ship, with scanners, a bit of cargo space, and even an emergency fuel scoop without sacrificing a ton of armor. It gives the sense that the ship is infinitely modifiable like a raw 52 module tokens, but retains the module size cap, so you can't have class 20 shields XD.

I never use the Docking Computer, it was just an example. This module should be added to all ships by default anyway, with an option to enable/disable it in the right panel last tab. Our ships can land automatically on 9G planets but need a module to dock to station ? Ridiculous...

No, I have an Asp with 2 class 3 slots and 1 class 2 slot clearly under-exploited, it's a waste of space.
And others ship that can benefit from module racks, most combat ships have a class 2 last slot and a 2A FSD interdictor is useless, the 1A do the job and we could add something else more useful, like a corrosion resistant cargo rack...

I agree that we need module racks for appropriate modules.

FDev is on this. They already said they wanted to do this for limpet controllers and, if I am not mistaken, scanners too.
