Ship Builds & Load Outs Retrofitting and Outiffting suggestions - Multiple small modules in bigger slots

[Ben Ryder]

I'd like use o be able to put multiple small modules in bigger slots.

For instance being able to put all the scanners in a medium size internal slot or something like a small shield cell in a lost with a small shield generator.

That would defeat the purpose of slot sizes imo, not a very sensible suggestion but that's my opinion.

Why not? it'd make some of the smaller ships more versatile say for mining where a slot's needed for the refinery and now there's one for drones, that could mean a Cobra would be required to accommodate the additional modules, as long as it doesn't cause gameplay balancing issues where's the harm?

I see your point.

One of the upsides and I think its a big one is that it would allow the developers to create a lot more small modules and allow fro more variety.

Theoretically, it could be done with a 2 class down rule, ex. a class 3 hardpoint can have two class 1 weapons, which would not be as good as a single class 3 weapon of the same type. Though people would use this to say, have more railguns or multicannons, which are not avaliable for class 3/4 hardpoints and thus this would cause notable balance issues.
