Scope Engineering Overhaul

[NUSQUAM]

I have two points and a suggestion:

1. The "Scope" attachment does not add a scope to weapons, it add a small optic/reflex/holographic housing/case to an already existing holographic free floating sight. It does slightly enhance zoom in all cases. In the case of the Intimidator it reduces spread... somehow

On my Laser Pistol.
Its mostly just Cosmetic, i doubt that this level of Zoom changes the Gunplay at all.
The Rifle is Unmodded for comparison. The Scope-Engineering supposedly just enhances the Zoom Level there, not replace it with a Sniper-Scope. So it would stay just like it is now, just a bit further in.

But maybe someday. Its one of my planned Mods.
My Plan is:

• Greater Range (Currently useless, hopefully it receives a Patch to increase Speed too)
• Audio Masking
• Noise Suppressor
• If Overshield Damage is fixed: Scope
• If not: Magazine Size

Found an AR-50 with a scope. Looks like this.

2. Note the optic on the AR-50, it is a Kinematic Brand Optic; it doesn't make sense that you have to go through multiple underground engineers, loot propriety materials, to find the one person in the whole galaxy that can attach a permanent manufacturer attachment on a weapon. Look at the pistol, it just adds a frame to it that should already be present. Audio masking is the perfect example of a mod that makes sense, for comparison. That is a very exotic and non-standard modification. Adding a box or bars does not make sense to be a mod.

What is suggest for the mod is to rename it Cycling Upgrade, a mod that behaves differently depending on weapon:

• For the Intimidator reduced spread is excellent. 10/10
• For other plasma/kinetic weapons it can greatly increase their muzzle velocity.
  • Unless Greater Range is supposed to do this and is currently bugged; in that case increase the rate of fire for projectile weapons
• For lasers, add a small amount of phasing to it. Suits resist it a lot but a tiny bit of phasing would go a long way as you ping their shields. Or just increase rate of fire

As for the visual assets, make them part of weapon customization and unlock them at certain grades since Pioneer are the one that upgrade it makes sense they have access to manufacturer attachments. You can also add things like barrel attachments, different sight pictures, etc into the pool of visuals.
