Just a random idea I just had.
Currently, in order to get a special effect on a weapon, you must chose a primary mod to apply to it.
But, what if you like the weapon how it is at stock?
There a few weapons that have mods I simply do not like, and don't want to apply.
My suggestion is for every weapon, have a level 1 'upgrade', that costs around the same as a level 3 upgrade. (2-3 materials, 1 commodity).
Which does nothing, all stat rolls range from 0 to 0 range, no secondary effects.
But, you can get a special effect.
Of course, the stats from the special will effect the weapon, but, basically it's still just a stock weapon with a special effect.
The costs would need balancing of course.
And you may still end up with nothing, or need to use rep to buy the special effect you wanted.
Thoughts?
I didn't put much in to this, just randomly popped in my head while I was in the shower of all things. Lol
