While the new engineering system in beta 3.0 makes more sense than the current one it doesn't favor a player with loads of ships that they might want to get upgraded or if they have a set of weapons that want to apply mods to.
What would be nice would being able to select all your weapons ( most likely the same type ie pulse, beam, missiles ) as a group and apply the upgrade roll to them all in one go.
This could be with a possible discount for doing more than two on adding special effects
IE one = zero discount
two = zero discount
three = ten percent
four = fifteen percent
more than four = twenty percent
As you would be doing what is more than one roll each time this would level up the parts and your reputation with the engineers quicker, and it might be possible to include a discount on the materials needed to perform the upgrades by doing them in bulk.
But would it would give the player the option to have matched weapons with the same damage output etc, and would be a time saver.
