Vehicle Mods

[Seadee 107]

So to rope you into a greater discussion than just car re balance 

I'd also like to ask about vehicle mods.

They didn't seem to get the same loving attention that weapon mods got/get.

I put to you that it would be more interesting if vehicle mods directly effected the cars performance and stats.

Increase armour - increases weight, reduced acceleration and effects handling
Increase engine Power - Increases acceleration, top speed and effects handling
Sharpen Steering - Increases Handling, might have adverse effects when travelling at high/low speeds 
etc

by allowing the players to throw mods in that change the stats, things like Health, Top Speed, Ramming Damage, Transport Space would be effected as a by product, this all depends on the idea that those things are all linked in some clever system, if its all just numbers in a table with no correlation then it becomes more difficult to just adjust these things with mods.

That increases the ramming damage... and reduces the breaks, but directly, not in response to the change of weight that adding ramming plates has had.

i would say it doesnt matter, but to some it does, so for the sake of argument they follow the same pattern.

Armour/Weight = Green
Active Ability = Orange
Stability/Power = Red
Endurance = Purple
Passive = Blue
 

something like that..

because you wouldnt put a mod on that took armour away, then add one that added it back right? 

Alternatively, there are no colours and you just adjust the stats directly, each car type allows a certain max and min adjustment, but you cant set all to max and all to min, you've got to make sacrifices when you adjust the sliders.
