hello everyone,
i was thinking what would be an interesting addition to the game,
this was my bad idea,

the Modular Conversion Capacitor,
this Equipment would Convert a single weapon hard-point into another,
allowing for more customized builds, however to balance this new equipment,
the Modular Conversion Capacitor would have a certain weight and Critical space,

there would be 6 versions of this Equipment,
Modular Conversion Capacitor(E-B )
Modular Conversion Capacitor(E-M )

Modular Conversion Capacitor(B-E )
Modular Conversion Capacitor(B-M )

Modular Conversion Capacitor(M-E )
Modular Conversion Capacitor(M-B )
first letter of what it replaces, the second what replaces it,

i under stand how this could be considered highly overpowered,
so on the First Poll Question please tell my why you voted the way you voted,
and no matter how you voted in the first question, please vote on the second,
the second being how heavy and how much space it would take up,

this Equipment would be only available to non-Omni-Mechs
thank you, and happy hunting Pilots,

PS- @9erRed, Keeper of the Lore,
could you comment if there is any Canon occurrence of this? thank you

Edit- versions of Equipment,

The maybe has to do with the mech models themselves. The main problem with this idea is that most mechs will not be able to display the weapon change correctly until the design developers have the time to go over every hard point on every mech and add a weapon model for each weapon in the game. I don't really see it happening, would personally like them to get there ass's in gear and finish updating all the old models and then go back to focusing on pumping out new models.

No, because Battlemechs aren't supposed to be able to do this. Changing hardpoints is something for Omnimechs to do.
