A module that makes the TAG laser invisible.

This way scouts can use it without giving away their position.

What's everyone else's secret dream modules?

A revamp of the module slot system so that they were divided up by role (recon/assault/sniper/support/etc) rather than having dedicated slots for blatantly obvious money sinks.

Anti-nascar module

One that freezes all players who are 1000 meters away from their assaults in the first 20 seconds of the game in their tracks, and makes them rethink their strategy.

Wouldn't that module auto-activate on Alpine when everybody spawns?

I thought that's what the Enhanced Narc module does.

Oh...looks like I forgotted. Gonna remove that from my list.

FupDup I think you've thought about this question before

The ability to track multiple doritos at once is awesome.

There was a time around 2 years ago, maybe a less, right after Seismic came out I was preaching the word of Seismic, and was suggesting this as a soft counter to it (this was back when Seismic worked while moving, so)

Soy said:

Lightstep module would be the best thing you could do to control Seismic.

Guy using Seismic wastes a slot, how many Lightsteps do you need, how many Seismics will they carry, etc. Just like ECM and whatnot, it's another layer of info warfare that can be self contained in risk vs reward and the potential variety of other decent modules people have to consider, etc...

I still think it's a decent idea

Consumable jumpjet module for mid air recharge.

Tag range.(love the invisible tag idea)
Lrm lock time increase
Targeting speed increase
Bap range extender
Heat generation reduction
JJ doublers (time or height)
"Basic" skill multipliers (cool run, twist X, Anchor Turn for example)
Speed tweak doubler.
Old "blue man" thermals
Low light or thermal range extenders (1000m or even 1500m)

These would be REALLY fun to have and one extra mech/weapon slot. For every mech in the game.

TAG laser should be visible only in Heat Vision mode by default. It is an INFRARED LASER.

Target Acquisition Gear (TAG) is an advanced targeting device for use by artillery spotters. The TAG unit works by firing an infrared laser beam to designate the target and transmits that data via a tight-beam laser communication system to the guidance systems of friendly "smart" bombs and missiles.

This way the spotters and TAG equipped LRM boats do not have to sit there like a large red bulls-eye while waiting for the missiles to lock. To counter TAG invisibility, just press "H".

LB-AC Slug module - fixes the issue with LB-ACs only being able to fire clusters, as equipping the module converts all your shots with it to slug mode. Still no ammo toggle, but it's a stop-game module to fix a hole in the weapon roster. Plus, PGI can then convert all cACs to cLB-ACs.

Multi-Tracking module - lets you target up to 2 (Advanced bumps this up to 3) enemies simultaneously, with destroyed targets automatically becoming unselected, and when you target a fourth enemy, the first one you targeted gets replaced (so you keep the most recent living targets, essentially).

High-Step module - lets you step up terrain and obstacles that are lower than your mech's knee, so no more getting stuck in the Canyon Network river in your Atlas, and no more stumbling like a drunken sailor up the steps in Viridian Bog in your King Crab. It'd do nothing for proper slopes (that's Hill Climb's job), just get you over things that your mech really should be able to step over.

Thunder Munitions Strike - off-map deployed anti-mech mines. The strike deploys 6 mines in a 15m radius of your aim point. Each mine has a 5m fuse radius and a 10m blast radius. They only trigger on mechs over 50 tons (so 55+), and can be shot to detonate prematurely. They have an IFF, so only enemy mechs will trigger them. Priority (MC) and Improved (c-bills) upgrades will increase it to 10 mines. Damage and fire delay are the same as arty and air.

Advanced Sensor range should increase ECM bubble.

[luxebo]

On a serious note though, wouldn't melee/collision damage increase towards red IFF opponents be cool? Like if you run out of weapons but can slowly do damage by ramming?
