More than 2 Modz

[idconstantine]

Has anyone toyed with allowing more than 2 modz for a vehicle?

Maybe link it to the size of the vehicle like the max number of main weapons is.
Scout and Light only get a max of 2
Medium max 3
Heavy max 4
Assault max 5

Super Heavy vehicles get a +1 to max per vehicle size.

For example, the cost beyond the base 2 modz could be +1 for the third perk/mod, +2 for the fourth, +3 for the fifth, +4 for the sixth? This additional cost being added to the cost of the selected perk/mod. So a Super Heavy Assault Vehicle with 6 modz would cost an additional +10 to have six modz in addition to the modz costs.

*Edit after actually paying attention to what happens in Barracks *
I must have missed it in the rules, but in Barracks I see that the second mod is +5. So maybe all additional modz past the 1st are at +5 each? Or 3rd is +10, 4th +15, 5th +20 etc?

Adding a cumulative +5 cost would definitely make it very expensive, but easy to work out.

If I was going to increase the number of modz available to vehicles. Even Using the Cumulative +5 Points for every mod After the First. I think the following list better maintains the Games Balance Keeping all Unit Types Viable.


Number of Modz Available Based on Vehicle Size.

Scout, Light & Medium Vehicle may have up to 2 Modz

Heavy & Assault Vehicle may have up to 3 Modz

(Option #1 Super Heavy Vehicle All)

Super Heavy Vehicle may have up to 4 Modz

(Or Option #2 Super Heavy Vehicle By Class)

Super Heavy Vehicle Scout & Light Classes may have up to 3 Modz

Super Heavy Vehicle Medium & Heavy Classes may have up to 4 Modz

Super Heavy Vehicle Assault Class may have up to 5 Modz


The reason I set the List up as Above is I think Medium Vehicles Should Be By the book as they are the average ( Middle weight classes Available for Vehicles). I prefer Option #1 for Super Heavy Vehicles but I put Option #2 in to give some variations for Super Heavy Vehicle based on their weight Classes. As anything above 3 Modz for the Largest Standard Vehicles & 4 or Possibly 5 Modz for Super Heavy Vehicles could seriously unbalance the game.

Sounds like a fair update to me.
