Post Drone Modification Skill
So I was thinking about a new skill, Drone Modification. It would be like any other, able to level from 0-21, and it would basically be about modifying drones.

Basically, it would allow you to slightly change the drones you have. For example, if your Drone Modification level was at 20, and you had, say, Titan drones, you could destroy another T20 drone, for example Armada Charge drones, and salvage the shield transference, and you would be able to apply that to the titan drone, but it would have the effect of reduced stats to make it a bit more balance.

Obviously it would be very expensive to make it balanced, and more or less allows you to put parts of other drones onto drones you already have. So when you salvage parts from a drone, it will destroy the drone, and salvage something random from it (could even be shields, energy, as new shield for BFDs would be great) and it is placed in your inventory as a commodity. You then proceed to use an item called Drone Modifier, which allows you to choose what parts to add to what drone, but they have to be of the same tech (no adding the shield transference from an armada drone onto a lower tech drone) and it would have a fee to do that.

So a rich player could have a hybrid drone with different equipment on it, such as BFD drone with shield of a titan drone. There would be a restriction that allows you to only add one extra modification onto a drone, so if you had the choice between energy, shield or weapon to add to your drone, you could only pick one.

Good idea, sound overpowered or whatever?

Or just have more drones for players to mix-match setups and designs.

What ever happened to Astral Injection? If this idea were good, you could honestly just use that skill and make it somehow work with temporary drones.

You would be using way to many augs, and most won't be that effective. If you carry a few adonis augs then those go to waste whenever you re-scoop the temporary drone. Not really the solution of choice imo.

I was implying changing the skill to work with temporary drones by way of modifying them permanently. I was not implying it would work the exact same as it does with perm drones, that would be stupid.

This isn't how equipment lists on drones work.

We already have drone controllers as a replacement for astral injection which is good cuz no one used astral injection on temporaries
