Unused slot points making your ship more responsive

Has anyone ever brought up the idea that unused slot points will make your ship lighter, faster, and more responsive? With a full load out I am not using two red slot points and one blue slot point. I like to use rudder, lube, and turbo. I never see that on shooters.
Also wondering if we could make a one point weapon reload faster than a two point weapon say like 2/10 of a second?

 

So ur saying that my 2 weap, 2 yellow, 2 blue loadout on mk4 speeder will make me slower?! HECK NO. -1

 

no you will be the same just people with more innovative builds get the abiities

 

Yes. Full ships lose nothing. Like maybe 5-10% improvement per slot.

 

you only get improvement by sacrificing a slot point or slot

 

Flip your statement and see it as a speed boost.

 

That's a max load out

 

Okay, but what the OP is suggesting is if you choose not to use your maximum slot points available, then you could get a bit of a boost. For example, you have 2 weapon slots and 3 slot points. Opposed to using 1 / 2 slot weapons, you may equip 1 / 1 which gives you 1 leftover. As your ship would be considered 'lighter', you could get a boost.

 

Oh. So I have OB/nitro right now, one point leftover. I get bonus?

 

Yes. Full slots but unused points get a boost. I have 4 blue and 8 red. Usually use 6 red and 3 blue. So because my ship is lighter than someone running full points I should have a more responsive ship
