    We currenly have some 2 slot weapons/gear, but how about introducing 3 slot weapons/gear for even more diversity of strategies?

    In terms of being able to use them, because of the current slot allocations, a 3 slot red would favour shooters, a 3 slot yellow would favour enforcers, a 3 slot green would (obviously) favour fixers, and a 3 slot blue would favour defenders (and potentially be a way to buff the defender). Sorry speeders.

    However some ships may choose to run a 3 slot item by sacrificing the numbers of weapons/items that they use (like an enforcer may choose to run only two weapons when they run a big torp and cannon for example).

    Yeah it may be nice one. I also saw many mk5 speeder using 4 weapons... But I have one doubt. What about the power of these weapons. If they are not powerful they may be ignored from use and most of the players didn't want to sacrifice their slots... Also if they are overpowerful then lighter ships found it somewhat difficult when they are hit by them. So....

    A 3 slot red might be quite good for Speeder, since it has 3 slots, but they’re hard to fill without using EC (which is not as good as Blast) or Big Torp, which is very high risk.

    Game has a hard enough time balancing 1 and 2 point weapons. last thing I want is a 3 point 4k damage weapon that is one hit one kill. Would have to be done very carefully.

    I would like to see grey gear, say 1, 2, 3, and 4 point. If you under equip the remaining points can be used for a grey slot. This gear would be a modifier to your ship. The more free points you give up the more underpowered you are, and the more a grey gear could help you with. Gear can be like "improve cooldown by x%" or "heal boost" or "+ x% hp" and on and on. Ideas are limitless.

    grey/orange slots can only fit red and yellow slots.
