I think almost everything in game should have some sort of mod attached to it.

I love games such as Diablo and Borderlands that have an almost infinite amount of weapons. Granted, there is you standard weapon and then you attach any sort of mods to it.

I think this could help the monotony of getting the same thing over and over and allow admins to attach unique mods.

Some new mods you could add would be:
Increase the radius you scoop - Allow people to scoop up items within a 100 radius circle
Other ideas are welcome.

Balance the game around the most common chance item/mod combo and allow people who want to work to find the ideal combo for their ship.

I would like there to be a nice big set of mini mods (less powerful than the ones we get randomly... +10% DPS is a lot). You could add these (probably with a random element) to your gear, possibly causing the gear to become NB as well but perhaps not. Since you mention Diablo, I'm thinking along the lines of Jewels whose magical properties were not as strong as normal ones but could still be useful additions.
