I can tell you for sure that non-ruin items still get theor mods stripped when you buy them from a base. I just sold myself an item that way the other day. It's very handy when you get something like an Ethereal Laser U that would be absolutely worthless with an unremovable mod, but is very handy unmodded.

Make an item that will make items with modifications become unwanted if they fix the issues with selling modificated items through bases?

I have stripped quite a few items during my playing time. Lion Incinerator* Scoped, Crystalline Reserve* Rewired being some of them.

But I really like this idea a lot Jeff. I see some amazing BvB battles come up if Kikale Mzungu Warfare Ruins show up.

Is there any point with removing a mod? If the item is needed for a build or something Im pretty sure it doesnt matter if it's modded or not.

Of course not. But some modifications create more trouble than without them. Like my scoped Lion Incinerator, Lion Incinerators does not get any tracking, so I would end up having to search through 2 weapons instead of 1 if I put it on my Berserker with another unmoded Lion Incinerator.

And for energies, Rewired is a most useless modification in my opinion. Is there anyone that shares this point of view? I can live with rewired modifications on shields sometimes, but on energies, I just throw them away or remove the modifications.

yes but id far sooner have the functionality of buying a modded item from a base. Cant you sell the modded item to ai base and undo to remove the mod?

What CSE said. Not every mod gives bonuses. Sleek, for example lowers agility. And if that normal stat is critical to the setup, then something like Rewired hinders the setup.

Rewired energies = fail

Seriously, who uses a ReWired energy..

I have a dbl modded CR that sits in my storage because its modded Overclocked Rewired. We really need a way to remove 1 or all mods on an item so the above instance doesn't happen all the time. But as for the topic, i love it!!!!

Rewired should not affect shield bank.

Maybe Increase energy bank and decrease regen? or vice versa? etc

Sometimes, you don't want an item to be modded. For example, forceful adds +32% size to an item, as well as damage (for weps) and thrust (for engines). If you barely have enough room for the item, you don't want forceful. Radioactive adds visability as well as elec, obviously bad for any stealth setup. Rewired on energies is just awful, takes away shields.

OK now your just being silly.

Why? That's what I do...

i use combo of rewired energy + amp shield - so i like it leave ti as was.
I use rewired energy still on my DM and i love the extra energy bank shield idc about .... and removing just one mod is against the whole purpose of mods - you either get lucky or you dont ...

shud happen to bpitems too....i wud make 100 dunders to get a nicely modded one
