There would be no need for mounting, buying something installs it on your ship. Selling something removes it. You wouldn't get to byp!@#$%^&* the current type quan!@#$%^&*y limits.
If we were to make the overhaul I was referring to, there would be no such thing as a "gun pod", you would just have space on your ship you could put stuff in. IE Warbird has a capacity of 10 and the pulse laser uses up 2, ion drive uses up 3, etc
Yeah I ran out of attack turns last night and haven't gotten any more, looking into it now edit: Yeah for some reason turn gaining is disabled. If Syrus doesn't come on soon I'll set it to something
you should probably have bought a defensive soldier instead edit: ahaha I'm pretty sure that's a moral victory if not actually technically one since I didn't lose anything but .1 on a helmet
There are technical limitations that prevent that from happening. From a theoretical standpoint, I can only see that happening if we did an overhaul of the item system with cargo space and power consumption anyway.
