Melee mods!

[Strokend]

Something that's surprisingly lacking is the ability to mod melee weapons. The most you can do right now is if you use the Legendary Modifications mod, you can mod Rare/Epic/Legendary traits, but not add new ones.

Here's a few ideas:

• Slot 1: Attack traits
  • Sharpened edge: Slight weight decrease, slight damage up
  • Gyro-slammer?: Weight increase, big damage up (Idea is something that throws its weight into the swing to make it hit harder)
  • Aerodynamic grooves: Attack speed up
• Slot 2: Elements!
  • Flame emitter: Set your enemies on fire!
  • Cryo blaster: Attack speed down, but slow/freeze enemies
  • EM Conversion: To knock your enemies out
  • Loose wires: Electric damage, slow enemies
• Slot 3: Defense
  • Hand guard: Reduces odds of being staggered
  • Shield: Big sheet to block stuff on the back of the weapon. Blocking with weapon reduces damage even further.
  • EM Disrupter: Simply equipping weapon raises EM resistance.
• Slot 4: Misc
  • Nanotrackers: Mark struck enemy (in case they try to flee)
  • Gravimetric Alloys: Weight decrease, quiet swings
  • Ergonomic grip: Increases weapon ready/holstering speed and attack speed
  • Credit snatcher: Every time you strike a valid target, obtain single-digit sum of credits (Not huge, but if you're single handedly "dueling" an entire army, that adds up)
