If we decide to use a ballistic weapon that is smaller than the size allotted for it, say a size one cannon, in a slot that can hold up to a size three gun, could we then use that extra size to carry more ammo for that weapon?asked by Abyssal Dragon
TL;DRA smaller gun generally can't go in a larger slot and wouldn't add ammo, as mounts are mostly single-size, though an adapter item could be possible in the future.
Not really, I think the concept on the sizing of weapons is that you probably won't be able to put a size 1 gun in a size 3 slot. The system allows you to have a minimum size and a maximum size, but obviously if the size one is {this} big and a size three is {this} big then in real life the attachments wouldn't be build to handle such small guns. In general I'd say sizes are pretty much single size. If it's a size 3 mount you'll have to use a size 3 gun. Potentially there could be situation where there might be an option for size 2 or 3, or 3 or 4 or that kind of thing, but in general changing that sizing to the lower one doesn't create extra hardpoints for you to click, essentially you would have some kind of adapter item. Potentially there could be an adaptor item? Like something that plugs into a size 3 slot and can hold 2 size 1 guns and extra ammo? There's nothing in-game like that now, but the system would allow us to create it, that kinda the whole idea of the item system.
