We should be able to sell parts, weapons, as well as Nimbatus modifiers gained in the playthrough for Tritium and Unobtainium at shops or other applicable outposts, at roughly 70% of original price if applicable, and otherwise with a generated price depending on rarity, usefulness, and upgrades (for weapons). Also should have lossless buyback as QoL.

The proposed modifiers for shotguns are actually quite good since regular shotguns actually deal some respectable damage but is greatly hindered by the massive projectile spread, which makes them weak in the current meta, but the two combat modifiers both feature high spread reduction (one is -50% and one gets rid of spread completely) so I think these upgrades will make them much more powerful.

needs to be banned in multiplayer because it would be too broken. you can just tether an unguided booster to somebody and win every time.

Large Weapons Concept For Ranged Weapons 2x2 Size & 4x Weight & 3x Health, Square Shape Normal weapons can choose one of the following modifiers to become a large weapon. These modifiers usually allow them to become specialized. Most modifiers will cause weapon to produce heat when fired which will require cooling. Not affected by ammunition type. Captains without the tech tree will be able to upsize weapons with Tritium at a specialized depot that spawns randomly. Players may choose a desired modifier. Incompatible upgrades will be swapped with a random positive upgrade that will be shown before the upsizing and may be rerolled for Tritium. (Positive, as in beneficial. e.x. Recoil upgrades will be negative) Ammo type may also be changed for more Tritium before the upsizing, unless the modifier has a required ammo type. Captains with the tech tree can unlock modifiers with Unobtainium in the tech tree, and upgrade unlimited weapons with them once purchased. Downgrading is also available as QoL. All modifiers are applied to base weapon stats, before regular upgrades. Weapons will still have normal upgrade slots but special upgrades that are already applied are unavailable (e.g. sticky). Upgrade modifiers are applied after the large weapon modifiers but all percentage stats are additive. Regular energy consumption upgrades are subtractive in regards to the extra energy consumption percentage. Damage & Digging stats are separate unless specified. Each modifier has its own turret graphic. Modifiers These could probably be more balanced but I won't know how to balance them without testing them directly.
