Time to bring back the modular units into the discussion as I always supported this many times.

Why do we always have to think about nerf/buffs when we can modulate every single unit in the game with metal cost inflation/deflation. This way if you want cloaked anti-air or cloaked snitches you just pay more to have that kind of unit and you won't need to rely on iris/cornea.

If I want a cloaked Krow we calculate the initial cost of 4500 metal and we add +10% of 4500 (initial cost) for each module. If I also want for the Krow to deal some kind of slow damage we add another +10% of its initial cost making it have the final price of 5400 metal.

If I want for the flea to detect invisible units by choosing the new decloaking module (which decloaks units from a bigger range) I will just add +10% more for its initial cost of 25 metal. so 25 metal +2.5 will result in 27.5 costs of the new modular flea.

If I want the Paladin to get an outlaw module and a small shield module it will result in a +20% initial cost increase. Thus the Paladin will be 12000 instead of the original 10000.

Now we scale every single module into the game in the similar way I mentioned above for every single unit and in the factories that we have, we will just have a vanilla frame where we can modify interactively in the game and add/remove stuff to the new units and then make them.

The modulation of all units in Zero-K will bring new tactics and will present us with tons of options from where we can choose. We just have to fixate every unique module that units have in Zero-K so we can have a good perspective on how they will impact the units. As long as he has standard modules and counters for these modules we won't have any kind of issues whatsoever.
