When refitting a ship leftover points can be used in flux vent and capacitor.  I suggest adding armor plating, it increases armor by 10 for every point with the same limitations for vents and capacitors: 10 for frigate etc..

That would render the heavy armour and armoured turrets mods completely redundant.

I also think it'd offer a little too much design flexibility, especially for already well armoured ships.

Do vents render the Resistant Flux Conduits mod redundant? Do vents and capacitors add too much flexibility for high-tech ships that already have a lot of dissipation and capacity?

It seems like a fair enough thing to add to me. Could make for some interesting designs without being horribly OP.

There was a topic a little while back that proposed a similar (but more all-encompassing) change. (My response is a few posts in...)

In my opinion - yes, actually. But the other way around. For any ship that has a high enough base flux vent rate, it is almost always more advantageous to take Resistant Flux Conduits over an equal amount of vents, since you get +10% flux vent rate (which will be as much as or more than if you had spent the OP on pure flux vents), plus some other thing about EMP or something, I didn't really pay attention to that part (because as things currently are, EMP is practically nonexistent as a threat).

Fair enough. Gotta draw the line somewhere, I suppose.
