Manual Removal of ACU upgrades?

Postby SalvationKing0 » 26 Sep 2016, 06:15

Okay, so I know this is not really very important, and I can only really see one situation where it could be useful, but still.

Would it be possible to allow for manual removal of ACU upgrades? At present, the only way to 'uninstall' an ACU upgrade is to replace it with another one. This is inconvenient in one particular situation:

Playing as UEF, I had the dual shoulder drone upgrades. (It was on the coop mission Prothyon-16, so that was the only back upgrade I had at the time) However, those drones kept getting killed by Interceptors and wasting resources on the rebuild. Lacking any other upgrades unlocked in that slot, I couldn't replace the drones.

Is it possible to add some function to remove ACU upgrades without replacing them?

@ Salvation: No method I know of. Best would probably to never get the upgrade, once you know you will be in that situation in the mission. The function to remove an upgrade must already be inside the game code, but to add it to the UI would clutter it quite a bit more. I think this can be easily avoided by mapmapers to just include another upgrade like the Tac missile launcher, if it is really that annoying.

oops rip

In the meantime, maybe just go tell your drones to assist something back at base, under a shield

it would be cool if the ACU could drop this created upgrade.
it would lie then there where the ACU dropped it and an other one could be built.

then the ACU could switch those manufactured upgrades and the resources would not be wasted.
