SE Increase the ELEMENTAL capacity of Frame/Head combination

SE your most recent announcement about adding more attachments is great and awesome and I think will ultimately do wonders for the job... are you at the same time looking at increasing the elemental capacity of the frame/head combination as well possibly increasing the number of attachment slots in the automaton equipment set-up screen in order to use such awesome new attachments?

Please consider:

1 - Increase the percentage ranges all-inclusive of each attachment; in other words, it may be easier to buffer all of the the attachments per tier than continue to create more powerful attachments

or

2 - Add more improved versions of current attachments, while increasing the elemental capacity of frame/head combination

or

3 - Add new attachments with lower elemental capacity; this will enable our current automaton set-up screen of 12 slots to stay at 12 but allow for more flexibility and usage of higher-end attachments. ie. level 90+ end game participation won't equal immediate automaton death.

or

4 - Increase the current automaton equipment set-up screen from 12 slots to 15 slots AND increase the elemental capacity of Frame/Head combinations. (I believe this is the better option)

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

from the current way automatons are set up, it would have to be 16 slots, not 15 (currently 4x4 grid) your proposal would be a 4x5 grid.

also another option would be to merit elemental capacity (for all frames)

No, he's right. It's 15. Since the current slot setup is 4x3, it would become 5x3.
I've done a little 'shopping, and it's possible to use the empty space around each slot to squeeze in another column of slots without increasing the window.

ah, my mistake, (was 3 am here)

Yeah I posted something similiar, basically under the moniker of tier 2 body/frames or a "relic" automaton.
