Cargo<->Ammo

Mar 27, 2004 Arolte link
I was looking over the Prometheus sketches Waylon made and I noticed that there will be expandable cargo space in the aft section of the ship. Is the idea behind this to swap weapon ports with cargo space? Or swap ammo capacity for cargo space? I think it would be awesome to double the capacity of swarms or any other ammo-based weapon... or use that extra space to double the battery capacity.

The idea was to make the appearance of the ship change based on how it was equipped. So if a large rocket launcher was loaded, a rocket launcher would appear instead of the turret. If you had an adv. gatling the standard turret would appear, but if no large weapon was equipped, then nothing would appear in the turret's spot. Cargo boxes would indicate the presence (or absence) of cargo.

Best analogy I can think of is in a third person game where you can see what you have equipped on your character's person. You equip X,Y, and A, and X,Y, and A appear on your character's costume or in your character's hands. Items Z, B and C are not equipped, and therefore do not appear.
