I have to heavily disagree. Adding mods to improve the capabilities of a Kaithe could include one for handling, just as a first point, but as a second point, the handling of Kaithes as is isn't bad, at least for me. There are definitely worse-handling things than Kaithes, like Orowyrms or the base K-Drive you receive for free. The thing that made this clear for me is racing Kaithes. They corner quite well, but could definitely be better. Being allowed to mod for handling, speed, and sprint speed would be nice, especially since Kaithes are fun to play with solo, but could hold up missions in multiplayer. I don't understand what you said about enhancing the abilities of Kaithes, basically improving the manner in which they can do the thing they already do, somehow increasing the frustration of Kaithes. How would making them better in their abilities and movement make them worse for players? And last point for this comment, modding the Drifter was never on my mind, just modding the Kaithe you can take into the Origin System to make them more useful in Open World missions.

You're aware you don't have to do everything that's added to Warframe, right? Like, you don't have to do Netracells if you don't want to, you don't have to level gear you don't like, etc. If they add Kaithe mods to make the experience better for those that enjoy Kaithes, you don't have to join in. But just saying "I don't like Kaithes so they shouldn't be buffed" just takes away a beneficial experience from people who do like Kaithes.

On the topic of K-Drive mods, it would be nice if K-Drives acted like the other modular things in the game, giving you a polarization slot and different buffs or debuffs depending on what parts you pick. Nothing crazy, small speed buff or more stability, but just something to show value in making a K-Drive rather than just looks.

This'll probably be ignored, but I'll put it out there anyway. I'd like the ability to mod my Kaithe in the Origin System. Not for Duviri, but for Open World missions, it would be nice to have buffs for my Kaithe available. Here's some ideas I thought of to make this work: Firstly, mods could be given through Kaithe races that are not part of the story for Duviri. Maybe a low chance or something, like 15% drop chance. Each time you beat a race, you could get a new Kaithe mod. Secondly, the effects. Speed buff, faster boost while in air, larger radius or just harder slam on the third ability could all be used, along with some conditional mods. Maybe if you fly straight down on a Kaithe, it does a little shockwave on enemies or something similar. I personally like the idea from K-Drives of the fire trail, but I'm not sure how you'd activate that on a Kaithe. Maybe coming down from a flight or a roll? Not sure. Now, of course, you'd need a good way to level a Kaithe if this was implemented, which could be done with K-Drive races or even implementing Kaithe races in the Open World missions, or just by killing enemies on the Kaithe, treating the affinity gain as like a Warframe, getting half the affinity from kills you get on it. I don't know, it's just an idea, but one I would like to see. :)
