What if Augments were toggles instead?

[(PSN)Tomplexthis]

It would be interesting if all augments were simple toggles turned on or off in the abbilities page. Rather than a mod taking up what little space we get. As toggles you could use all 4 augments for a warframe. If augments were just items that unlocked the toggle function of a power. That would be better than the constant free slot concept everyone makes. Same could be said for weapon augments. The idea is that all Augment mods become fuse items you sacrifice into the weapon or warframe like a lens to unlock the augment options. You can still gather and collect augments. But they are 1 time use items that are given to the frame or weapon. Still tradeable but now slightly different. Once used. Fused into an item. It is lost but the item will now have the augment toghle function unlocked from the abbilities page on warframes. Or new spot on weapons at the top.

Isn't the point that they take up space, which is why people don't like the free slot concept?

 

Opportunity cost. Your call if it's worth it.

... That completely defeats the "Give or Take" intention of the augments...

WIth this we would be even more over powered which is the opposite step to end game content

I like the idea but there would have to be some serious balancing for this to work and I don't really see that happening.
