[Suggestion] T4 Extractor "boost" modification/upgrade/option
Currently, some veins (arctic, desert) only have two attachment slots for extractors. Also, solo extraction (running around as a solo player) is more difficult due to G-slot limitations on carrying the extractors and radar and such. I don't actually propose to modify either of those limits. Instead, have an option (alteration crafted somehow, maybe a second piece you attach or slot into the extractor itself) that can "boost" the performance of the extractor by, say, 50%, but at the cost of using 2x the power. This would 1) Allow for functionally 2.5x extractors running on a single generator in the arctic or desert without modifying the underlying structures (a generator can run 3 extractors, so would be able to boost one). 2) Allow faster extraction if people put the effort into carrying a second generator and fuel can around and also craft the addon/alteration/booster/whatever (added effort leading to added benefit) 3) allow solo players a little more option when running around.

cmopatrickThis makes a lot more sense in terms of immersion that the current approach of carrying not only the t4 extractor, but the t4 table and mats to make a second/third t4 extractor as well. Seriously, which weighs more, the table or the extractor? Which occupies more space? The OP has it right, let us upgrade one extractor to where we can do the job much more efficiently. Solo is hard enough already without waiting forever just to then carry exotics in multiple loads run back to our dropship.

cmopatrickactually, since we can now call dropships with the t4 device, you don't need any extra carrying slots (even in solo), just enough of the Composite Dropship Recall Beacons at your first base to cover however many veins a map has. For example, on spirit walk, I would only need 4. The first calls the dropship to my main base. I load all the gear I need to provision a well defended extraction base into the dropship, run to the first vein, call the dropship, build whatever I need to defend the location, extract with gen or solar panels powering electric extractors, then repeat for the remaining two veins.
Since they have already converted all veins to two extractor places and boosted the speed of the extractors, I would consider this one done.
