Short Version / Introduction
Add randomized secondary stats for gear that drops from red boxes. This would give a reason for people to play sector other than grinding for GP.
How this would work
Lets use the bot type Ram as the example here. The Ram bot type has 3 secondary stats. They're the following:
(Head)Special Transformation
(Body)Trans Speed
(Arms)Transformation Gauge
When you get a head, body, or arm part the stats will be the exact same depending on the +#. A +1 Mohawk arm gives +17 TG every single time you get one.
If this was implemented it would give each + a range for the bonus that the armor piece gives. To give another example, it would give a +1 Mohawk arm a chance to drop with anywhere between +17 - +50 TG. Obviously the higher the secondary stat is the lower the chance the part is gonna drop.
Why this would actually help the game in anyway
I'll give a few reasons as to why I think this would be worth spending time on to add to the game.
1. It would give low levels a sense of getting something actually valuable. Normally if you're a low level and you get a +4/+5 drop, it's pretty useless. Where as if you get a +4/+5 drop with, lets say, +100 TG it is actually rare and is helpful.
2. It would give high levels a reason to play different levels. Let's face it, once you're a high level you're only playing 2 or 3 different maps. To me, this gets really repetitive and makes the game dull.
3. It would stop making Tier armor the 'god' tier of armor. Sure, it would still be better, but people with Elektra +6/7 wouldn't have a complete disadvantage.

Something that would make this addition to the game even better
You may have noticed that I have yet to mention anything about the variation of stats for +6/+7.
This is because I wanted to have a better way of adding random stats to +6/+7 then just saying "You get a variation of the secondary stat once you make the +6/+7 part"
So what I came up with was why not use Bot-stract? We all know Bot-stract is useless. Nobody sells Bot-stract anymore, I would even say that literally nobody wants to buy Bot-stract.
How this would work
Under the "Special" tab, (where Transform and Combine are) there would be a new tab. This tab would allow you to enter a +6/+7 item and would let you 're-roll' the secondary stat on the item. The cost would depend on the level of the item, and whether it was +6 or +7.
This would give Bot-stract an actual use and once again give it value within the player market.
Well that's pretty much it. I don't even know if this is possible, though I am pretty sure it is. Who knows, I may have just wasted the past half an hour writing this out.
