Title: QoL Suggestion: Make The Spectral Transfer Module Work Like a Phasmo-Encapsulator!

Ghostbusters WX: Let Us Capture Gestalts with The Spectral Transfer Module!

 

I really wish we could use The Spectral Transfer Module just like the Phasmo-Encapsulator.

Right now, it's a bit inconvenient because we can only get Gestalts to possess a chassis on-site by attaching the module. I'd love it if we could capture Gestalts directly (literally just like Ghostbusters lol) and encapsulate them. This would let us stockpile Gestalts, saving us the massive hassle of traveling all the way to the Lunar Island every time a clone dies on an expedition or starves at base.

Having an unlimited durability replacement for the Phasmo-Encapsulator would be a bit weird and too OP, so I think it'd be better if the encapsulated version lost durability over time or per use.

Also, similar to how Nightmare Fuel works with the Shadow Affinity, it would be cool if interacting with the encapsulated Spectral Transfer Module temporarily brought up the Lunar battery gauge. It would really tie the themes together nicely! ^^

...Honestly, maybe I just wanted you guys to look at my drawing ^^

making it lose durability over time would massively hurt the point in the game where it shines (moonstorms on) so i disagree with the change on this note

(cool drawing though)

Maybe it should only be able to capture pre-rift gestalts? So you'd still be encouraged to make phasmo-encapsulators if you want to have empowered possessed chassis.

Is it really a bad thing to skip the crafting process for the Phasmo-Encapsulator? Wilson can already transmute Iridescent Gems to skip game events. Since WX is so well-versed in science and machinery, it actually makes a lot of sense lore-wise for them to be able to progress the Warbot event without relying on Wagstaff. Besides, Brightshade Gestalts move around so much, chasing and catching them just sounds like a lot of fun! ^^ Well, if it's strictly for balance reasons, I guess it can't be helped though.

It's kind of a balance thing (planar-possessed chassis gain planar damage reduction + full planar damage on planar weapons + suffer 75% less sanity drain per minute, it's a lot), but also the terramites and warblers are clearly constructed WITH the filled encapsulator.

totally forgot that the filled encapsulator itself is used as an actual crafting ingredient for them.
