There’s plenty of other places the ability to generate orbs could go so as not to nerf us in any way and free up some memory on weapons. Make it mod on Sparrows. Make it so we can Master Work Sparrows and it is a perk from that. Make it a perk or byproduct of having Master Worked armor. Maybe where the number of master worked armor pieces influence which weapon slots can generate orbs. Like 2-pieces of equipped armor for kinetic/primary weapons, 4-pieces to include energy/special, 5-pieces to include Power Weapons. Make it a feature of reaching level 20 of the artifact mod, that as you level it up more weapon types can generate orbs, until lvl 20 when all weapon types can generate orbs. This way they could really stretch it out, for example at lvl 2 ARs and Scouts can generate orbs, lvl 4 adds SMGs and Side Arms, lvl 8 adds Hand Cannons and Bows, lvl 12 adds fusion rifles, etc. But they chose not to do anything other than move weapon orb generation to a system that would nerf us and change how we have to or can make builds. So there’s little point in asking the mod(s) to generate orbs go someplace else other than an armor mod slot. Having to chose between benefits is the point and not an unforeseen consequence.
