Tesla Mesh is a mod no one ever uses...
It costs an insane amount of batteries, it is super expensive. On paper it seems like the cost would be worth it! However, it lasts for something like 4 or 5 rounds... and it takes 1 round to activate, and 1 round to recharge it if you dare try to use it in the middle of combat... If you use it before combat then you've wasted some of the precious few seconds it lasts... (30-40 seconds)
It costs a ton, and no one uses it because it is so short it makes little to no difference... Combat in a level appropriate area usually lasts 30-50 rounds or longer. It is a joke to have such a heavy, expensive, and short lasting mod.
No one currently uses it. It should be cheaper and last longer, or at the very least, last twice as long, like the oil cannisters and asper--whatever-it's-called.

I was the only one I knew of who did use it and I did keep it for some time after it was fixed. Indeed what put me off it was that it would couldn't be sustained in combat. Two rounds to reactivate it and all the harder for trying to recharge and activate in block mode made it more of a struggle. If it had been able to cover me for a combat, even with a lower level of protection, then it may have proved more viable. As it was I just went back to the passive armor spikes that snag the majority of enemies for no upkeep.

Pretty sure I posted this originally as a suggestion...
Someone apparently moved it here to feedback, or I was simply too tired to realize... I dunno. But if someone did move it. It should be returned to suggestion forum.
Suggestion: No one currently uses it. It should be cheaper and last longer, or at the very least, last twice as long, like the oil cannisters and asper--whatever-it's-called.

As far as I was aware, the very short duration of the ability has been pointed out before: engines.freeforums.net/thread/1641/tesla-meshI'll see if I can't get some hard numbers on the current duration. I will agree that most characters who were using it at one point or another have either shifted away to another option for that slot, or never recharge it due to the high cost involved, which was even higher a month or two back. In terms of active use, however, I have found it quite solid and well worth the free uses I get when recharging the rest of my equipment.
