Can you make Low slot, equipment fit in "Medium" and "Large" slots?

Can you make Medium slots equipment fit in "Large" slots also?

Give more flexibility for a ship/structure.

There's no such thing as a medium or large slot. If you're asking to be allowed to put low slot equipment in mid and high slots, and mid slots fit in lows and highs, no. Ships have their layouts for a reason.

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Like your other post, balancing nightmare.

Happens in 4x games because ship balance is not important.

EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY? No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided"

You somehow have the idea that having restrictions decrease the amount of flexibility you have.

It doesn't

It increases the amount of viable options by not having 1 superior build that everyone copies.

But imagine what would happen if you fit sixteen 1600mm plates.

"Can" yes, will they? No, because that would be bad for ship balance. Ships have slot restrictions for a reason, they add variety and limit what different ships can or can't do, which creates variety.

It's... it's starting to not be fun making fun of you any more.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

No, because you will get ~13billion EHP Titans and supers.

What the hell makes you think that a low slot is worth half a midslot or a quarter highslot? Have you ever actually done any fitting theorycrafting at all?

TIL if you title every thread "To the developers:" your ideas have more merit.
