Seeing that Starbound is gonna have a bajillion different weapons,how about adding attack skills to make the game more interesting.Just like the game "Path of Exile",the skill system,will be like this;skill gems will be dropped from monsters or found as loot.By equipping said gem in a weapon socket,you can perform an attack skill.For example,you found a skill gem that allows you to fire explosive shots.You put it into a gun and then now you can fire explosive shots with a press of a button.To nerf this feature,there should be some Mana\energy bar that decreases everytime you use a skill.Those skill gems are also randomly generated,from a fire slash,to an ice blast,so on and so forth. This is where I got this idea from http://www.pathofexile.com/skills
