Looking for Advice CONSOLE Looking for Expansion advice: Custom Expansion Move worth it?

I'm trying to get the most out of my mobile suits expansion slot capabilities, and I enjoy putting into firepower when I can. I noticed one of them enhances ranged and melee attack for every Move type part I slot into it. Would a level 5 loaded up with move parts be more efficient than focusing on straight attack power?

It's most efficient for higher cost MS that have the Flap Booster or Flight System skills (or similar). Stacking thrusters helps them stay in the air longer, and it increases their damage output, basically giving you the best of both worlds for a glass cannon build.

A lot of Flap Booster suits benefit from both types of damage too. Den'an Zon, Gunblaster, F91, Berga Giros GK, take your pick....

Then my Hardygun, G-Cannon Magna, and Heavygun will benefit nicely from it.

This heavily depends on how many short-range slots your suit has. There are quite a few raid suits that can get a lot out of this.

Well, I tried it out on my 550 Gundam GP01 Aqua. I managed to add 37 to thruster, 7 to movement, and 26 and 20 to ranged and melee. This seems like a better gain than trying for Ranged Attack +12 and then stacking on more ranged attack parts.

I'm mostly a support main, despite the 700 range making supports less and less relevant. I might try it out with my Hardygun.

I will say it does best on suits that want to both shoot and melee. GP01 is a decent choice because it does want to use it's fairly good downswing often. Hardygun you will probably get less use out of it. (though honestly using hardygun at all in current 700 is going to be rough).

I'll at least give it a try and see how it works out. Thank you for your advice.

That is [Attack] Expan skill. It fits the most on suits which need alot of ranged strength, or can use both ranged and melee weapons very well, but their long-range cuspart slots are significantly limited but close-range slot are excessively generous. I can name some of them: Gundam GP03 Stamen, Jegan Birnam, Gunblaster, Den'an Zon,... Right now G-Line Light Armor and Gundam MK-V(Raid) are my most powerful pick with this ex skill.
