What happened to the twiddling with cannon

Unless I dreamed it, I thought Vice was going to implement a way for us to fine tune the performance of our cannon - have I missed something or is it still in the pipeline?

There was a lot of "I wish we could change the spec of cannons" - then Vice asked for our opinions of things to add to a major upgrade of EM (or perhaps in AA). Twiddling with cannon specs was mentioned as something on the cards . . .

. . . or I've dreamed it!

:P

1 - Weapon crafting - a new 'Weapon Lab' would be introduced that lets you design and customize your own weapon functionality. You would start by selecting a class (ie plasma, metal projectile, rail, etc), then could modify various parameters such as energy load, heatsink capacity, firing rate, etc that would then determine things like damage and range. The result would be a customizied weapon that performs outside of the default configuration for those parameters.

. . . sort of thing

:D

I was lucky in my first attempt - just temporarily blinded myself and lit up the area I lived in!, but didn't deafen myself (that came much later) or blow any bits off!

Actually I was pretty lucky with mods to use rockets as bazookas using an old cardboard tube found behind a carpet shop

It did start my life and career as a chemist though!

My friend "sausage fingers" wasn't as lucky though

LOL....DaveK, I used instead of cardboard tube an old swing set stand metal tube, and me and my brother would make bazookas out of them and put up baricades of those old roof zinck plates and would shoot rockets at each other from behind our respective baricades. Also blew big holes in our yard and we told our parents that we dug those bigholes to clean up the yard and burry the leaves and debris in! Also we had lemon trees in our yard and the lemons made perfect projectiles for those tubes. Never had any accidents though.....

I would rather have the Excaliber regeneration time reduced by 50 seconds. In Legends it was too fast but in Mercenary its too slow!
