Whatever may have happened to the Commander with a Headlock Hack, I don't know, but this opens up a whole load of opportunities for Engineers to introduce improved game play with Experimental Effects:
Head Lock Weapon - locks the opponent's cockpit view into a head-down submissive mode when the weapons are fired.
We can think of others :
Expletive Emissions Cannon - fire this at your opponent and any joystick movement automatically issues expletives over the comms link.
Commodities Cannon - causes your opponent to receive dramatically reduced prices for commodities at the next base.
Pulse Laser - this laser, contrary to what you might think, issues headbanging heavy metal music to the opponent's speakers, rendering him incapacitated for the next 5 minutes of game play.
Fuel Missile - fired at your target, causes fuel to vent at an alarming rate, leaving the ship ready for the ....
Igniter Grenade - one burst into the fuel vapor cloud and everyone is toast within 2 km radius
Irritating Chirupping Crickets Cannon --- causes your opponent to hear crickets each time they try to fire their weapons .... they won't last long after this !
If the game is to be a mile wide and an inch deep, at least it might be a couple of inches deeper with these. Perhaps the Premium DLC could be "Design Your Own Weapon Effect"
I'm sure you could think of good ones to use
