Could we get these things improved? Apparently they were originally supposed to be plasma weapons, so they'd be worth the mats if they were. As it stands, shock cannons are useless on their own, and no one uses them.
A possible fix could be making these a plasma weapon, with absolute damage, and maybe not making the unlock process so complicated. If the weapons were unlocked the same as modules, where you only hand over mats once, and unlock every class and mount type for purchase, rather than needing more mats to unlock a single class and mount.
Ease of access would greatly expand the usability, and the number of people who would buy tech broker weapons, if they were actually useful.
