The Enforcer Cannon is a fun, fresh take on the multicannon - ruined by only being available in Small size
It's no secret that Pranav Antal offers absolute trash to his supporters. Arguably, he is the only Power with bonuses worse than Winters - he gifts us the same crappy influence boost, but we also receive higher fines and bounties in his control systems. Mechanically, he pretty much does not reward players for their efforts. However, since PP launch we had one tiny little hope in the distance - that the Enforcer Cannon would at least be an interesting and fun weapon to use. It certainly sounded that way - a cannon with a slower rate of fire but higher damage is pretty cool. I was planning to outfit my Python with nothing BUT Enforcer Cannons and PvP as a gunboat for a while. Then the weapon actually came out.
First of all, shame on Frontier for calling it the "Enforcer Cannon" and not even telling us that it was, in fact, a multicannon. Not that I terribly mind, I actually like that idea more, but it's not fair to not tell us what reward we can expect. Second, this fairly original, fun take on the multicannon - a variant that many people actually requested since launch - is rendered absolutely useless for most setups by being only small and fixed. I was fully expecting a somewhat weak unique weapon, but to receive one that I genuinely cannot even use on my ship is a slap in the face after already pledging to a Power that FD clearly, obviously doesn't care about at all. Please, just give us that weapon at least in medium, that way it will be useful on almost every ship in the game. Just give Antal this one thing, just so we have *something* to show for our efforts. The current situation is simply insulting.
