Improve AutoAim for the "Plasma Cannon" weapons.

Beef up the AutoAim on All of the Plasma Cannons except for the HX model.
Give it something similar to the Plasma Eliminator or Gauss Cannon.

Newbs have a hard time aiming. Newbs on a phone or tablet have a REALLY hard time aiming. As it stands, there's no decent small-port energy weapons available to Lite subscription users that are suitable for tilt or touchscreen controls. Unfortunately, that's the target market for Lite subs.

+1. They'd still be crappy slow low-end weapons, so this wouldn't hurt anything.

+1, except include the HX model to make them relevant.

By your logic, since more experienced players have less trouble aiming, auto-aim should be reduced on more advanced weapons.

draugath, there's a logical fallacy in there somewhere, I'm just not sure which one it is. (Need coffee...)

Aiming on a tablet sucks compared to a mouse or joystick. This suggestion was made because the devs have put a lot of effort and time into bringing the game to mobile platforms, but the actual gameplay hasn't really been adjusted to suit. (Except for silly crap like making bots easier and totally nerfing collision damage.)

Lecter, I suggested leaving out the HX model because it's already in a class by itself compared to the other Plasma Cannons and even many other, higher level, more expensive weapons. It basically makes all of the other early s-port weapons totally irrelevant.

The Plasma Cannon HX has the highest Damage/Energy ratio in the game and the longest range of any energy weapon. Do you really think it needs more autoaim?

you don't want to see people in Orion convoy hornets turboing around forever and only slowing down to quad blast you with HX while aimed 30 degrees away from you then running before you can respond?
