Tweak the PCB so it works like a charged cannon. On the lowest level charge the PCB will work as it does now. And on the highest level charge allow it to do what Heini suggests in his thread(disable a powercell recharge for 1 second). At any other level, the PCB will work as a stronger variation of current PCB.

yes, great idea! How long for a full charge? about 20 seconds? This will definitely be used.

+1

It would be better to have it as a separate weapon because you would lose the ability to type /+shoot2 and go afk or type when you are locking down an NPC Cap Ship.

+1 if:
Full charge takes 2 seconds
Cell is disabled for 2 seconds because 1 is too low and 3 too high IMO
Full charge takes 500 energy
Uses 50 energy per second just like the normal PCB

Balanced because:
Normal PCB takes 750 energy during that time
Slow rate of fire
Easier to dodge because of slow rate of fire
Can't use +shoot2
Not very energy efficient against Fast Charge cells

When it's like this I would definitely like it.
