Hi there, what are some minor changes that would make the dvalin Ion9 cannon more worth it for all the work you have to do to get it, and still be balanced? (perhaps also increase the level of it?)

To me, it seems to be the only other shotgun cannon other than the Morningstar... so it should probably kick ass...

What would you all change to make it a good gun?

hmm maybe if it wasn't a shotgun type weapon but a wave type weapon ie the weapon makes a sinusoidal (sp?) path.
That would make it fun without making it too weak from further away.

For me, personally, I feel that his cannon is outdated in comparison to what's available by the time you can get it. And since you give him better and more superior weapons, it would make sense that from them, he should come up with something worth while--he is the top scientist there ya know.

I think it would be nice if by your hefty donations, Dvalin could discover nano-based tech (it being the next in line after antimatter). It wouldn't have to be a very powerful weapon that'd kill anything, but could give black eyes and bruises to some and could possibly even have random missfires as well...it being something new after all.

I'd like to think that George is saving nano and the higher levels for parts II and III, but I don't see anything wrong with getting a little taste of what's to come.

So for your all's suggestions, what specific changes to the code would you make?

more damage, it should really kick-ass vs akan (as dvalin always repeat)
