Bingo, I like this way of thinking. It's not just repeating things. Yes, it's another super weapon, but it at least looks different. I'm not even saying it looks good, but it's a start of possible new directions.
I still think it's silly to have this bigger and more powerful DS2 go around and just blow up one ship at a time. I would like something more along the lines of a wide range-type weapon, but with lasers. It could take out several ships at once.
