• I see you're making the most of the autocannons before Steve fixes that bug!

• Nodrog, can you not see my inventory? I had one autocannon!! But, Steve, I do think this shows that autocannons should maybe be banned in Assassins.

• I am going to put the price of autocannons up considerably, to put them more in line with the rocket launcher. Having said that, I might ban it altogether as the autocannon doesn't really add anything to the game that the rocket launcher doesn't already do.

• I think the repeat fire option adds a difference, but the snapshot and autoshot costs are way too low maybe ;)

• It does one thing - it's cheaper than a rocket launcher. :)
  
  You can up the cost, fine, but then it will be, just like the RL, outclassed by grenades for nearly all purposes.
  
  One way to go about balancing it would be making the explosions significantly smaller and less powerful, like the HE autocannon in X-Com. Then it might have a niche not occupied by another weapon.

• Sorry - didn't think to check the log and I didn't think anyone would risk using the auto shot feature with the cannon... Although that does explain how you've blown yourself up a few times! I wouldn't ban the weapon as I do think it makes a good addition to the game and is different to the rocket launcher due to it not having to be reloaded after every shot. As per my comment in the other thread I think just putting the price up to a level that means you need to cut more corners on equipping the rest of your squad is all that's needed. Perhaps this should be a topic for the forum, see what all the other players think?

• Good idea. I've adjusted the stats for the Autocannon. New stats are here: http://www.stellarforces.com/dsr/equipmentdetails.cls . It's probably too expensive now!
