Improve the charged cannons.

Yes, they suck. We all know it, and apart from using the weapon in chainsaw setups, it really does have no use. So this is just a small idea to maybe improve them, but without taking away the current usage.

Currently when you charge and fire a charge cannon, the more damage you have per shot, but what if the more energy also means faster energy bolts? (There is no mass)

Proposed change:

Damage: 400-2000
Velocity: 175-195

Not sure how hard this would be to program, I mean there is already a variable in place for increased energy damage and also the size of the projectile in relation to how much power is "charged", but I think the idea has some merit. Sure, at full charge the bolt would be more devastating than a Gauss Mk3, but the delay in charging to that point and the lower auto-aim should balance this out.

+1, prb be no use to me but the chargies does need some love. i mostly use them in a rag with twin swarms for queens then autochain them on triple fast for an easy and fast sweet boom.
