Ouch guys.
I had hoped we'd save additional dice. This is going to get mighty interesting.
Well, first things first, we're going to have to cheapen the Suppressor into a halfway-decent infantry weapon. Right now it's like the SMG of crossbows, and that's only sometimes a good thing. Anyway.
After that, I still want two dice for the tactics, just so we have options should the first one go...interesting.
Alright, I procrastinated again. You want to adapt our Skyskiff production pattern and HOPE that we don't lose too many ships from the production line? Heh, maybe it'd be worth it.
Then as it stands, my votes are: Suppressor Type Something Cheaper, Sniper Tactics OR Ambush Tactics, and I suppose I'll get behind a cannon-cooling revision. Let me write it up, I guess.
Aethercannon Cooling
At present, the removable copper heatsinks from our aether cannons are...somewhat inadequate. In order to take advantage of the massive increases in crystal ability caused by the Itshana process, and even more so take advantage of Itshana Select crystals, our light cannons are refitted with a more advanced copper cooling system that out into a cylinder of copper with a fan-like arrangement of blades capable of radiating heat quite efficiently because it can reach more air to dispense heat into. The slightly increased surface area of copper allows for stronger shots to not overheat the gun as fast, meaning we can fire more often, which means more effectiveness.
Alright, so we do that. What have we gained? Well, if it's successful, we can fire our MORE POWERFUL cannons faster and more regularly than they can (Again, without any knowledge of the enemy's capabilities), which means that there's no need for us to revise that production pattern. Anyways, for now I think we ought to go for a cheap crossbow and then WRITE UP A NEW TACTIC WITH OUR LAST DIE. Otherwise our ridiculous massed-fire tactics are going to get us all killed off really, really fast.
