Poll: Renaming Ion Cannons

[Fiskbit]

Some players may find the current Ion Cannon naming convention confusing (the cannon kills all ships of a lower mark, so not including ships of equal mark). The change would make the current Ion Cannon Mark II, which kills Mark I ships, be Mark I, and Ion Cannon Mark III, which kills Mark I and II ships, be Mark II.

Thoughts?



Personally, I'm for it. I find myself double checking the description for the cannon sometimes for peace of mind to make sure it's not killing my ships because it'll keep shooting even if I don't have any ships that can be insta-killed in the system. I think having a Mark I version of the cannon will make things more clear, too, since with the current convention, a Mark I version would be little more than a fancy sniper turret, which isn't all that special at all.

MK1 should kill MK1 ships, MK2 should kill Mk2 ships.. MK3 mk3 ships and mk4 mk4 ships

If thats what you suggest, then i am for it

Honestly, I could see an argument for this going either way as long as it is clearly explained on the info card. However, I could see it being somewhat more intuitive to have an Ion Cannon engage targets that are of the same level, so I would lean towards lowering the Mark levels.

I'm inclined towards lowering the mark level, I think it'll be more intuitive.

Well, support for this seems pretty universal, so I'll do it.
