Idea is to slightly improve its ability to hit targets (downside is the projectile colliding with obstacles more easily), 'nuff said.

Thoughts?

Might work better to increase the speed of the light-based projectile. Maybe decrease the delay between mouseclick and actual fire a little bit.

I think it would add a good balance to the extreme range weapons. It would drop their changes of completely coring a mech, as it would have a high potential to hit any part of the torso.

I think PPC should be "instantanous" with a slight firing delay. Any velocity greater than 63,000m/s will cover the entire range of the weapon in a single frame (1/60th of a second). At 1 / 4,761th of C it's not even approaching relativistic speeds...

By comparison, a projectile must travel at 59,500m/s to escape the gravitational pull of Jupiter.

Id perfer having hitscan (ER)PPC shots too, the hitbox is big enough already for a near miss to still do scrape damage.

Turning the (ER)PPC into a lighting based rocket launcher though would be a cool idea(never happening).
