Talk:Prawn Suit Propulsion Cannon/@comment-2A02:A31C:3F:600:C0C2:2041:569E:2EAF-20170902183642

So I finally crafted this and gave it a try. I currently have 2 PRAWN suits, one for mining and exploration, one for combat. The mining one is equipped with a drill arm and standard grabber to pick stuff up, it also has enlarged storage and thermal plant. The one for combat has a torpedo and grapling arm, as well as hull reinforcement and engine efficiency module. Both have mk. III pressure compensators and jump jets. The idea is that the mining/exploration one is used for long trips away from base mostly in "safe" waters and outside of deep trenches. The combat one operates either in the vincinty of the base or is deployed from Cyclops in emergencies and can also dive into deep trenches and dispose of dangers (hence the grappling arm on this one).

Anyway, I currently can't find any practical use for the propulsion cannon in both of these circumstances. It's not useful for mining, because I would have to get out of the suit to gather stuff and that's well... meh. For combat... I dunno, I don't see anything it could do that a well-placed torpedo couldn't and flinging stuff around for fun got pretty old pretty fast.

Am I missing something obvious?
