    Based on the discussion in this thread, i'd love to see a unit cannon mod. The easy mode version would just be a rebalance. The goal of the rebalance would make it so you can easily do interplanetary raids (or just single planet raids) by mid-game, and could just build loads of unit cannons for late game
    • Remove boom bot
    • Make cheaper - perhaps 2x a T2 factory instead of 3x
    • Perhaps lower the build rate or number of units per cannon a bit to balance
    • Unit energy costs may need to be tweaked
    The more elaborate mod i'd really like to see is two unit cannons, for T1 and T2. T1 would cost 1.5x an orbital platform and only have T1 units - no fabricators or combat fabricators, T2 would be pretty similar to vanilla. To differentiate them you could rescale the T1 cannon to be much smaller and only store 6 pods, and maybe tweak the icons.

    Will be super grateful if anyone feels like making this mod.
