I agree the sight could use a bit of love. Given the combination of range, firing arc, and projectile speed something a bit like more like the mass driver would be welcome.

1) double blast radius.
2) add a different variety of sight...

The sight on the Plasma Cannon is great... if you are standing I the blast radius when you fire it, other than that this weapopn is freaking useless. (Yes I exaggerated a little for effect there.)

So my idea, is to make the sight so thst when you look through it, it has a moving graduated range scale that goes out to the maximum range of the weapon.

Basically, there will be a floating gauge to the left of the cross hair, the cross hair will have multiple point dots and stadia lines, this floating gague will move up and down in reference to the angle in which you tilt the cannon. You tilt it up at a 45 degree angle, and the gague will show you the maximum range and will fire the round at that angle. This will aloow you to take a moderately long ranged shot and actually hit something, instead of pointing upnsome and guessing with every round you lob.

So much like the sight on the mass driver, it will have graduated range lines and point dots going down the cross hair window, as well as a tilt gauge to tell you just how far that round is going to fly.
