it would be more symbolic if you gave it instead the ability to throw units as fast as the uef noah, and at higher velocity, like a railgun. i like the laser, but it sorta outmodes the unit throwing abilty. The galactic colossus could throw units and had a **** ton of health. i can bet more than half the supcom community thought the arm weapons on the universal colossus looked to be the main weapons. that is why they are called experimental right? for example, the colossus.
make each experimental use its own special weapon. if your going to use lasers, use them on only the experimentals that symbolize each faction. I liked how only the symbolic experimentals had lasers.
