Sharks are definitely one of the more underthought ships. Sure, they're designed to be pathetic, but with enough skill, a player can be good at them. Then, I came up with a great idea! Reps are useful, but why not make sharks like thus? Instead of being set at L2 guns, L2 Bombs, and a Rep, make it L2 guns, L2 bombs, and a variable slot. It can be a special, like multi or bounce, or an item, like anything outside of burst (because Shark burst is redunkulously powerful). You might also outlaw prox, but it does only last 20 deaths... This way, the shark still sucks, but at least there's some variety, which is one of the great things of this zone, and why 20slots should never exist.
