That shield was a bomblet dispenser just a few moments ago from that trailer. Could it be that weapons will have secondary functions now? I'm already suspecting different core functions now aside from just OB, so that EMP burst might be another one, maybe core functions will be selectable now as well?
That is a prospect that I never considered before, and I am genuinely fascinated if that is the case. Core Functions as a part slot (say, OB vs. EO vs. AA) is an interesting idea, if that is going to be tied to a part instead of to the core itself. Though considering the ubiquity of OB in the series as a whole, I'm not sure if they would return to the trade that essentially was between them in 3. It sure is something to think about, though.
