It's already very good at its intended purpose of knocking around ships. In a game like this where positioning is crucial, a weapon like this is already a force to be reckoned with. To give it piercing damage as well just seems like overkill.

I think Muse once said there would never be a piercing heavy weapon. There was (and still is) talk about having it deal impact damage instead.
The amount of piercing per clip of heavy clip amounts to the same as 4 hades shots so it isn't much. I didn't check the shatter modifier but that probably contributes a chunk. Due to the long reload I haven't found the piercing much of an issue.
Does anyone know the reload?

Making it do impact damage could potentially be just as bad; impact does 80% extra balloon damage, and the balloon is the largest target on most ships.
Explosive might be more balanced, as it does almost no damage to anything except the permahull.

I had considered that as a possible balance as well.
Another idea might be to make it a projectile weapon instead of a hitscan weapon to require the gunner to lead his targets.
GeoRmr:
More arming-time, Reduced range (similar to banshee), Slightly less shatter damage, Smaller arcs, Slightly reduced rate of fire.

I highly recommend doing so because Muse actually reads them.
I like the idea of making bumpers useful.
Right now it's basically a Gauss gun. In fact I think I'll start calling it that in game because I don't really like calling it the Mino.
ShadedExalt:
I've decided to call it the 'Taur.

Actually, a good gunner will be aiming this primarily at the balloon, which is why it should do a reasonable amount of Impact damage. As it is now, the balloon just giggles as you shoot it.
