Well, now that the UC is actually out, I think it came time that Uber actually updated the unit cannon wreckage to reflect its new form. If it has been removed, it should be re-added as such.
It existed to troll us. There is no point to it now, remove it posthaste (Or at least make it so that it will no longer be randomly generated, removing it outright might brake custom maps?)
I think it should stay in its currebt form, as a rminder of the fun of the kickstarter, alpha, beta, and gamma. Maybe it should have the team members (former and present) names on it.
Why not bring it in to the game as a nerfed down version of the actual unit cannon? Nerfed in such a way that it can be built as a T1 unit (with a smaller build rate and limited roster) and it could fire up to say three units per volley (reduced APM to maybe 1 as an example), that way it could become an alternative to rapid expansion if you for some reason prefer to avoid the Astreus (hope I wrote the name correctly). /going into hiding in fear of backlash -Bastian Forge
