Secret Weapon Devices

Another idea I had while thinking about these.

A Secret Weapon is a "power device" that works similar to a Vehicle. A player can slot a singe Vehicle Weapon mod into it. From then on, the player can use the device to fire the sloted Vehicle Weapon without using a vehicle.

Of course, considering how powerful vehicle weapons are, Secret Weapons would come with a number of limitations, to keep the balance:

* Secret Weapons are "unique" devices, meaning the player can only have one at a time in his inventory.
* Like a number of other devices, Secret Weapons cannot be used in PvP.
* Secret Weapons are meant to be an ace up the hero's sleeve and used only in desperate situations. Therefore, they should have a very long cooldown; at least 30 minutes, better 1 hour.

or only be usable after the hero has reach 1/4 hit points or something. A long cool down is a great idea, but I would go 30 minutes and not an hour.
