Caramel Assault - why blast assault?

so after seeing several comments from other players about how the caramel assault is basically a visually-distinct copy of the Avalanche, i started wondering to myself why the dev team decided to make another blast assault-themed WW snow gun instead of basing it off an ejection rifle (as first introduced with the xindi-terrestrial box), since its secondary mode of fire does, and i quote: Biomatter Ejection Rifles have a secondary fire mode that covers the ground in a gooey puddle of biomatter which will cause plasma damage and a slow effect to any foes in the area.

seems to me that when dealing with hot caramel, covering the ground with a gooey puddle is far better than an explosion, and then it wouldn't step on avalanche's toes

not really expecting them to change it or anything, just curious as to why they ultimately decided on using blast assault as the CA's base weapon type​​
Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

#LegalizeAwoo

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.
I gain power by understanding both.
In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.
I am a shadow, darkness born from light.
The Force is united within me.

    simple answer copypasta sad but true man :(

    I had the same thoughts myself when i first used it why not a big puddle of carmel goo on the ground like the xindi rifles secondary.

    Meh, the snowblower still rules over all.

    Yeah...seems like that would be perfect for the caramel launcher.
