Okay so how did people realize that Cannon is female? Did I miss a sentence in the story, did the author post a comment about her gender or I’m just blind?

Good to know. Usually you can tell the genders apart by the shape of themuzzle, length of their eyelashes and zhe hairstyle. To me Cannon didn’t looked very female, which made me assume that she’s a stallion.
 
Pretty embarrassing. ^^

Notice how everypony immediately left the locker room. Nobody wants to be nearby if Cannon is angry. Makes you wonder if the accident turned him into such a violent jerk or if he always was like that.
 
Still I can sympathies with him a little bit. Losing all his legs and having them replaced with cybernetics wasn’t a pleasant experience. And unless he was drunk or speeding it’s completely Atom Smasher’s fault.

I feel like MLP has evolved at this point. It is no longer bright and colorful. Its a full world with different cultures and creatures. It opens up to several alternate versions and fan creations that can take it wherever they want to go. I am more impressed that Pony can create and work at all in these kinds of worlds. FoE still remains my favorite because of how different it is from the usual MLP world. It is the fall of utopia. Those kinds of stories are just really interesting to me.

The art is good, the facial expressions are vivid, the dialogue sounds realistic… but cyberpunk and ponies don’t go together. Cyberpunk is 40-year-old brief fad in science fiction literature, all about ultraviolent post-nuclear dystopias ruled by corrupt corporations. It’s a relic of a time when “hacker” meant “curious kid who wants to figure out how the phone network works by doing things to it with surplus-store equipment” and not “computer criminal who works for the Russian Mafia.”
 
It’s the same problem I perceive with Fallout Equestria. Ponies are too pure and innocent for this bleak scorched radioactive world they’ve been dropped into. The mismatch in tone is too great to work for anything but short humor pieces that play on the difference in tone. For serious storytelling it just doesn’t fit.
