Actually, they decided against manual aim. It had a very strong negative response from the player base, including some plyers who have never used shocktrain.

As for reducing the chain to just 50 meters, that would basically remove the chain function, and thus leave you with a second Ion. The chance of having a cluster that tight is near zero. It would make more sense to implement a "capped radius", that is, if the target is more than 300 meters from the original target, the chain stops.
