	There are behavioral similarities between cannons and [[Plasma Accelerator\|plasma accelerators]] (both fire slow moving projectiles at a slow rate of fire).

In exchange, accelerators are dramatically less efficient, and serve as a less-specialized primary weapon.

	~~Due to the~~ similarities between cannons and [[Plasma Accelerator\|plasma accelerators]] (both fire slow moving projectiles at a slow rate of fire ~~and are designed to be used against larger, more armoured ships~~), the cannon is a substitute for pilots on a budget, since both the cannon and its ammunition are cheaper - in the case of ammunition by a factor of 10 per shot. Cannons also require much less energy to operate than plasma accelerators. Additionally, cannons are available on fixed, gimballed and turreted mounts, whereas plasma accelerators are only available on fixed mount.
