Plasma Accelerator projectiles move relatively slowly (875 m/s); this and the lack of gimballed variants make them challenging to use, especially against smaller targets. However, Plasma Accelerators have among the highest raw damage ratings of any weapon, and much of this damage ignores the various resistances of shields, hull, and armoured [[Bulkheads]], as well as [[Armour Hardness]]. In addition, plasma slugs inflict thermal damage, which adds to the [[heat]] of any [[Ships\|ship]] they hit.

The drawbacks of these weapons include the higher level of skill required to consistently strike targets with them, and their vast energy requirements and thermal load. The latter issues make them inadvisable to use alongside other energy weapons such as [[Beam Laser]]s, and can force a pilot to limit their rate of fire to prevent overheating.

Military battleships, cruisers and also space stations are often equipped with this weapon. They're also fitted to large trading ships and passenger liners operating in the more dangerous regions of space.

	Even a Small Plasma Accelerator will destroy a well armed hundred tonne ship with a single shot. The large version has been known to be used as a planetary assault weapon, destroying selected areas of cities from orbit. This has a devastating effect on the local population, because the terrifying noise of the beam cutting through the atmosphere can be heard for hundreds of kilometers, and will deafen anyone unprotected in the vicinity.
