A multi-cannon is mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs assigning to a fire group before it can be used. These weapons are projectile based and use actual ammunition, which needs replenishing when depleted. Multi-cannons consume less power than energy weapons and as a result, give off less heat. These weapons generally have a longer range than their energy counterparts. They fire from a magazine which automatically reloads when empty. Each multi-cannon that's been mounted, and is active, has its own pool of ammunition to supply it. | A multi-cannon is mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and needs assigning to a fire group before it can be used.
