Multi-cannon: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

Multi-cannons also have a hidden attribute: a firing delay as they "spin-up". When the trigger is pushed, the weapons will not fire for a short amount of time while they reach the rotational speed required. If the trigger is released during this time, they will spin down without having fired. This means they are better at sustained fire rather than shorter bursts. Spin-up delay is minor but increases with the class of the weapon, with Class 3 having a notably longer delay. This may make Class 3 Multi-cannons less effective against small, nimble ships that allow for minimal time on-target.

The Class 4 Multi-cannon is notably different in that it fires higher calibre shells at a slower rate, rather than an stream of projectiles (see note below). They also have substantially better armour piercing capability, and do not have spin-up delay.

The Class 4 Multi-cannon is notably different in that it fires higher calibre shells at a slower rate, rather than a constant stream of projectiles (see note below). They also have substantially better armour piercing capability, and do not have spin-up delay.
