Cannon: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

A '''cannon''' is a projectile based weapon that fires a large caliber round very similar to a current day howitzer. It uses ammunition and therefore will need to be replenished every so often although your ship is capable of carrying a very large amount of reserve ammunition making restocking not a constant priority. The cannon fires explosive shots that detonate on impact, dealing considerable damage to the targeted subsystem and the systems around it.

Due to the similarities between the cannon and the plasma accelerator, the cannon is the perfect weapon for people who cannot afford a 834k accelerator. Although the ammunition price is the same at about 200 credits per shot.

Due to the similarities between the cannon and the [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Accelerator plasma accelerator], the cannon is the perfect weapon for people who cannot afford a 834k accelerator. Although the ammunition price is the same at about 200 credits per shot.

Currently the cannon is available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions.

Currently, the projectile velocity (how fast the projectile travels, not how rapid the weapon can fire) for cannons is slower than for [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Multi-cannon multi-cannons] but slightly faster than for the [http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Plasma_Accelerator plasma accelerator].
