There are behavioral similarities between cannons and [[Plasma Accelerator|plasma accelerators]] (both fire slow moving projectiles at a slow rate of fire). However, the plasma accelerator deals both thermal and kinetic damage, a fraction of which is absolute, meaning it negates the resistances on the target's shield or hull to deal full damage. In exchange, accelerators are dramatically less efficient, and serve as a less-specialized primary weapon. | There are behavioral similarities between cannons and [[Plasma Accelerator|plasma accelerators]] (both fire slow moving projectiles at a slow rate of fire).

On the whole, Cannons are a powerful weapon type if used correctly, but require a carefully-designed build and significant player skill to shine. | |||
