~~They are used in the same way as lasers and take up a gun mounting. After firing, they take a few seconds to recharge. Two sizes are commonly available, imaginatively named 'Large' and 'Small'.~~

~~Even a Small~~ Plasma ~~Accelerator will destroy a well armed hundred tonne~~ ship ~~with~~ a ~~single shot~~.

Plasma Accelerators are mounted on one of your ship's hardpoints and need assigning to a fire group before they can be used. They are very large and powerful weapons. After firing, they take a few seconds to recharge. Two variants are commonly available, imaginatively named 'Large' and 'Small'.

~~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 kilometres~~, and ~~will deafen anyone unprotected in the vicinity~~.

In Elite: Dangerous the [[Anaconda]] is the only ship capable of fitting the plasma accelerator and currently costs a little over ~~700k Cr~~.

Military battleships, cruisers, and also battlestations, 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.

In Elite: Dangerous the [[Anaconda]] is the only ship currently available which is capable of fitting the plasma accelerator and the class 8 model currently costs a little over 700,000 CR.
