A '''cannon''' is a projectile based weapon that fires a large calibre 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. | A '''cannon''' is a projectile based weapon that fires a large calibre round very similar to a current day howitzer.

Currently the cannon is available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions. The projectile velocity for cannons is slower than for [[multi-cannon]]s but slightly faster than the plasma accelerator. | Currently the cannon is available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions.
