Due to the similarities between the cannon and the [[Plasma Accelerator]], the cannon is a good weapon for people who cannot afford an 834k accelerator. Cannon ammunition is 20 credits per shot, which is 1/10th that of the Plasma Accelerator's.

Currently the cannon is available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions. Notably, this is the only weapon in the game that's availiable in all four sizes, from small to huge. The projectile velocity for cannons is much slower than for [[Multi-cannon|multi-cannons]] and for reasons unknown noticable slower than the plasma accelerator.

The projectile velocity for cannons is much slower than for [[Multi-cannon|multi-cannons]] and, for reasons unknown, noticeably slower than the plasma accelerator.


Projectile speed is: ~860m/s small cannon
Projectile speed is:
 
~860m/s small cannon


~610m/s medium cannon                  ~735m/s medium plasma
~610m/s medium cannon                  ~735m/s medium plasma
Line 16: Line 18:
~390m/s huge cannon                      ~670m/s huge plasma
~390m/s huge cannon                      ~670m/s huge plasma


note that the large plasma is for unknown reasons faster than the medium. Fixed, Gimbal or Turrent does not affect projektile speed.
