{{quote|Cannons are better equipped to punch through the hull of larger and more robust ships compared to other weapons of similar size.|In-Game Description}} | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
The cannon is currently available in all three forms of fixed, gimballed and turreted versions. The projectile velocity for cannons is much slower than for [[Multi-cannon|multi-cannons]]. | |||
Fixed have the highest bullet speed, the bullet speed of turrented and gimballed is the same. | |||
==Munitions== | |||
Spent ammunition must be replenished once used. Any station equipped with a "Re-arm" service will be able to replenish ammunition. Once docked at the station, ammunition can be purchased from the Munitions menu in the Starport Services. | |||

This weapon can be modified by [[Engineers]] to enhance it's abilities. | |||
