Enhanced AX Multi-cannon

Rapid-fire projectile weapon on a gimballed mount. It fires small-calibre shells tipped with a compound hazardous to Tharoig vessels. These are especially useful against exposed Thargoid Interceptor hearts. This enhanced version grants improved damage output to each projectile. There is a limit of 4 experimental modules per vessel.

— In-Game Description

The Enhanced AX Multi-cannon is a variant of the AX multi-cannon created by Aegis. Turreted, Fixed and Gimballed variants were introduced in various Community Goals during the Thargoid war, respectively on 07 Dec. 3308, 14 Dec. 3308 and 27 Dec. 3308. They offer slightly increased damage and significantly improved projectile speed in excahnge of virtually no drawback compared to their respective regular variant. All Enhanced AX Multi-cannons are available in both Class 2 and Class 3 versions, and can be purchased at the outfitting of Rescue Ships.

Similarly to the regular variant, the Enhanced AX Multi-cannon is designed primarily for combat against Thargoid ships, and consequently deals less damage against conventional human ships than a standard Multi-cannon.
