Ion cannon

The shield specialist among the early guns: well armored, paid for mostly with kryptonite – and strong against warships and starcruisers.

The ion cannon has as much shield as attack. It is paid for mostly with kryptonite and hardly any metal. That makes it the perfect partner for metal-heavy installations like the Mortar and the Turbo flak.

+ The strongest shield of all guns for its price.
+ Bonus damage against the Warship and the Star cruiser.
– Rather low firepower for its price, and the Warship deals bonus damage to the ion cannon in return.

Background

The ion cannon is particularly useful against warships and star cruisers. Its targeting system uses the strong heat signal of their rocket engines and the diffusion engine class 1 as target.
