• Dead in the water - This ion cannon does exactly what it is supposed to do - disrupt technology and overwhelm shields. With the power that this cannon hits, there's not much that will be able to defend against it for long.
  
  
• Barely felt it - With a reinforced Recoil Deflector, this cannon has much less recoil than one would expect from its size and the power of its damage output.
  
  
• Compatible - With improved technology, the ion cannon can link up with almost any targeting and scanning systems without any hassle, causing for much more precise firing.

• Power consuming - The whole package of this cannon coupled with the energy-consuming ammunition uses large amounts of power to operate. Continuous firing can really do a number on any power grid - be it on a ship or on the ground.
  
  
• Bulky - This cannon can take up some space - especially on ships. It's not meant to be mounted en masse like laser cannons, but more for statement weaponry.
  
  
• Not a killer - As this is an ion cannon, it is meant to stun and disable technologies, not deal physical damage. For most effective use, this cannon should be used in conjunction with other, more offensive weaponry.

Another cannon designed by Anja Doreva and manufactured by Doreva Industries to continue with its modernisation, this Ion Cannon follows its Mass Driver counterpart from the factories on Rothana.

While still a fairly straightforward ion cannon, this weapon boasts improved technologies that enables it to be much more compatible and precise than many of its competitive counterparts along with immense disabling capabilities.

Despite its size and power draining weaknesses, this cannon is a boon for any defensive or offensive system, especially when coupled with more offensive weaponry that would follow up once the ion cannon had done its work.

Very cool sub again! Before I accept, I would like to ask you to reword this part, because it is too absolute, and always the opponent decide how the attacks affect them.

It will eventually immobilise all but the most advanced of technologies.

MANIAC I removed it. When I wrote that, I had a feeling it may be an issue but took a chance So I'd rather just remove it entirely.
