Description

Laser Cannons are developed from mining lasers. Consume very much energy and cause extreme heat, but a single shot deliver similar damage than a series of beam lasers.

Short ranged (5 - 15km) and has low fire rates (0.5 - 3 seconds/shot) so must aim carefully.

Fit into large ships only, over 130t like a Cobra Mark III. The largest cannon need a ship over 400t like an Anaconda.

Always check the distance of your target! Don't waste a shot when over the range of your cannon!

All cannons can break apart asteroids as Mining lasers.

Small Cannons

Kruger CRM38 Mining Cannon

The cheapest laser cannon ever made. Ideal for mineral extraction with single shots from point-blank range (5km) due to deliver double damage than the common Mining Laser. Slow to use in combat and not so cooled for this cost.

Ingram 3838C8 Laser Cannon

Short range (5km) laser cannon both for mining and defence. Perform similarly with a Beam Laser in combat but can mine asteroids also.

Hassoni C38 Dual Cannon

Two Laser Cannons in alternation mode result double firing rate, as fast as a Pulse Laser but hit 8x harder. The range is short (5km), need a lot of energy and the heat is going up fast but perform well in dogfight due to the large damage - can do the double than a Beam Laser in each seconds.


Military Cannons

Lance & Ferman Military Cannon

You can make your career as a famous bounty hunter with this weapon - one shot can clear 3 energy banks! Provide longer range (10km), use less energy and contain better coolers than a Laser Cannon but heat up faster than a Blunderbuss. Can mine large asteroids with a single shot.

LF38 Twin Military Cannon

The biggest laser cannon both in damage, range (10km) and power consumption, as predictable from two Military Cannons linked to fire together. Aim carefully and run when a white beam incoming. Provide easy mining from large asteroids but the size of the heatsink is reduced in this type so overheats right at the first shot. Need at least an Anaconda (>400t mass) to hold it.

Ergon A38 Blunderbuss Cannon

Powerful laser contain quad Mining Cannons, each two linked to fire together both for double damage and fire rate. Short ranged (5km) but as fast and strong as a Military Cannon, moreover use less energy and produce less heat to get an exceptional combat performance. Better in dogfight than the well known Military Laser.

Volt V38 Vulcan Cannon

This fearsome weapon is the longer and energy saver variant of the Dual Cannon to get the highest fire rate and range (15km) in cannons, although a shot do less damage than a Military Cannon. Produce the best damage/heat in the Ooniverse but the large cooling system fit into Pythons (>250t) only.
