Class-2 directed energy cannon: Difference between revisions

The Twin Plasma Cannons are directed energy weapons capable of firing automatic bursts of superheated plasma (in the 100-250 kW range). They are very powerful weapons against [[energy shields]], but aren't as effective against flesh. Its major advantage is its rapid rate of fire: 450 to 600 projectiles per minute, making it effective against light armored vehicles and infantry, but not against heavy armored vehicles.

It uses energy from the power core of the vehicle where it is mounted, but one disadvantage is that it cannot be fired while the vehicle's boost is engaged. In addition, the bolts have a stun effect, allowing it to destroy "stronger" vehicles, such as tanks, as they cannot turn fast enough to face the attacker. This, paired with the Ghost's evasive prowess, makes it a common maneuver against all vehicles (including other Ghosts).
