Particle Cannon

== Description ==
The Particle Cannon works by accelerating a short burst of particles to near-relativistic speeds. When mounted on a ship that can turn fast enough to keep it trained on approaching ships, it becomes a nearly unbeatable weapon, capable of destroying smaller ships before they can even approach close enough for their comparatively short-ranged weapons to be effective.
== Outfitters ==
The Particle Cannon can be purchased at the following ports:
* Geminus, Castor
* Ada, Aldebaran
* Hermes, Capella
* Shroud, Alheka
== Information ==
The Particle Cannon is a versatile weapon with long range and high accuracy. It also generates slightly less heat than the other upgraded weapons (Plasma Cannon and Proton Gun), but still can make use of extra liquid cooling systems. These three weapons allow the pilot to get significantly more damage of the limited firing ports available.
As mentioned by its description, the Particle Cannon is best used as a sniping weapon, attacking enemies from outside their own firing range to pre-empt a counterattack. The Particle Cannon also has a high hit force for a primary weapon, which can throw small ships off course and prevent the target from maintaining a stationary enough position to flee the system via Hyperdrive or Jump Drive.
