Tech: Ion Pulse Cannon

Ion Pulse Cannon
Prerequisites: Ionic Weaponry Theory, Ion Cannon
Research Cost: Pending
Description
The ion pulse cannon fires a massive ion burst that expands outward from the cannon, disabling everything in its path.
The Ion particles seriously interfere with the operation of electronics and computer systems, shorting circuits and often disabling them outright, in much the same manner as an electromagnetic pulse. The actual physical damage will sometimes result in fused joints on machines, due to the heat produced.
