Cannons

Cannons are weapons used both on spacecraft and ground installations. Different cannons will have different firing arcs, different explosion damage, different shield damage, different firing speeds, different accuracy, different ranges, different ammunition requirements, and different effects.

# **Creating Cannons**

Different cannons will have different structures, and the cannon structure will be specified on the page of an individual cannon in the wiki. The cannon sign is the sign on the cannon that indicates what kind of cannon it is. The cannon sign will always be mounted onto a dispenser block. On the first line of the sign, put "Cannon" (without the quotes) and on the second line, put the name of the cannon type, for example "MediumCannon" (without the quotes). It should look something like this:

On the third line, writing a color from any of the following colors is optional. If nothing is written there, it will automatically use the default color of the specific cannon you are using when you fire it.

* Red
* Orange
* Yellow
* Green
* Aqua
* Blue
* Purple

# **Firing Cannons**

Firing cannons is extremely simple. Stand within 5 blocks of the cannon sign, and look where you want to shoot. Then left click while holding a bone. Some cannons will only allow you to fire them if they are on an active ship. Different cannons will also require different ammunition types. Pursuit Cannons for example require 2 Type B Tibanna Charges per shot in order to fire. Required ammunition will be specified in the individual page of a specific cannon on the wiki. Cannons can be linked together and fired remotely using Targeting Computers. Cannons cannot be fired while in Hyperspace or in Creative.
