Solar cannon

The strongest gun in the game: the highest attack, strongest shield and thickest hull of all guns – at the highest price.

Solar cannon

The solar cannon is the crown of your defense. In attack, shield and hull it beats every other gun. In return, it requires a high weapons factory, Energy technology level 10 and Targeting systems level 10.

  • + A single solar cannon has as much attack as two laser cannon batteries.
  • + Even very strong ship shields can hardly withstand it.
  • – Very expensive, especially in kryptonite.
  • – Less firepower for its price than the Interval cannon or the Laser cannon battery.
Background

A new kind of weapons technology emerged with the creation of destructive solar weapons. And that's why the solar cannon just can't be beat: No ship's armor can withstand its power. Its range and accuracy are not very high, because its solar beam can be marginally deflected by solar radiation. That's why it is mostly used on the shadow side of the planet for the best effect.
