Blueprint details for Cannon - Short range

Auto Loader

An experimental upgrade that automatically reloads the weapon, even when firing.

Dispersal Field

Experimental upgrade that causes successful strikes to temporarily confuse all gimbal and turret hardpoints on the target, at the cost of direct damage potential.

Double Braced

Additional, hardened supports and bracing further improve module survivability.

Flow Control

Advanced software and internal sensors regulate energy flow more efficiently, reducing module power draw.

Force Shell

A modification to allow firing of low explosive shells, designed to generate a propelling blast. Strikes to a target are capable of forcing ships off course, at the cost of shot accuracy.

High Yield Shell

Modified munitions that convert a portion of damage to explosive, capable of hitting multiple internal modules if the attack breaches the hull, at the cost of a reduced fire rate.

Multi-servos

Additional servomechanisms and controller software allow the weapon to safely fire at an increased rate, at the cost of increased power draw.

Oversized

Scaled up components and reinforced munitions housing allows the weapon to pack more of a punch, increasing damage at the cost of increased power draw.

Smart Rounds

Friend or foe targeting upgrade that causes rounds to self-destruct before damaging ships that are not currently targeted.

Stripped Down

Key components replaced with versions crafted from lightweight materials and all extraneous parts removed entirely to reduce mass.

Thermal Cascade

Experimental munitions that interact with shields upon detonation, generating significant heat on the target.
