Since this Ion Cannon I tought of is gaining some popularity. What do you think would be the best thing to put it on. Capital ships, or bomber turrets?

In the Star wars games it takes more then 1 hit to disable a ship in the Star wars x-wing,Tie fighter games you have to get the shield down before you disable. but of coruse those are fighter ion cannons. The platary Ion cannon that they used in Empire Strikes Back were desined to disable a cap ship with one hit. Star Destroyers have ion cannon as well as the Y-wing and B-wings star fighters but they are not as powerfully as the platary ion cannon but of course the Cap ship in FS dont have shilds well the Luisfer but thats only cap ship. the Star destroys hae laser turruts as well and the B-wing and the Y-wing have laser cannons.
i now alot about star wars i have read more then 25 books as well as study the star ship specs and wepown specs.

The destyors killed use and now were gone oh well. to bad for use

Well, I like the one shot idea...

But it would have to be a very slow moving, slow firing laser, like it heats up the turret so much it needs to cool down for a minute and a half before using again...

I've read 5 Star Wars books, but anyways.
If you modified the Terran Huge Turret or the Terran Turret it would work well. And for you guys who complain about it being too hard....Well...YOU SUCK!!!! The scariest ship in the whole game in the Aeolus Cruiser. And this is cause of all the beam turrets on it. The Juggernaut aren't scary, just a bitch to kill.

ANd you could put one on a bomber. It would make the bombers live longer.

The aeolus is the scariest for a fighter, not a capship

The scariest for a capship is definately the Sathanas, for now.
