SPECIAL FEATURES

• Because of the sheer mass of the cannon it must be built into the ships core so it doesn't take too much power and destabilize the Core of the ship
• The ships firing sequence at full power can take around 20 minutes to an hour depending on how much power is available
• When the gun fires it can expand towards vessels in an area of effect potentially immobilizing ships in the area

STRENGTHS

• Powerful with the chance to take out multiple ships at once
• Advanced targeting computer with 71% accuracy
• ​Mobile cannon despite its size
• Able to house workers and prisoners inside of the structure

WEAKNESSES

• Slow to turn and takes a long time to power up and get a lock
• Consumes a large amount of power requiring a power grid of its own
• Easy to sabotage by disconnecting its system from the core
• Difficult to target and destroy smaller ships

Description
The Titan class Ion Cannon is appropriately named because of its massive size and devastating power. When its ready to fire it opens its barrels and lets forth a giant blue beam of energy blinding to the eye. Inside the super structure lies a brig, crew quarters, a power grid and even a cafeteria for troops. The Idea behind the cannon is to capitalize on the Idea of taking information rather than destroying it after the emperor doesn't want to rule a galaxy of dead men.

Okay, time for a review on this bad boy. I'll skip right to it.

Affiliation: The Sith Empire

You'll need to hyperlink this faction.

When the gun fires it explodes in an area of effect immobilizing ships in the area

This language needs to be softened to reflect Chaos' stance on pvp. I would include the word 'potentially' between effect and immobilizing.

Extremely powerful able to take out multiple ships at once

Extremely leery about this. You're clearly pushing it into the realm of a superweapon in the same vein as the Malevolence's ion cannons at the moment. I am going to ask you to scale this back a bit and again soften the language considerably if you want this to be approved.

Advanced targeting computer with 94.3% accuracy

Please lose the hard number at the end so as to give your opponent more flexibility in deciding if to take the hit or not. At the moment, you're saying they only have a 5.7% of avoiding being completely disabled. Making this, again, a clear candidate for superweapon.

Consumes a large amount of power

Requires an entire power grid of its own

These two weaknesses are so similar I would just go ahead and combine the two.

Ridiculously expensive to build

While this isn't actually a viable weakness, please remove.
