Medium Plasma Cannon

The Medium Plasma Cannon is a medium weapon and the intermediate variant of Plasma Cannon.

Overview
The Medium Plasma Cannon deals good burst damage at very long ranges; like all Plasma Cannons, its rounds are fired at very high velocity with little deviation allowing it to hit reliably in the hands of a capable gunner. Compared to the Medium LaserBall Cannon, the Medium Plasma Cannon reloads slightly slower and deals less damage to sails, but deals greater damage against other materials, especially strong materials such as iron. This weapon works well on small ships allowing them to slowly whittle down larger ships from a safe distance.
