Building: Ion Cannon

Limit Per Planet: 10000

A powerful anti ship weapon that can be built in great numbers on a base.

Useless against fighters, assault pods and armored ground assaults. A hit from an ion cannon can
damage and enemy ship or knock a ship away from the base.

All Ion Cannons have a generator that produces energy that is used for base defence. The following
structures generate energy:

Ion Cannons 1 gw each
Cities 1 gw each
Anti Air Guns 0.5 gw each
Factories 0.05 gw each

Gen = ioncannon city + factory / 20 + antiair / 2

Bases all start combat with E gw of energy reserves
E = Gen X 100

Every 3rd combat tick the base gains ( Gen X 2 ) units of energy

By default Anti Aircraft Guns use 10 gw of energy per shot

By default Ion Cannons use 100 gw of energy per shot
