Lord Pickle Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I was wondering if anyone knows if the ion cannon permanently disables the ships it hits. Because I was playing the campagn as the empire and it looked like my VSD that were disable never got "unfrozen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The Ion Cannon will disable ships temporarily. Though the disable effect does last for a significant amount of time. Very deadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbas WhOr3 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I found it also wipes their shields fully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orao Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yep but in Rebel campaign when I hit the imperial detroyers with the ion cannon they are still firing. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconhurst Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm really having a problem using ion cannons in one of the rebel missions trying to disable the imperial shuttles. I bring in my Y-wings, click the Ion cannons, target the shuttles -- and nothing. The Y-wings seem to have a mind of their own. Even when targeted to go one way, they frequently chase objects going in other directions contrary to my orders. I push the ion cannon button and target shuttles and absolutely nothing happens. Nothing is disabled -- nothing. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. I've played the scenario 4 or 5 times but have never been able to disable a single shuttle. I've done all the tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakatomi2010 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 In other news, unless I'm mistaken, the planetary Ion canon disables shields, engines and SOME of the ships defenses. It'll still shoot back, just no where near as effective as if it could move.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{DHU}Screed Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The blasted thing disables VSD totally, except the Hangar still spits out Ties. Too bad the AI is too dumb to capitalize on this and I usually can push forward with the main fleet leaving the disabled VSD behind to recover on its own.
