Guest Plat Mallar Posted September 9, 2000 Posted September 9, 2000 I have this huge disagreement with a friend of mine about how many Ion Cannons are on a Star Destroyer. I say there are 60, while he doesn't think there are any. The question was first posted in a question to the magazine PC Gamer. I was just hoping you guys could settle this ------------------ 9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm sane.
Guest Silencer Posted September 9, 2000 Posted September 9, 2000 There ARE ion cannons on an ImpStar, and I think 60 is correct. ------------------ Silencer What do you mean you depressed the button marked 'destruct'?
Keyan Farlander Posted September 9, 2000 Posted September 9, 2000 60 ions is what the stats say, though I don't think there are any on them in the X-wing games. ------------------ Keyan Farlander "The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers." - Bill Gates
Guest Plat Mallar Posted September 10, 2000 Posted September 10, 2000 Yes, they are included on SD's in XWA. I was playing a skirmish and one tryed to disable me. ------------------ 9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm sane.
Keyan Farlander Posted September 10, 2000 Posted September 10, 2000 Then why don't they show up in the target component list? Do they come out of the same guns as lasers? ------------------ Keyan Farlander "The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers." - Bill Gates

K_Kinnison Posted September 10, 2000 Posted September 10, 2000 in the XWA and all of the X-wing series. A turret (Capital ship hard point) is a duel role cannon, it can fire both TurboLasers, and Ions. but it only fires Ions when it is mission specific the WEG Imp scorcebook states that a ISD-I has 60 Turbo Lasers (20 front, 15 left and right, 10 back) 60 Ion cannons (20 front, 15 left and right, 10 Back) The ISD-II has 50 Heavy Turbolasers Batteries {4 in a turret} (20 front, 15 left and right) 50 Heavy Turbolaser cannons (20 front, 10 left and right, 10 back) and 20 Ion cannons (10 front, 5 left and right)
