DESCRIPTION
Not all starship upgrades are for the sake of dealing damage. Some people, like bounty hunters, Rangers, and even Jedi might be more inclined to combat hostile enemies with non-lethal weapon systems. This is not for those Jedi, Rangers, or even some Bountu Hunters who wish to take live prey. This is instead for those who wish to trim the mercy out of their vessel and turn it into an even more lethal predator.The strength of the lased cannon is deteremined by the ion cannon mounting it is replacing. Only a single canon will be put in place of a previous laser ion. This is because an Ion Cannon draws significant power compareed to ordinary laser cannons, which means the laser cannon itself would be a category higher than the ion cannon itself. Replacing a light ion cannon would give the user a medium laser cannon, and replacing a medium ion cannon would give the user a heavy laser cannon. Trying to replace a heavy ion cannon, however, would offer a separate payload replacement.
Alternatively there are people who would prefer quantity of weapons over quality. This means that if one would swap an ion cannon of a size, there would be two laser cannons of the same size replacing it. One light ion cannon would be replaced by two lights, one medium would be replaced by two medium laser cannons, and one heavy would be replaced by two heavy laser cannons.
LEGALITY
Restricted. Upgrading a ship's laser cannons beyond manufacturer specs is subject to permits and special licensing in much of the Galaxy.INTENT
I wanted to create a lethal upgrade that is friendly to those who wished to convert unwanted Ion weaponry to create a more lethal weapon loadout.
