General Information

An upgraded version of the Meson Cannon the Hyperon Turret is designed for taking down Frigate and Corvette Class. It has a much more efficent weapons systems, but for the construction cost a somewhat weaker armor.

Weapons Details

The turret weapons system is as its name suggest based on Hyperon particle projectiles. A 2 meter wide mini cyclotron with an eonium/crystal field accelerates Hyperon particles up to 3/4 c. The turret's trackin system is not as fast as the one found on Meson Cannons, but the targets it aims for are not as agile either.

Defence Details

This turret uses a metal/crystal self reinforcing liquid armor. This type of armor is excellent for stationary targets that do not travel at high velocity.

Notes

An excellent weapon for counter War Frigates and Black Widows. Note that this turret does a better job than the Meson cannon when it comes to killing Corvette class. It might be wise to try to destroy all enemy Frigate class ships to make sure that these turrets can aim for the Corvette class ships. previous next
