Gauss Cannon
Gauss Cannons supply high single-shot defense damage.
Base statistics
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural integrity | 75,000 |
| Shield | 500 |
| Attack | 2,500 |
These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Defenses remain at the station where they are built.
Construction
| Resource | Base cost per unit |
|---|---|
| Metal | 50,000 |
| Crystal | 25,000 |
| Deuterium | 5,000 |
Requirements: Shipyard 6.
Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer.
Use and limitations
Their major weakness is Bomber rapidfire 200. They need Shipyard 6, without the old Weapon, Shield or Energy research prerequisites. High raw attack alone does not make them the best defense against every fleet.
Rapidfire received from
| Attacker | Value |
|---|---|
| Bomber | 200 |
| Deathstar | 75 |
Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
