======Cannon======

{{  http://www.battlestations.info/art/cannon.jpg|cannon}}
**Blast Cannon** (default mode)\\
__Difficulty__: Target's distance + target's speed\\
__Damage__: (Energy in Gun)D6

**Laser Cannon** \\
__Difficulty__: (Target's distance/2) + target's speed\\
__Damage__: (Energy in Gun/2)D6

**Multi Barrel Cannon**\\
__Difficulty__: Target's distance + target's speed\\
__Damage__: 1D6\\
__**Note**__: Can be fired every phase, does not accumulate Used markers.

**What happens on a successful cannon attack**\\
  - Roll on the hit location table.  Any result that doesn't intersect with at least one module on the enemy ship means the cannon missed.
  - Roll damage dice.  The highest die affects the first module.  The successively smaller dice affect modules behind it.
  - Each 1-3 on a die causes characters in the module to take 1D6 damage.  Each 4-6 on a die causes characters to take 2D6 damage and the module to get a broken marker.
  - Hull damage to the ship equals the sum of all the dice that hit modules, plus the number of dice that did not hit modules.

====Notes====
Module must have an outer facing.  Open sides on the module increase its arc of fire for non-Tentac ships.  Cannons can shoot missiles.

A cannon fired in standard or long-distance mode gains a used marker and cannot be fired in either mode if the module has a used marker. A Cannon fired in multi-barrel mode does not gain used markers, and may be fired even if that module already has a used marker. [p35] [FAQ]

A cannon fired in any mode can be converted to any other mode in the same round. [YG 2498]

A cannon that is converted may not fire again in the round that it is converted. [YG 2498]

A cannon can start a mission in any mode specified by the heroes unless the mission states otherwise. [YG 2498]

**Shields**
Cannons are affected by shields.  Roll damage dice+shield dice and remove the shield number of highest dice.
