Ok, since the "Turrets of Override" topic has been somewhat of a success (atleast for the phase turret. :)), here's one for the cannons.
The blaze cannon is one of the mos popular weapons you'll find in human space. Although its distance is limited, and it has a terrible reputation for being inaccurate, the weapon does boast an excellent rate of fire. When carried in numbers (take the United Earth Fighter for example), the blaze cannon proves to be a deadly wave to any fighters, and even a few capital ships. Cheap, lightweight, and maybe even made in the USA!
Phase Cannons are perhaps the most popular weapons in Override. They are found everywhere throughout the strand worlds, and every fighter making patrol runs around the crescent is sure to carry them. Many would agree that the phase weapon is the best forward-firing cannon in the game. Having an excellent rate of fire, very good range, and above-average damage rate, the phase cannon pleases all.
_Being the Voinian's chief energy weapon, the neutron cannon is the deadliest weapon of its type. Though the turreted version of the weapon is found sluggish and heavy on human vessels, this is not the case in the Voinian Empire. The Cannon version has extremely long range, at the cost of a slow rate of fire and extra weight. However, any ship that has the room to carry three or more of these weapons can easilly destroy any ship twice as fast as using any other energy weapon.
Since the Emalgha are a small and primative race, the only close-range weapon they have access to is this cannon, which fires large shells at short range. Although the Emalgha cannon performs as well as any other average energy weapon against shields, armor is a different story. This cannon was designed to do a great deal of damage to armor, and the Voinians live in dread of the weapon. The downside to the Emalgha cannon is its rather large size, short range, and slow rate of fire.
Well, that's all of them (all of the basic cannons, that is). After carefully deciding between the phase and neutron cannon, I'm going to have to throw a vote for the infamous Voinian menace, the neutron cannon. Great range and punch, just what I like. Come on and throw your vote, and give a reason or two if you like.

Captain Skyblade, there isn't really any difference between these two polls. All the information is really the same.
Phase cannon, and if you want a reason go look at "Turrets of Override".
------------------ "That's all very nice, but where's the guns?" - SilverDragon
If there wasn't much of a difference, then I would have voted for phase cannons, just like I did phase turrets on the other poll. And please note that I AM doing these polls for a reason...I need the data for some pages I'm designing for a website...

Sorry, but you're going to have to add the swivel phase cannons as choices. I give the Front Swivel Phase Cannon my vote. It has great range, and an advantage over every cannon in that you don't have to aim to fire. Great for the Azdaras and Arada pilots (like me). Plus, it weighs only six tons. The neutron cannon is a hefty fifteen.
------------------ Let's see...they're diamonds on wheels. Cool.

I'll go with the swivel phase cannon, too. It makes things a hell of a lot simpler when you get your first zippy fighter.

Phase Cannons beginning to make this another one-sided poll.
And anyone who reads and views this topic, please vote. I really need the info...
Skyblade, if you're making a website I'd be happy to put some reviews on ships/weapons for you.
Also, check your boards. I posted a story I've been writing.
Phase.
------------------ Why settle for a $3 pound of pork meat, when you can get up to 50+ pounds of human meat free? Visit (url="http://"http://pub101.ezboard.com/bstarbasedelta")Starbase Delta(/url) today! Or come to (url="http://"http://pub69.ezboard.com/bnewsatori")New Satori(/url), my new ezboard!
Neutron.
Do you fear the Neutron?

You must be like steel, strong and invulnerable, yet bending under certain circumstances." -Phoenix "That is called a droid decoy. This is called a trap. And I'm calling you dead." -Phoenix
Phase, for the same reasons as turrets.

Phase in the lead, with neutrons lagging behind...
Silver Dragon: Would you be up to that? Although I already have reviews on all the Escape Velocity ships, I may need you to write some for the Override ships if you don't mind. It would help me out...Thanks.
It's all about the neutrons!

Phase because its definitely one of the top primary weapons in Override, and also because it is with only the phase cannon that you can get the insanely useful swivel version (and no, that awful Emalgha turret doesn't count).
My opinion on turrets, however, is different. But that's another story, and another topic.

Well, I'd have to admit that I use 3 neutron cannons to fry my meals, and they're done preeety fast. Another for neutron.

Put another one down for neutron.
Yup, Neutron all the way.

Phase Cannons in the lead by one vote. This looks like it's going to be closer then I thought. This poll will end once we have one hundred votes placed...
Good luck getting that many...
