As it says on the tin. Precision sniping with artillery = win, and using it for skirmishing is challenging but fun. Makes me think back to Star Control II. I love how it gets less useful, but then the lower-tier Ares ships start appearing and they are vulnerable to it. Getting a lot of mileage out of it every time I loot/buy one, especially if it appears really early on.
Easily one of my favorite weapons, great equalizer.

If you love something, tweak it and twist it. Keep bending it until it breaks. Rip it apart, remix it, rebuild it. Kill your darlings and stitch them together again.

Oh, I've GOT to remember that, could come in handy. Besides, I already spend most of my time flying backwards in this game ;D

yeah RPC, I often used it(uses two weapon slots) but it would be fun if there's an omni Mark III so blasting Sungs, Dwarg Masters, Ventaris(yeah!!!) and Ares missileships more exciting.RPC wrote:turreted Mark III... TheLastBrunnenG made a dual omni Mark I in his 400+ weapons mod...

There is an omni Mark III (I'm unsure of a Mark V but I'm pretty sure a look at the code will suffice), but it's really rare and by that time I was dealing with early ion damage.

My Hoshigami new ships mod has a Dual Howitzer that may work like MK3 Howitzer.
Get as many hexagine (spelling?) boosters as you can lay hands on and get the rapid cannon loader-that thing makes most enemies lives hell
I've never used it to fly,but it comes in handy when you have a foe who's just enough to splatter you and you get your propulsion juuust right to stay out of their range and use the cannon to keep it that way while pummeling them senseless.
