Cannons
Introduction to cannons
What are Cannons?
Cannons are multiblock structures that when created, have the ability to fire explosive projectiles. Most cannons are used on movecraft ships, however some cannons are made explicitly to be used on their own. Cannons are vital for warfare, both for defense and attack.
Craft Cannons vs Land Cannons
Craft cannons and land cannons differ in their use-cases
Land cannons are placed in stationary positions, and are typically used to clear groups of enemy players, or as a counter to tanks.
Craft cannons are placed on movecraft ships, and are typically used for ship v ship combat. However, some craft cannon types provide anti-player options (such as 14-inch). However, crafts are limited by cannon limits.
