Liberty Siege Cruiser weapon question

[kikatsu]

I'd have to agree, however the inner workings of the cannon are not really talked about

Liberty mainly uses laser and plasma weapons, and from what I can see, this thing is neither. It does appear simmilar in looks to the Liberty engines...I think it was said that those were ion engines, and it is not unreasonable to connect the two

what's worth noting though, in singleplayer it did fire in a stream, but a 'pulse' of energy would travel down the glowing guide rings every moment or two...doing the actual damage.... I assume that those rings around the gun and the glowing rings in space funnel the main weapons energy to where it has to go
