I'n telling you! Look, there, to the right of the rightmost firing cannon, there is a black spot that looks like another cannon.

And, also, it could be concluded if there are four cannons on this side, there are four on the other.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

Pfft, like 8 cannons on an airship is anything to brag about.

Now, you start getting up towards twelve, and it might be worth looking at the ship's specs more carefully rather than simply dismissing it.

You know, I think I may as well design a space ship that has 40 cannons just for the heck of it. I just would need to figure the proper balance. :lol:

Deny the truth, but you know it to be true! Your crazy Four Cannons notion is outdated! A new world is out there, one that is willing to put, eight, twelve, maybe even sixteen cannons on one ship!

You guys are forgetting the 100 or so Mutilated Monstrosities that serve on it.

It's not firing, what is the fricking point of a cannon if it's not firing? There are four cannons, but that last one is ornamental... I looked at that card and said "SHOOT THE THING DUMBASSES!"

They are doing a Strafing Run on the Skyshroud, the fourth Cannon is waiting till it is in Range of the Target to fire.

Predator is meant for hit and Runs

Going with a particular logic that states "the picture was taken when the cannon was exactly in the midst of reloading" makes picture seem so much more logical. Either that or the barrel got clogged.

IMPERIALIST LIES! They may put more, but, like a delicate spice, their cannons ruin the work, betraying the ship, its maker, and even reason itself.

You CANNOT add upon perfection to better it! Those foolish designers, drunk upon their own hubris, think they can ever hope to improve upon this?

I think it's recharging.

Which brings us to the point of fire rate.

Does it work on a rotation where there are four cannons of which three are firing at a time?

Or do they simply all go until they stop and that one burnt out first?

Umm if Weatherlights cannons are any indication They Can overheat if fired to much, but it takes a minute or so of straight Fire to do it.

Edit : Actually Predator might need to Recharge, I think it runs off regular Powerstones instead of the Serra-Stone that Light used, enough drain could cause a huge problem.

The Ship is run by Phyrexians, they ain't got goobers to scratch.

It's not how many cannons, it's what you shoot out of it
