I was wondering if there is a compiled list of weapons and the primary type of damage they cause? For Example: Corellian Ion Cannon

Primary use is todamage the starship's systemsto disable the entire ship.....or something like that.

Traditionally, ion cannons were used to disable ships by frying internal components but not damaging a possibly-salvagable frame (or in the case of we Imperials, not destroying evidence). In SWG, they decimate shields, which essentially disables a ship, because once the shields are down, the armor cracks like a soft-boiled egg.

Well there are 3 types of weapons: the blaster, ion cannon, and the disruptor. Here are the differences:


The blaster does equal damage to both shields and armor.

The Ion Cannon does more damage to shields and less to armor.

The Disruptor does less damage to shields and more to armor.

They typically do their separate damages, but I've seen looted ion cannons that do equal damage to shields and armor, looted blasters that act like disrupters, andother such irregular behavior with looted weapons. When it comes to shipwright weapons, however, they act as they are supposed to, albeit not as effectively as their looted counterparts.
