Planetary Ion canon of the Rebels vs Black Sun Hyper Velocity Gun
I am currently in the middle of my playthrough of the Black Sun in galactic conquest.

After having fought a couple of space battles with a hyper v gun on my side aswell as encountered a rebel ion canon, I have to say that the Black Sun planetary weapon seem to be utterly useless, especially comparing it to the rebel one.

The hyper v gun missed all shots in one battle, aiming for a Quasar carrier and for a dreadnought cruiser. In an other battle it did hit a bigger mon calamari ship but then it die only some damage to a hard point (not even taking out that single one) and that was it.

Now lets look at the rebel ion canon. When it hits my Venators/Providence/Munificent/Recusant/Acclamator class ships it takes out almost always the shields in one shop or at least most of it. After the shields are down the gun continues to deal a lot of damage to the hard points or in case of smaller ships the entire thing (at times even one shots them)

I am not sure if the Ion canon should do more than taking down shields very effectively, as I think it did in the past or in other mods.

And most importantly please fix the Black Sun hyper v gun. Don't know if I just had bad luck, but for me its just a waste of credits and the slot.

Medium ships like Dreadnaught heavy cruiser and faster big ships like the mc80 freedom can dodge either if they move in the right way at the right time, slower ships like an ISD or even slower medium ships are much more easy targets.

We're aware the HV gun is underpowered, fairly happy with the ion cannon though.
