    So I have 6 cannons connected to a Weapons Computer. There are 2 groups of 3 cannons on each side.

    Now, this is the problem. Whenever I fire them, they don't seem to give a bonus. I got up close to a pirate ship in shop range and all my cannons did 25 damage (35 for one because I edited it that way) only. Is this supposed to happen? The wiki says three cannons adjacent to each other do 43 damage, not 25. Also I can swear the reload time is shorter than in the wiki either way.

    I think what you described is a simple glitch in connecting weapons to the computer.



    Go into build mode, highlight the computer with C and see if all your cannons are highlighted in purple. Chances are, they aren\'t. If so, then you can either click V on all cannons that arent connected OR you can click Shift+V on any unconnected group to automatically connect them all.



    The best way to build small arrays like yours is to first highlight the Weapons Computer before building any cannons and then make them with the computer still lit up ^^ That will make sure all cannons are connected live and grouped together.

    For very large arrays where lag is an issue, simply build everything as you want it then highlight the computer and click Shift+V on all groups of cannons you have.



    I hope this helps ^^

    Be aware that many MANY things on the wiki are out of date due to balance changes.
