70 mm Shotgun Cannon Use

Check the shotgun cannon entry when the build needs close defensive burst instead of sustained autocannon fire.

70 mm Shotgun Cannon Loadout Risk

The shotgun cannon punishes bad spacing: after one shell, a reload window opens while enemies can board or damage modules.

70 mm Shotgun Cannon Before Departure

Load 70 mm Shells, keep the gun facing expected boarding pressure, and leave room for the gunner to reload without blocking repairs.
