The Particle Cannon is a great attack weapon for protecting your planet. Although it has the weakest attack of all of the defenses, it does not have a cooldown period. This weapon does have the highest range available. Against more sophisticated ships, this weapon has trouble penetrating shields, but when the shields are down, this can be a great attack weapon.
