The thing on Taloraan that fires one bolt at a time? That's the ion cannon.

What's up with that 1 big torpedo the tie bomber gets one of the maps? Is that Ion or damage based?

in EFH the bomber uses ion missles by default (those blueish torpedoes) and if you press F once, you will have them launched in a 90° angle right below your bomber, press F again to ruturn to the first mode of fire. to look at it just press c often enough, so you can be in the chase-view and watch how it changes.

I didn't realize the missiles had an ion aspect, but they definitely do actual damage.

Guys, there is nothing Ion about the bombs on EFH, they are just blue bombs.

Thought so.

I absolutely love your sig. I'm a big fan of SG-1 and that episode was hilarious. When did you manage to find those clips?

I actually think that's the X key that changes firing mode, not F.

In EFH, you used to be able to get a bomber that fired red missiles, now you can only get blue ion cannon shots.

F key cycles weapons, but you only have the ion cannon in the Taloraan map. In Escape from Hoth, you only have ion bombs or whatever they are. The ion cannon is the one that fires only one shot at a time and has to reload, the bombs have a 'magazine' of several shots.

Also, if you shoot ion cannons and lasers at a target at the same time for a while, you will crash.

Very interesting. We need to test this further.
