Yes

is this still up, to date

Ok, so the forum's not showing any images because all of the discord link embeds I used apparently "expired" due to some change discord made. The original images are fine and backed up; I'm trying to find an alternate image host that isn't paid or expires, but I might end up having to link to a mediafire folder or something.

Oh dang, you're still active. I was just hoping for a mirror, but yeah if you can fix it, that's great. Thanks.

Huh, looks like something happened to the forum's image system. I'll look into that, but really I just need to get around to remaking the guide for steam and get more up-to-date images anyway.

Is there a version of this that has working images?

Ion Cannons just work. Prisms only redirect them, or merge the beams, but a broadside of Ion Cannons is perfectly viable. Also, unlike Railguns, Ion beams going into prisms can target just about anything, and can be protected by armor and structure/slopes, instead of having to rely on shields to do the defense.

holy cow! amazing.

Ion Cannons in this game look cool! Though... if I ever figure out how to play this game and not die at the beginning, i'm more likely to end up Team Railgun. I LOVE Railguns... though I hope they don't hard die to Flak and Point Defense Lasers...

Curiosity: Are lone Ion Cannons working by themselves and not bothering to work together with Prisms viable, or are they pointless compared to just stickin with Lasers...?
