Unfortunately their poor accuracy, and slow speed make them useful only in close ranged battles.

Notes and Trivia[]
- Carronades cost points, rather then give points, if you seek to replace LaserBall Cannons with Carronades.
- Due to their obsolete status many civilian vessels are equiped with Carronade weaponry. This is another reason why Carronades are widely used by the pirate clans.
- Carronades were a type of smoothbore cannon used by the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom from the 1770s to the 1850s.
