Xeno Disintegrator Cannon

"Short range weapon used by the Xeno Division with built in armor plating to increase ship durability in combat."

General
The Xeno Disintegrator Cannon is an advanced version of the Disintegrator Cannon with superior damage, built-in range increase and deals Alien Damage, taking on a green coloration instead of yellow in combat.

Advantages
Xeno Disintegrator Cannons have decent damage output in addition to the extra armor provided, an all-round improvement to your ships. They are much more mass efficient than regular Disintegrator Cannons.

They do not require any specials to extend their range unlike the regular and heavy variants, freeing up a special slot and saving some mass.

Disadvantages
Xeno Disintegrator Cannons have poor firepower compared to other Xeno weapons such as the Xeno Cluster Missile, limiting the maximum offensive capability of your ships. Then again, cruisers are supposed to be tanks, not damage dealers.
