Commentary

With a projectile speed of just under 6km per second the Alpha Kyon Emitter is incredibly accurate combined with a high fire rate making it highly effective for intercepting missiles and fast ships. For a small ship weapon it does superior hull damage compared to Particle Accelerator Cannons and Phased Repeater Guns with the low energy cost allowing for sustained fire by all ships able to equip it however the low shield damage is only about 50% better than that of an Impulse Ray Emitter making it less useful against heavily shielded targets. In X3: Albion Prelude the Alpha Kyon Emitter can only be obtained by claiming abandoned Kha'ak ships making them an extremely limited resource since unlike X3: Reunion where the Kha'ak had their own sectors and would periodically attack other sectors or X3: Terran Conflict where Kha'ak ships could be found in UFJD sectors, in X3: Albion Prelude the only Kha'ak ships found are among the random abandoned ships spawned at the start of the game. It is advisable to keep all owned Alpha Kyon Emitters in a centralised safe location for use on a Corvette (M6) if the player wants to fly one. The Alpha-Beta-Gamma nomenclature of this weapon series is a relic from X3: Reunion.
