This is the ultimate point-and-shoot weapon - but you've got to be pretty close to your target. Like the napalm cannon, the omega's range is relatively short; however, the trade-off is extreme, with the omega cannon draining enemy and human ship shields in a matter of seconds.
Drain enemy shields and boost your own with the omega cannon.

One of the unique properties of the omega cannon is that as it sucks shield units off of enemy bots and human players, it adds these to your own reserves. Thus, the omega cannon is almost like a glorified (and really cool) energy-to-shield converter.
Though powerful, the omega cannon comes with risks. The close-range aspect ensures that the enemy will likely have some shots on you before you engage full bore with this weapon. If those shots are with powerful weapons, you might find yourself destroyed before the fun even starts. Still, if you can wiggle your way close enough to the enemy, be it computer-controlled or human, the omega cannon is a sure-fire way to annihilate any opponent in seconds and boost your own stability as well. Unlike some weapons mentioned previously, you should use the omega cannon against single foes before attempting to take out an entire room with one. Often in multiplayer games, if someone sees you using the omega cannon, he's going to do everything in his power to take you out - if anything, so he can gain the shield-sucking power.
