Love the ion cannon except the arcing that is visable in the ion blast....to me it makes much more sense that the arcing would occur once the blast hits something metal...however you know me whatever you come up with for the final is going to be fine....

Maybe it's like Chewie's bowcaster, which supposedly fires a projectile, and there is arcing around the object? Just offering a geeky explanation there. :p

I dunno, I like the arcing because it sets it apart as a special kind of energy/weapon. Otherwise, it would just look like a regular laser, colored blue.
