Maelstrom cannon bonus damage calculation

[Seduna]

Is the bonus damage of the Maelstrom cannon based on the power of the Target?
My high-powered Cruisers only deal about 250 bonus damage with the Maelstrom cannon to little Corvettes, but receives about 1000 Damage from them.

Edit: Never mind. It happened in PvP battles, so I can't be sure about their equipment. I guess some high resistance armor. But what other weapon can shoot at a whole collum with a normal attack?

Yes, that cannon is based on the power of the target. I had the same question myself and here is what I did. In facing the same opponents ( PvP and PvE) I used one cannon (3total) among 3 different ships each with vastly different power levels. The resulting bonus dmg to the same enemy was the same.

Thanks. I hope they clarify that in the description, or change it so that it is based on the ship actually using it.
