The primary weapon equipped by EDENCOM ships. Vorton Projector is considered a long-range weapon system with extremely long optimal range even with most short ranged ammo, probably intended to avoid chaining your own entities near your ship and other allies Vorton Projector users.

Inconsistently, the Meta Level of all Vorton Projectors is 0 in the Compare Tool. Compact and Scoped variants are Meta 0 too despite ~~other~~ variants of other weapon systems using Meta 1 to 4.

'''Tech 2 ~~condenser packs~~'''

'''Tech 2 Condenser Packs'''

Marketed under the '''Ultra''' brand, T2 condenser packs can only be used with Tech 2 and Faction Vorton Projectors. ElectroPunch Ultra is higher damage, shorter range ammo compared to BlastShot & GalvaSurge, while SnipeStrike exceeds MesmerFlux and SlamBolt in range and damage. Both types of ultra condenser packs increase capacitor need by 25% and reduce explosion velocity by 25%.

EDENCOM ships, Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, Vorton Tuning Systems, and related skill books are solely available from LP store of DED as BPC. Tech 2 BPC of them (if any) are only available from [[invention]]. Their production involves abyssal materials, and they are generally expensive.

Tech 2 BPC of them (if any) are only available from [[invention]]. Their production involves abyssal materials, and they are generally expensive.

Vorton Projectors, Condenser Packs, and Vorton Tuning Systems are known for their odds in item cost that their Tech 1 items are incredibly expensive compared to their corresponding Tech 2 items. All Tech 1 Condenser Packs are 4 times more expensive than Tech 2 Condenser Packs of the same size. Due to the low price to use Tech 2 items, Tech 2 items are mostly the most cost-effective option to use. Tech 1 variants are somehow ridiculously expensive to buy due to very few capsuleers manufacturing them since Tech 2 items are better.

The odds are largely caused by the invention, and for Condenser Packs, their invention increase BPC runs and does not consume corresponding T1 items, and uses a different set of ingredients.
