I'm still kinda new to the game and just got this card in the slave 1 box. Can anyone explain it's use to me?

The 2 ships i have that i'd consider using cannons on are the firespray 31 and tie defender. Both have a primary weapon value of 3. If i pay 7 points which seems seriously expensive what advantage do i get?

At range 1 i'm rolling 4 dice anyway and can keep crits, Range 2 & 3 at least i get an extra attack dice over primary weapons but with the loss of crits and a 7 point tax i can't see how this could be worth it?
