Ion cannons are also limited by a low fire rate at one volley per six seconds and multiple weapon emplacements or shields must be provided to ensure complete protection from orbital attacks and planetary landings.

One thing that assault frigate has an advange over ion cannon is their superior turning rate so if an lone ion cannon frigate is faceing an assault frigate, that ion cannon frigate is usualy dead IF a big IF the person controling the assault frigate knows about its superior turning rate and actualy mircomanage it.
You might say hey the damage from the plasma cannon are lower than the turrets but if you take in consderation of its mass plus the extra damage it provides it would push the assault frigate into the four thousand point of damage per min to five thousands, much better than the support frigate.
Now that’s an massive upgrade from the assault frigate class vessel, big time upgrade in damage an lone ion cannon frigate would be able to vaporize an assault class frigate with 16,000 health in two min max to about one point seven min.

About the Ion Cannon thing: the IC is an orbiting cannon that hits its target instantly and the beam cannot be redirected to other targets without firing again.
The General's Particle Cannon is a ground-based cannon that fires a slower particle-based beam (not ion-based; at least not directly) at an orbiting mirror continuously, allowing it to hit multiple targets in one charge, if at the expense of damage.
Well, the Ion Cannon was allways more like a "beam shot" while the particle uplink cannon is a constand beam, which is what the beam on this poster looks like IMO.
