Weapons

There are three types of weapons in the game:

Beam weapons - energy weapons which have unlimited ammo

torpedoes - projectile weapons which use ordnance

fighters - small agile ships which are launched from fighter bays

Each weapon type is described in more detail in its own section. Important things to note are:

1. All weapons must recharge in between operations. For beams and tubes this means in between shots; for fighter bays this means in between launches.

2. A ship can have either torpedo tubes or fighter bays but never both.

3. A planet with defence posts always has beams and fighters. It may or may not have torpedo tubes as well, depending on your host configuration.

4. A planet with no defence posts has no weapons at all.
