A Weapon is a type of ship component used for damaging other ships.

Weapon types

There are three types of weapons: kinetic weapons, beam weapons, and missile weapons. Each type of weapon has a base range, cooldown and accuracy. Thus, each type is useful in particular combat situations. Each weapon type is countered by a specific type of defense, allowing for optimization of matchups. A different galactic resource is consumed to construct each type.
