Ion turrets are unique manual weapons that disrupt systems in an 8x8 cube around where their shots impact. This disruption disables thrusters in the area for 5 seconds, reducing cruise speed for a time. This mechanic has no effect on ships using direct control. Ion turret projectiles are very slow and also deal a modest amount of shield damage, and minimal hull damage. Ion turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret].

Minimum block count: 13500 for Cruisers

Arsenal Missile Launchers fire arsenal missiles, highly accurate guided projectiles that deal massive damage to area shields. They have modest explosion damage, and minimal shield damage. They can be fired much like any other heavy weapon, however they require the player to select the weaponset assigned to the missiles and perform /targetposition [x] [y] [z]. They are best used to assault area-shielded structures such as ground bases, stations, and BDPs. A node sign can be placed on the note block. Consumes 1 Arsenal Missile per shot.
