'''Starship weapons''' are used to deal damage to other starships, players, and entities.
[[Light Weapons]] are fired by left clicking with a controller. Multiple light weapons can be fired at once if you are not using [[weaponsets]] and [[nodes]] to control which weapons fire.
[[Heavy Weapons]] are fired by right clicking with a controller after a brief charge-up delay. Only one type of heavy weapon can be fired at a time, so ships with multiple heavy weapons must control them using weaponsets and nodes. Attempting to fire more than one weapon will jam the systems.
Turrets can fire in any direction that they have line of sight in. All turrets except for the [[Tri Turret]] are light weapons. [[Light Turrets]], Tri Turrets, and [[Point Defense Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>. Point Defense Turrets are light weapons and cannot be fired manually.
Some weapons such as [[Plasma Cannons]], [[Interceptor Cannons]], and [[Torpedoes]], can only fire forwards. The direction of fire for these weapons is the opposite direction of maximum thrust.
Players take 5 hearts of true damage when hit with any starship weapon.

'''Interceptor cannons''' are light weapons which are only useable by [[Interceptors]]. They deal heavy damage to ships less than 1000 blocks in size, and cannot damage larger ships or destroy terrain/builds. Interceptor cannons can only face forwards.
 
They appear to be laser cannons but with the sponge replaced by an iron block.

'''Plasma cannons''' are the best light weapon for small ships; they deal great damage and have a good fire rate. However, they can only fire forwards, and are limited by poor arcs of fire, making ships that can only mount plasmas (like Starfighters and Tackle Gunships) very vulnerable to fast adversaries armed with turrets or pulse cannons.

'''Quad Turrets''' are capital-grade manual weapons that deal devastating damage to both shields and blocks. They fire once every three seconds, and the projectiles travel very slowly.

'''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].

'''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.

Starship weapons are used to deal damage to other starships, players, and entities.

Light Weapons are fired by left clicking with a controller. Multiple light weapons can be fired at once if you are not using weaponsets and nodes to control which weapons fire.

Heavy Weapons are fired by right clicking with a controller after a brief charge-up delay. Only one type of heavy weapon can be fired at a time, so ships with multiple heavy weapons must control them using weaponsets and nodes. Attempting to fire more than one weapon will jam the systems.

Turrets can fire in any direction that they have line of sight in. All turrets except for the Tri Turret are light weapons. Light Turrets, Tri Turrets, and Point Defense Turrets can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using /settarget [node] [player] or /st [node] [player]. Point Defense Turrets are light weapons and cannot be fired manually.

Some weapons such as Plasma Cannons, Interceptor Cannons, and Torpedoes, can only fire forwards. The direction of fire for these weapons is the opposite direction of maximum thrust.

Players take 5 hearts of true damage when hit with any starship weapon.

Light Weapons

Light weapons have a comparatively high fire rate and low damage. Fire by left clicking with a clock.

Interceptor cannons are light weapons which are only useable by Interceptors. They deal heavy damage to ships less than 1000 blocks in size, and cannot damage larger ships or destroy terrain/builds. Interceptor cannons can only face forwards.

They appear to be laser cannons but with the sponge replaced by an iron block.

Plasma cannons are the best light weapon for small ships; they deal great damage and have a good fire rate. However, they can only fire forwards, and are limited by poor arcs of fire, making ships that can only mount plasmas (like Starfighters and Tackle Gunships) very vulnerable to fast adversaries armed with turrets or pulse cannons.

Heavy turrets are larger turrets that excel in ship-to-ship combat with larger ships with its dual projectiles. The lowermost sponge block (where the sign is attached) may be any block. Heavy turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret]. They do not automatically fire and must be manually controlled with weapon sets, which are accomplished with node signs placed on the turret signs. Despite their name, they are classed as light weapons, and fire with left-click.

Minimum block count: 6500 for all ships

Quad Turrets are capital-grade manual weapons that deal devastating damage to both shields and blocks. They fire once every three seconds, and the projectiles travel very slowly. They deal crippling damage to most ships they hit, however their slow speed allows for smaller ships to dodge their fire. Quad Turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret].

Quad turrets require Loaded Shells as ammunition.

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].

Ion turrets require Charged Shells as ammunition.

Minimum block count: 13500 for Cruisers

Point defense turrets (PDTs), also commonly called autoturrets (ATs) by some players, are small turrets intended for anti-personnel operations. They fire quickly and do decent damage against entities, but cannot damage ships or cause explosions. They must be configured with Nodes.
The point defense turret shoots from the redstone lamp, on the face opposite the iron block.
The dispenser must be facing into the iron block.
Point defense turrets can be built facing upward, downward, or sideways.

Heavy Weapons

Heavy weapons are weapons operating on an alternate weapons system. Hold right click to activate. Most heavy weapons consume ammo from a Magazine.

You cannot fire more than one heavy weapon at a time. Attempting to do so will jam the ship's systems and prevent all heavy weapons from firing. Circumventing this issue is done with node signs.

Tri-turrets are hefty artillery pieces that deal great damage. Due to the projectile's slow speed, they are most useful against the largest ships.

The lowermost sponge block (where the sign is attached) may be any block; sponge is used as a placeholder. Tri-turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret], just like any other turret.

Tri-turrets can be noded with signs to fire automatically or manually. This is done by placing a [node] sign on the turret sign.
