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.

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.

Torpedoes fire homing projectiles. They are the smallest heavy weapon and suited for smaller ships. Can only fire forwards, but their projectiles can home in any direction.
If the weapon is to be noded, the sign needs to be placed on the rearmost sponge block.

| Glass (any color) | 28 |
Heavy lasers fire highly explosive homing projectiles. Their energy disruption properties allows the projectiles to slow down small enemy ships, like starfighters and light gunships. Consumes 4 Redstone per shot.
To node this weapon, the node sign must be placed on the rearmost redstone block.
Minimum block count: 1000 for warships; 2916 for trade ships

| Copper Block | 3 |
| Double slab (any type) | 1 |
| Glass Pane | 4 |
| Grindstone | 1 |
| Hopper | 1 |
| Wall (any type) | 6 |
Phasers fire a hitscan projectile that travels extremely quickly after a short one second delay. The projectile deals tremendous shield damage, but is not effective against hull blocks. Consumes 4 Prismarine Crystal per shot.
The bells go between the copper blocks. Node signs, if required, must be placed on the rearmost copper block.
Minimum block count: 4630 for warships

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.

Arsenal Missile Launchers fire arsenal missiles, highly accurate guided projectiles that deal massive damage to area shields. They have modest explosion damage, and minimal ship 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.
