Weapons are your tools of destruction. Weapons are your foundation of strength. They can be used to kill other players or damage enemy ships. As of Alpha 5.2, only one handheld gun exists and one deployable explosive exists.
Primary Weapons
Basic Pistol
| “ | Fires bullets, loud and pretty nasty if you get one in the knee. | „ |
As of Beta 0.1.0, the Basic Pistol is the main weapon used in PvP combat. It uses metal bullets as ammunition and does 23 damage with each shot. NOTE: Damage from bullets does not change, regardless of what material for them you use. (Same for Pistol itself)
Timed Explosive
| “ | A big flammable explosive thing with a timer set for 10 seconds, ideal for extracting more metal from metallic core rocks. | „ |
Cannons
Currently, cannons are the only way to arm your ship. They are craftable and mountable weapons that shoot cannon shells; however, they cannot be equipped or used while unattached to a ship. Much like engines and wings, a cannon's stats will vary significantly depending on the schematic and its rarity as well as the type and quality of the resources used in building it.
Statistics
- Base HP: The initial health of the part, before adding material strength.
- Power: Affects trajectory and range of the projectile (more power makes the shell fly flatter and farther). NOTE: Does not affect damage of fired shells!
- Rate of Fire: Speed at which the cannons can fire.
- Overheat Limit: How many can you make shots before overheating the gun. (Looong cooldown)
- Capacity: The amount of inventory space available in the ammo box. NOTE: for now all ammo boxes the same, dont look at that stat. (0.1.0 beta)
