Ship Weapons

Ship Weapon'S

Weapons Lab.png


Ship Weapons are machines attached to hulls which allow ships to attack while in combat. The effect, weight, and range of weapons vary greatly. They can be used both to attack bases and ships.

Note: Weapon build time varies from the weapon that is being replaced or added to the ship.

Ballistic

The first and most basic weapons used in the game.
Auto-loader and Hardened Barrels improve these weapons making Thud's the longest range ballistic weapon and Ripper 4's the highest DPS with theD33 Draconian Assault Cannon class weapons coming in close behind each in DPS and range. The SpecialLayered Armour provides extra protection against ballistic weapons, as do Guidance Scrambler.
If you intend to use Ballistic weapons to fight fleets rather than bases, it is highly recommended that you use them primarily on very fast ships such as Sea Wolves, or Sea Scorpions. These hulls fitted with thuds, hardened barrels, auto loader, engine upgrade and the highest armour you have make a night mare fleet for the draconian bases and outpost also get for rushing other peoples bases.

Thud Cannon

The first unlocked weapon type, Thud Cannons are very basic, with an excellent damage to weight ratio. They are described as 'heavy duty single shot cannons'. With the use of an Auto-loader and Hardened Barrels , Thud Cannons become suited for end game.

Ripper Cannon

Ripper Cannon.png
Focusing more on a sequel to the Thud Cannon, the Ripper Cannon focuses on getting in fast and dealing damage. The range is limited on Ripper Cannons, forcing them to get closer to the enemy to attack. They are described as "twin barrelled rapid fire cannons".

Penetrating

Penetrating weapons are missiles and rockets used to "penetrate" enemy targets.
Enhanced Warhead increases weapon damage and Laser Targeting increases accuracy while Solid Fuel Booster increases the range up to as much as 93 on the cutlass missiles. Meanwhile the specials Reactive Armor and Guidance Scrambler provides extra protection against them.

Rapier Missiles

Rapiers.png
The second unlocked weapon type, they are simply described as "heat-seeking missiles".
Rapier Missiles are more advanced than the previous Thud Cannons, and have a much longer range. They are also the first weapons with a minimum range, meaning the weapon cannot fire at any enemy closer than 30.

Cutlass Missiles

Cutlass Missiles.png
The Cutlass Missiles are the heavy-duty counterpart to the Rapier Missiles . With much the same stat gradients, the tactic of Cutlass Missiles , they "pack a heavy punch and can put a dent in most hulls". Their range can be increased by Solid Fuel Boosters with 10%, 19% and 30% to 38.5-79, 41,6-86 and 45.5-93,6 with SFB I, II or III. This makes it potentially one of the longest ranged weapons for a fleet. Their accuray can be increased with Laser Targeting with 20%, 40% and 60% with laser Targetting I, II and III.

Explosive

Best used for attacking bases or targets that are slow moving because of their long projectile flight time after firing can give the target the ability to move out of splash range.
Highly Explosive Shells increases these weapons splash damage and Electronic Range Finder incease their accuracy while the special Ablative Armour provides extra protection againt them.

Diplomat Mortar

Diplomat Mortar.png
The third unlocked weapon type, Diplomat Mortars are very slow to fire, but have a very high damage to weight ratio. Best described as 'one shot only', it's unlikely a Diplomat Mortar will get in many shots before the end of a battle. They are described as "high-arching explosive mortars". They are probably best used while the enemy is in pursuit and you are "running away". Also know as "kiting".

Peacemaker Mortar

PM.png
A true upgrade to the Diplomat Mortar, the Peacemaker Mortar shows improvement in all stats except reload time, while keeping in play with the gradients upon which they lie. They are best and simply described as "massively explosive mortars". Peacemakers are also the longest range ship mounted weapon in the game. Just like the Diplomat mortar, they are very effective attacking an enemy behind you while staying out of their weapons range.

Hydra Rockets

Hydra Rockets.png
Much like the previous Ripper Cannon, Hydra Rockets have a limited range from which they can fire powerful shots, but take a good while to reload. They are described as "launches a volley of rockets".

The final unlockable weapon, Maelstrom Rockets show their superiority with massive damage, albeit a low fire rate. They are said to "employ centrifugal technology to deliver epic explosions".
