Ship weapons are mountable on designated hardpoints fore and aft. They come in 3 categories: beam, torpedos and mines. Beam weapons have phaser, disruptor and plasma damage types. Beam weapons also come in banks, arrays, cannons and turrets. These weapons will be the equipments for your Star Ships which will enable you to destroy your enemy’s ships. By this function, you can collect STO credits for your ship expenses.
Weapon Specifications for STO Credits
Banks and Arrays have a wide of 250, 180 arc of attack. Dual banks and Cannons have a much narrower 90 and 45 degree arc of attack with greater damage given. Cannons can only be mounted on Escort class ships after Level III. Turrets have the least damage but can attack in 360 degrees no matter the mounting point. Torpedos and mines are kinetic damage weapons of photon, quantum, plasma, chronitron, transphasic and tricobalt types. Torpedos have a narrow 90 degree arc of attack while mines are passive in that they are just launched and seek any nearby target after a brief arming time.
You can equip these weapons on some ships. You can also check out the other star ship categories. You can also check out and try other types of ships. It is not a bad habit to check out other ships so you can also tell if the ship is effective.
