Powerups are very useful... in single player they appear occasionally when you destroy a drone. In On-Line multiplayer, track down the bouys (by following the yellow arrows) to find them....
Ammo Powerup - fills up your red ammo bar, giving you max weapon capacity
Shield Powerup - repairs some of your shield... pick up one of these if your
shield bar is low (or gone).
Rapid Fire Powerup - for a brief time, your plasma guns will fire at twice
their normal rate of fire.
Invulnerability Powerup - for a brief time, nothing can hurt you!
Repair Powerup - this powerup is rare... Missing a few parts? Pick up a
repair powerup to instantly fix your ship back to its factory settings....
Extra Life Powerup - this powerup only appears in single player....
