There are three different types of weapons in the game:

• Plasma Guns - all of the player ships have at least one of these weapons, most have several. The plasma guns rapid-fire a small compressed bolt of damaging energy.
  
  
• Spreadfire Cannon - a powerful shotgun blast of ballistic pellets
  
  
• Proximity Missile Launcher - fires a powerful missile that detonates when it comes close to an enemy, damaging any enemies caught in the explosion.
