Weapon

A Weapon is a type of ship component used for damaging other ships.

Weapon types
There are three types of weapons: kinetic weapons, beam weapons, and missile weapons. Each type of weapon has a base range, cooldown and accuracy. Thus, each type is useful in particular combat situations. Each weapon type is countered by a specific type of defense, allowing for optimization of matchups. A different galactic resource is consumed to construct each type.

Specific weapons within a type mostly vary by their attack damage and cost.
