Primary weapons

From Starport: Galactic Empires

Spaceship Primary Weapons

All spaceship types can be outfitted with any of the primary weapons (only one at a time though). Your ship can be fitted with a new primary weapon at a Star Base shipyards. Your weapon is not lost when you change ships - buying a better weapon can be seen as an investment. Your old weapon is traded in for 75% of its original value.

Projectile weapons are affected by gravity and momentum, while energy weapons are not. All projectile weapons except the explosive charge are capable of bouncing off of objects.

To Do: actual damage values would be nice, too
