Combining excellent, consistent damage with an incredible range, this is an amazing weapon. It gives a bonus of +6 CA/ +6 HA. Only Mountable on Very Heavy Mounts or higher.
Research cost: ---------------
Build cost: 20 c, 20 m
Plasma Weapons school-
Fusion Cannon- The Fusion Cannon fires short range burst of super-heated plasma and is a very powerful close range weapon. Its give a bonus of +1 CA/+1 SA.
Research cost: 600 r, 30 g
Build cost: 4 c, 4 g
II
Hellfire Cannon- The Hellfire cannon uses fusion technology in a manner wholly different than previously attempted. The resulting weapon is both very powerful and supports an improved range from other plasma weapons. Its give a bonus of +2 CA/+2 SA
Research cost: 700 r, 40 g
Build cost: 5 c, 5 g
II
Lightning Field Generator- The LFG is among the best point defense weapons available at any tech level. It creates a destructive field around the ship that focuses energy on incoming space debris-like missiles or fighters. Unfortunately, it has very limited offensive use, due to its severely limited range. Its give a bonus of +3 FA/+2 SA/+2 CA. Only mountable on PD or Light mounts.
Research cost: 800 r, 60 g
Build cost: 6 c, 6 g
II
Plasma Cannon- A plasma cannon shoots super heated bolts of energy at close range. Good for melting holes in capital ships. Its give a bonus of +3 CA/ +3 SA.
Research cost: 900 r, 70 g
Build cost: 8 c, 6 g
II
Megabolt Cannon-The Megabolt Cannon is an oddity in the Plasma Weapon family in that it couples superheated Plasma with Force Fields in an attempt to give the weapon more range. It gives a bonus of +4 CA/+ 4 SA.
Research cost: 1100 r, 80 g
Build cost: 10 c, 8 g
II
Mauler-A Mauler is a brute-force energy projector that fires a massive bolt of unrestrained destruction with a wide area of effect. It gives a bonus of +5 CA/ +5 SA/ +4 HA. Only mountable on Very heavy mounts or higher.
Research cost:------------------
Build cost: 20 c, 20 g
Particle Weapons School-
Quark Cannon- The quark Cannon fires a stream of normally harmless quarks at a target. The sheer volume of subatomic particles overwhelms the defenses of the target, creating a considerable amount of damage.Its give a bonus of +1 FA/ +1 HA.
Research cost: 100 r, 30 g
Build cost: 2 c, 2 g
II
Neutron Blaster- A neutron blaster fires a beam of radiation at long ranges and is highly effective against all known lifeforms. Its give a bonus of +2 FA/ 2 HA.
Research cost: 300 r, 60 g
Build cost: 10 c, 6 g
II
Graviton Beam- The Graviton Beam streams its damage, making it great for taking out small ships but less effective in taking out large ships or ships with powerful shields. Its give a bonus of +3 FA/ +1 CA/ +2 HA. Only mountable on standard or lower mounts.
Research cost: 700 R, 90 gas
Build cost: 20 c, 8 g
II
Particle Beam- Particle beams send a high intensity particle stream towards an enemy target. They are excellent mid range weapons. Its give a bonus of +4 FA/ +3 HA.
Research cost:1100 r, 130 g
Build cost: 30 c, 10 g
II
Dark Energy Beam- Using Dark Energy which seems to ignore most recognized law of physics results in a weapon of surprising power and efficiency. This weapon is very difficult to defend against. Its give a bonus of +5 FA/ + 5 CA/ +4 HA.
Research cost: 1300 R, 150 g
Build cost: 50 c, 15 g
II
Death Ray- An ancient particle weapon of mass destruction. Fires an intense beam of cosmic rays, inflicting substantial damage. Has some ability to penetrate both shields and armor. Its give a bonus of +6 CA/+6 SA/ +6 HA
Research cost:-------
Build cost: 100 c, 20 g
II
Tachyon Beam- Operating by redirecting Tachyons, particles which naturally travel faster than light speed, this weapon is capable of delivering massive damage at an excellent range. It gives a bonus of +7 FA/ +7 CA/ +7 HA. Only Mountable on Very Heavy mounts or higher.
Research cost:-------
Build cost: 200 c, 40 g
