Ship weapon

Starship Weapons
Weapons are a ship component that delivers damage (hopefully a lot of it) to enemy ships. Different chassis can equip 1, 2, 3, or 4 guns which can fire in together, separately, or in groups.

From 1-10. You can only use weapons you have the certification to use (your trainer doesn't want you playing with trandoshan repeater cannons before you've learned what droid routine is).
 * Level

After your shields go down and your armor plates melt, damage is distributed to component armor.
 * Armor

Decrease with damage and repair. If your hitpoints are less than 10, get a new gun.
 * Hitpoints

The gun has two sources of energy, the ships reactors, which powers it at baseline, and the capacitor, which is only used when firing. It drains the reactor by the reactor energy drain amount constantly (firing or not). This value is modified by weapon overload droid routines. WO2 drains by 2x, WO3 drains by 2.86, WO4 drains by 5x. If you overburden your reactor your guns will be disabled. So clearly, a high drain gun is going to be outclassed by a low drain gun, because you will be able to more easily run a weapon overload routine.
