X3:Reunion Manual - Steam

WEAPONSWeapons are divided into types. Each type has a version, indicating the strength of thatweapon. Most weapon types have several variants: Alpha, Beta and Gamma. The Alphacosts the least, has the fastest fire rate and uses the least energy, but does the least damage.The Gamma variant is the most expensive, slow firing and energy draining, but does the mostdamage. Unsurprisingly, the Beta variant is somewhere between the two.Alpha Electro-Magnetic Plasma CannonThe Earth Fleets powerful and highly advanced Alpha EM Plasma Cannon is the mostcommon weapon found on Terran fighters.Beta Electro-Magnetic Plasma CannonThe Earth Fleets powerful and highly advanced Beta EM Plasma Cannon is the mostcommon weapon found on Terran capital ships.Fighter DroneA fighting drone can be launched against an enemy ship and attacks the targetautonomously.Flak Artillery ArrayThe Flak Artillery Array is a new weapon that fires bursts of energy into space, acting as adefence barrier that stops most missiles and light fighter-ships.High Energy Plasma ThrowersThe radiation is so dangerous that the weapon had to go through many Jazuras of researchand development until it could be placed on the market. This was worked around by adding aradiation sink into the weapon’s main design, purging the weapon of all excess radiationbetween shots.Impulse Ray EmittersThe Impulse Ray Emitter is one of the oldest energy based weapons around. They require notmuch power to fire, and they usually have quite a rapid rate of fire. No one actually knowswhen the weapon was first developed.Ion DisruptorThis weapon is unlike any other weapon encountered. Developed by Boron scientists, thisweapon fires a steady stream of ion particles in the direction of a ship. Then the stream isignited. The result is a lightning effect that affects ship systems and shields, while leaving thehull relatively untouched. Although this weapon is relatively new, it has undergone extensivetesting to make sure it maintains high Boron safety standards.75Kyon EmitterThis weapon is of Kha’ak origin. It generates and emits Kyon particles that line up in a straightline. How these particles are generated is not currently known. They are most commonlyfound on Kha’ak ships.Laser tower
