There are two main varieties of the gatling weapon, the Gatling Cannon and Gatling Turret, Cannon MkII. The Gatling Cannon is mostly worthless as a spray 'n' pray rarely-used weaponwhich is most useful for close-range encounters. It is very similar to the [[Weapons:Small|flechette cannon]]. The Flechette Gatling Cannon is better, cheaper, MkII (and fits in its NPC variants) is a small portmuch more commonly-used weapon. Wait Even for the Gatling Turret. The Gatling Turret in the hands of any an unskilled pilot, this weapon is can be amazingly effective on low level [[Bots|robots]]; a more skilled pilot can take advantage of this weapon's excellent aiming capabilities and use it to great advantage against other players, especially on heavier ships where manuevering a good shot can become difficult.<br> {| cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="bordertext-collapsealign: collapsecenter" class="inlinewikitable sortable"

===[[Image:Allgauss-devestator.png]] Plasma Devastator Weapons ===The Plasma Devastator is weapons are the large-port version equivalents of the [[Weapons:Small#Gauss_Cannon|Gauss Cannon]]. Does They do more damage at a faster rate of fire, but uses more energy. The Plasma Devestator MkII is an overclocked version of the Plasma Devestator. It does even more damage and the bolt travels even faster (200m/s from 180m/s) but it requires even use more energy than before.

There are three six (36) types of mine launchers, ConcussionConcussionm, Drain, Proximity and , Lightning, Gravity and Teller-Ulam. The Concussion does no damage, but instead exerts a large amount of force on whomever or whatever sets it off, be it friend or foe, sending them flying off course. The Drain mine saps energy from all ships Power Cells within the blast radius. The Proximity drops mines that explodes explode when an enemy enters the proximity radius (70m). The [[media:mines_lightning.png|Lightning]] mines damage all ships within a 100m radius with a devastating arc of lighting. It is considered by some to be the ultimate heavy weapons large port botting weapon when used properly, as well as offering an excellent deterrent to pirates and even, with the right pilots, offing capships. These mines deal 1000 damage per second through a bolt of lightning within a 100m radius.<br> {| cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="bordertext-collapsealign: collapsecenter" class="inlinewikitable sortable"

There are three (3) types of missile launchers, Chaos Swarms, Locust Swarms and Stingray Homing.The Chaos Swarms are essentially an upgraded version of the Locust Swarm Missiles. Has The have a 30m splash radius and a 25m proximity instead of 25m and 15m , respectively.The Locust Swarms are the first swarm missile launcher you will have access to, these are decent weapons of terror in the hands of anyone able to buy them. If you really want to cause mass havoc, buy the Chaos Swarms when they become available for their increased proximity and blast radius. The Stingray is the largeport large port weapon you start with when you create a character. Sadly, you actually have to do some leveling before you're able to use it.<br> {| cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="bordertext-collapsealign: collapsecenter" class="inlinewikitable sortable"

There are two (2) types of large-port rocket launchers, Screamers and Jackhammers. The At 48,000 damage per tube <ref>the same as the original Avalon Torpedo Launcher</ref> (roughly half a [[Trident|Trident]]'s shield strength) the Screamers are the big daddy of dumb-fire rockets. Does 3000 damage per rocket and travels at 85m/s Screamers are very effective when engaging smaller bots or catching an enemy player off guard. Carries more ammo than Two disadvantages of Screamers are their narrow proximity detonation (20m) and the Jackhammerfact that they require energy to fire (reduced to 0 in VO 1.8.556). The Jackhammers are good large-port dumb-fire rockets to hold you over until you get the Screamers. High rate of firerapid firing, good speedmaking them ideal for rocket netting light fighters, and great damage make these a threat to slowthey can also be 'stack-moving targetsfired' while boosting to rapidly take down a capital vessel's shields.<br> {| cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="bordertext-collapsealign: collapsecenter" class="inlinewikitable sortable"!

The shot size of the ConcRail is also larger than other railguns, making it easier to score hits.
