This page lists weapons which fit into fighter-class ships' small port.

Blasters

These weapons fire short blasts with a high repeat rate. However, the individual shots do not do as much damage as those from the other types of weapons. Blasters are often favored by fighter pilots for Player vs. Player combat.

Ion Blaster

This is a slightly better version of the Plasma Cannon. It is faster and does slightly more damage. Ion Blasters are very useful for taking out low level collector drones, but they quickly become obsolete as better armament becomes available.

Ion Blaster Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Grid Targeting DPE DPS Level
MkI 350 150 10.0/blast 0.15 s 100 kg 4 Okay 35.00 2333 -/1/-/-/-
MkII 370 155 9.8/blast 0.14 s 100 kg 4 Okay 37.76 2642 1/1/-/-/-
MkIII 380 160 9.8/blast 0.14 s 100 kg 4 Okay 38.78 2714 1/2/-/-/-
Hive 150 110 10.0/blast 0.15 s 100 kg 4 Okay 15.00 1000 -/-/-/-/-

(Bot Drop)

Ineubis Raven[1] 500 195 10.0/blast 0.16 s 280 kg 8 Okay 50.00 3125 4/8/-/-/-

Neutron Blaster

The Neutron Blaster is the ultimate rapid firing small-port blaster. The shots from this weapon move surprisingly fast and have decent range. It can be a very effective primary weapon. The Neutron Blaster MkIII is only purchasable by Itani or Serco, whichever team won CtC (Capture the Cargo) the week before, but anyone can get them as drops from certain pirate NPCs.

Corvus Widowmaker[5] 800 215 16/blast 0.14 s 400 kg 18 Good 50.00 5714 Mission

Phase Blaster

A decent weapon for hunting bots. Wouldn't put too much faith into it when it comes to player combat. Both Orion and The Propeller Group have developed their own versions of this weapon.

Phase Blaster Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Grid Targeting DPE DPS Level
MkI 350 170 8.0/blast 0.2 s 100 kg 4 Okay 43.75 1750 1/2/-/-/-
MkII 380 175 7.5/blast 0.2 s 100 kg 4 Okay 50.67 1900 1/2/-/-/-
Orion XGX 400 180 7.2/blast 0.2 s 150 kg 4 Okay 55.53 2000 1/2/-/-/-
TPG Sparrow 420 172 7.3/blast 0.2 s 150 kg 4 Okay 57.53 2100 1/2/-/-/-

Positron Blaster

A slower but more powerful version of the Neutron Blaster, not quite as effective as the Neutron but it gets the job done. Axia Technology Corp. developed an Accelerated Positron blaster that contains a HKPS Upgraded Blaster Housing with a KD-3 Positron Core. This weapon requires 600 or more Axia standing and reasonably high levels, and can be compared damage-wise to a Neutron Mark III.

Hive 800 210 16/blast 0.21 s 400 kg Good 50.00 3810 Bot Drop

Training Blaster

A weak weapon only available in the training sector. It only damages bots, doing no harm to player ships.

Training Blaster Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Grid Targeting DPE DPS Level
MkI 250 145 10/blast 0.15 s 100 kg 4 Okay 25 1666.67 -/-/-/-/-
Drone 1 110 10/blast 0.15 s 100 kg 4 Okay 0.1 6.67 Bot Drop

Cannons

Charged Cannon

By holding the fire key you can charge this weapon (slowly) to increase its total damage. By charging you also make the bolt fired larger. This weapon is extremely good against the collector drones since they move in one direction.

Charged Cannon Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Targeting DPE Level
MkI 400-2000 190 Variable 60 s 400kg Okay Variable 2/3/-/-/-

Flechette Cannon

The Flechette is an effective close range weapon, due to its high rate of fire and random shot pattern (it is effectively a smaller Gatling Cannon). At long range, however, it becomes difficult to use against all but the largest and slowest targets. The Aputech Guardians use this weapon very effectively.

Flechette Cannon Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Targeting DPE DPS Level
MkI 250 190 6.5/blast 0.090 s 600 kg Little 38.46 2778 3/5/-/-/-
MkII 280 200 6.0/blast 0.088 s 600 kg Little 46.66 3182 4/5/-/-/-

Gauss Cannon

The Gauss Cannon is a devastatingly powerful weapon. Effective both in close range and at a distance, the Gauss is the weapon of choice for many pilots. It fires a medium sized energy bolt that moves moderately fast, and has above-average auto-aim. Its large-port equivalent is the Plasma Devastator.

Gauss Cannon Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Grid Targeting DPE DPS Level
MkI 1200 180 40/blast 0.5 s 1000 kg 4 Very Good 30.00 2400 5/4/4/-/-
MkII 1100 190 30/blast 0.4 s 1000 kg 4 Very Good 36.67 2750 6/6/5/-/-
MkIII 1200 195 30/blast 0.4s 1000 kg 8 Very Good 40.00 3000 7/7/6/-/-

Plasma Cannon

Ah, the noble "Bus gun". What can't be said about your lovely red glow, your slow moving shots, your little damage, and your free price tag? This gun will quickly left behind as soon as any other gun becomes available. Some people, however, swear by the HX model, even when the Ion Blaster and the Phase Blaster are available.

Plasma Cannon Damage Velocity Energy Delay Mass Targeting DPE DPS Level
Government-Issue 500 130 m/s 12/blast 0.3 s 100 kg Okay 41.67 1667 -/-/-/-/-
MkII 540 140 m/s 12/blast 0.26 s 100 kg Okay 45.00 2077 -/-/-/-/-
MkIII 550 140 m/s 12/blast 0.25s 300 kg Okay 45.83 2200 -/1/-/-/-
HX 550 160 m/s 8/blast 0.20 s 300 kg Okay 68.75 2750 1/1/-/-/-

Guns

Rail Gun

The Rail Gun can best be equated to a sniper rifle without a sight. Although able to hit a target up to 1000m, it is very difficult to aim without quite a bit of practice. Don't be misled though, the Rail is a very effective weapon when used right. High speed, high damage, and low visibility mean your enemy wont see it coming, but when it hits they will know (read: Where did all my health go?). Most effective at medium ranges (500m) it serves as a very good secondary weapon. The MkII requires the 25pk Badge, the MkIII requires the 100pk Badge and the Advanced requires the 500pk Badge.

Rail Gun Damage Speed Energy Delay Mass Targeting Ammo Range Level
MkI 1400 400 m/s 110/blast 1.6 s 800 kg None 30 ? 4/5/-/-/-
MkII 1400 400 m/s 90/blast 1.6 s 800 kg None 30 ?
MkIII 1800 400 m/s 80/blast 1.6 s 1000 kg None 15 ?
Advanced 2500 480 m/s 100/blast 1.7 s 1500 kg None 10 ?

Missiles

There are three types of missile launchers. The first one is the Yellow Jacket, which is a very basic sort of missile launcher. Its missiles have fairly bad tracking, making it difficult to hit moving targets with the Yellowjacket. However, Yellowjackets do a fair amount of damage. The Firefly is the next step up from the Yellowjacket. It doesn't do quite as much damage, but its increased tracking more than makes up for the decreased damage. Unfortunately, Fireflies (which are in fact scaled down Stingrays) only have 6 shots per tube, drastically decreasing their usefulness. The most popular member of the Small-port missile family is the Gemini launcher. This launcher fires two heat-seeking missiles per shot, each of which does 850 damage and tracks its target quite well (within a 90 degree frontal arc). Generally, only the Geminis are used in Player vs. Player combat, although it's not unheard of to see other missiles in use.

Missile Launchers Damage Speed Energy Delay Mass Splash Radius Detonation Ammo Lifetime Level
Firefly 1200 75 m/s 0/blast 1.5 s 400 kg 25m Contact 6 20 s -/-/3/-/-
Gemini 950 80 m/s 0/blast 1.5 s 400 kg 25m Proximity (10m) 18 20 s -/4/-/-/-
Yellow Jacket 1800 85 m/s 0/blast 1.5 s 400 kg 30m Contact 8 12 s -/-/1/-/-

Rockets

There are three different types of small-port rocket launchers. The first is the Iceflare, which does 800 damage/rocket and has the smallest "safety fuse" (the distance from the launcher at which point the rocket arms its proximity fuse) of the types, making it very good for close combat. It is also extremely light. The middle child is the Starflare, which does 1000 damage/rocket and still maintains a decent mass. The most powerful type of small-port rocket is the venerable Sunflare, which does an awe-inspiring 1500 damage/rocket, but tips the scales at 1000kg. The Sunflare has historically been popular in the Valkyrie class of fighters, but this has lessened since the introduction of the mass system, which made it impractical to carry multiple Sunflare launchers in such a light ship.

Rocket Launchers Damage Speed Energy Delay Mass Splash Radius Detonation Ammo Range Level
Iceflare 800 75 m/s 0/blast 1.0 s 400 kg 60m Proximity (30m) 16 ? 4/5/2/-/-
Starflare 1000 75 m/s 0/blast 1.0 s 600 kg 60m Proximity (30m) 14 ? 5/5/4/-/-
Sunflare 1500 85 m/s 0/blast 1.0 s 1000 kg 60m Proximity (30m) 12 1200m 8/5/8/-/-
Seeker Flares 100 (?) 120 m/s 0/blast 1.5 s 1000 kg 50m Proximity (100m) 18[6] ? Seeker Drop
Xang Xi Self-Propelled Concussion Launcher [7] 1 85 m/s 0/blast 1.0 s 1500 kg 150m Proximity (30m) 4 ? -/-/-/-/-

Notes

  1. ↑ The Raven is available at Ineubis stations and select Barracks near the Itani-Serco border
  2. ↑ The Mark III is only available to the winner of the most recent week's CtC, or as a bot drop
  3. ↑ The Valent Neutron Accelerator is a rare blaster available from the storyline missions "Alternate Avenue of Inquiry" and "Party Reparations."
  4. ↑ Acquired from Station Guards or Strike Force Vultures
  5. ↑ The Corvus Widowmaker is acquired from a special mission tree available from Corvus stations, as a prototype weapon (you only get a pair of them per mission). It's stats are subject to change. It currently has a Grid Power usage of 18 (out of 20!) which means you can only equip 1 weapon per ship. It's indended for use with the Centurion Superlight (1S port). After finishing the first mission, there is a repeatable mission that needs the following resources for another two widowmakers: 1 Ioncore and Guardian Processor, 2 Power Regulators and Dentek Processors, 10 Crates of Silksteel and Premium Van Azek Ore and 15 crates of Premium Carbonic, Heliocene, and Lanthanic Ore
  6. ↑ Seeker Flares do not reload, one time use of up to 1800pt damage.
  7. ↑ The Xang Xi Self-Propelled Concussion Launcher is granted after the completion of a mission offered by Xang Xi stations.
