~~=Weapons:Small=~~This page lists weapons which fit into fighter-class ships' '''small''' port.

==Blasters==

These weapons fire short blasts with a high rate of fire. 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 because the higher volume of fire ensures a larger number of hits.

===[[Image:All ion blasters.png]] Ion Blaster===

This is ~~a slightly better~~ an improved version of the government issue [[#Training Blaster|Training Blaster]]. Ion Blasters feature a higher rate of fire than [[~~weapons:Small~~#Plasma Cannon|Plasma ~~Cannon~~Cannons]], ~~its faster and packs slightly~~ but do less damage per shot. A skilled marksman who can land more hits than misses may do higher aggregate damageover the course of a battle than a pilot using Plasma Cannons. ~~It is~~ Ion Blasters are very useful for taking out low level [[~~bots:Collectors|Collectors~~collector drones]] , but ~~other than that~~ they ~~have almost no use~~quickly become obsolete as better armament becomes available.~~ ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"!

===[[Image:Allpositron-neutron.png]] Neutron Blaster===

The Neutron Blaster is the ultimate rapid firing S small-port ~~laser~~blaster. The shots from this weapon move surprisingly fast and ~~they can move for some time~~have decent range. It can be a very effective primary weapon. The Neutron Blaster MkIII is ~~only available to~~ purchasable by Itani or Serco, military pilots and can be bought at Valent (+600 Standing) stations in UIT by whichever team ~~won [[CtC|CtC]] (Capture~~ achieved the ~~Cargo)~~ most victories in border combat the week before, but anyone can get them as drops from certain pirate NPCs.~~ ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"

It's indended for use with the Centurion Superlight (1S port).

===[[Image:All ion blasters.png]] Phase Blaster===

A ~~decent~~ hybrid weapon ~~for hunting [[:bots]]~~that imitates the lower damage per shot of an Ion Blaster and the rate of fire of a Plasma Cannon, with lower energy consumption and higher blast velocity than either. ~~Wouldn't put~~ Due to ~~much faith into~~ the higher velocity, it ~~when it comes to player combat~~can be more accurate in longer-ranged fights, but not as useful for short range twitch fire. Both [[~~Template:Factions:Orion|~~Orion]] and [[The Propeller Group ~~([[Template:Factions:TPG|TPG~~]]) have developed ~~there~~ their own versions of this ~~cannon~~weapon.~~ ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"!

===[[Image:Allpositron-neutron.png]] Positron Blaster===

A slower but more powerful version of the [[~~weapons~~Weapons:Small#Neutron Blaster|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 [[~~Template:Factions:Axia|~~Axia]] standing and reasonably high levels, and can be compared damage-wise to a Neutron Mark III.~~ ~~[[Corvus|Corvus]] has also introduced a variant of the positron blaster available to those who have -901 or less (Kill on Sight) standing with the three major factions, and have completed the [[Missions#Hive_Research|Hive Research]] mission. However, the weapon requires 18 grid, making it similar to the [[Manufacturing#Corvus_Widowmaker|Corvus Widowmaker]]. {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"

==Cannons==Cannons are energy weapons that sacrifice rate of fire for higher damage per shot. A highly skilled Cannon marksman can score a kill with fewer shots than a pilot spraying the area with fire from a comparable Blaster. ===[[Image:~~Allflechette~~All mining beams.png]] ~~Flechette~~ Charged Cannon===~~The Flechette is a very effective close range weapon.

===[[Image:Allgauss-devestator.png]] 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 [[Weapons:Large#Plasma_Devastator|Plasma Devastator]].~~ ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"

==Guns==

===[[Image:All mining beams.png]] 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 [[~~Template:~~Badges~~:playerkills~~#Player Kills|~~25PK badge~~25pk Badge]], ~~and~~ the MkIII requires the [[~~Template:~~Badges~~:playerkills~~#Player Kills|~~100PK badge~~100pk Badge]] and the Advanced requires the [[Badges#Player Kills|500pk Badge]].~~ ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"

==[[Image:Allmissiles.png]] ~~Missles~~Missiles==There are three ~~(3) small port missles to choose from~~types of missile launchers. The ~~Firefly Homing Missle Launcher, Gemini Homing Missle Launcher and~~ first one is the Yellow Jacket ~~Missle Launcher~~, 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 ~~an ineffective weapon at best~~is the next step up from the Yellowjacket. It doesn't do quite as much damage, ~~one wonders why~~ but its increased tracking more than makes up for the ~~designers even bothered~~ decreased damage. Unfortunately, Fireflies (which are in fact scaled down [[Weapons:Large#Missiles|Stingrays]]) only have 6 shots per tube, drastically decreasing their usefulness (changed to ~~produce it~~12 in VO 1.8.556). The ~~Gemini Missile is~~ most popular member of the ~~best S~~ Small-port ~~homing~~ missile family is the Gemini launcher. ~~Generous amounts~~ This launcher fires two heat-seeking missiles per shot, each of ~~ammunition mean you can last in a long fight,~~ which does 950 damage and tracks its ~~maneuverability cant be beat by~~ target quite well (within a ~~missile of its class, and they fire in pairs, so that means even if one misses you might hit with another~~90 degree frontal arc). Generally ~~this missile is~~ , only the Geminis are used ~~as a secondary weapon~~in Player vs. ~~The Yellow Jacket is a rather unreliable guided missile launcher~~Player combat, although it's not unheard of to see other missiles in use. ~~But it is available at one level so what more could you ask for? ~~ {| ~~cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"~~ border="1" style="~~border~~text-~~collapse~~align: ~~collapse~~center" class="~~inline~~wikitable sortable"|-! ~~align="center" bgcolor="aec6d6" | Missle~~ Missile Launchers! ~~align="center" bgcolor="aec6d6" | Firefly-Homing~~Damage! ~~align="center" bgcolor="aec6d6" | Gemini-Homing~~Speed! ~~align="center" bgcolor="aec6d6" | Yellow Jacket~~Energy|- !

==[[Image:Allrockets.png]] Rockets==

There are three ~~(3) Rocket Launchers available for the~~ different types of small ~~weapons~~ -port, rocket launchers. The first is the Iceflare, ~~Starflare~~ which does 800 damage/rocket and ~~Sunflare. The Iceflare is useless ignore~~ has the smallest "safety fuse" (the distance from the launcher at which point the rocket arms its proximity fuse) of the types, making itvery good for close combat. It is ~~a heavily underpowered [[weapons:Small#Sunflare Rocket Launcher|Sunflare Rocket]]~~also extremely light. ~~This author's personal opinion on any flare other than~~ The middle child is the ~~Sunflare, is that they are all useless, underpowered~~Starflare, which does 1000 damage/rocket and ~~little ammunition~~still maintains a decent mass. ~~You are better off waiting until you can buy Sunflares.
