	Thermal weapons (lasers) have the benefit of unlimited ammunition, but they also tend to overheat your weapons ~~systems~~ more rapidly than Kinetic weapons do.

Thermal weapons (lasers) have the benefit of unlimited ammunition, but they also tend to overheat your ship and drain your weapons capacitor more rapidly than Kinetic weapons do.

Kinetic weapons require ammunition to fire and therefore require reloads when your current magazine runs empty; however, they build heat slower and drains less of the weapons capacitor than Energy weapons. Kinetic weapons deal reduced damage to shields but increased damage to ship hulls.

	Thermal Kinetic weapons require ammunition to fire, produce a lot of heat, and require a larger amount of energy to fire. However, Thermal Kinetic weapons are equally effective against shields and hull and tend to have high damage and high penetration.

	[[wikipedia:Gimbal\|Gimballed]] weapons are mounted within a semi-flexible assembly which allows for limited pitch, yaw~~, and roll~~ of the weapon within certain arcs limited by both the position of the mount and the actual assembly itself. Though they are not as flexible as Turrets, gimbal-mounted weapons can keep track of targets within a decently-sized cone directly in front of the mounting, making them ~~a little~~ easier to use than Fixed mounts. In exchange, ~~gimbal~~ weapons are usually weaker than their fixed counterparts and are vulnerable to chaff as it disrupts the weapon's ability to track the target.

	When fired without a locked target, a Gimballed weapon will act as a Fixed mount instead, firing directly ahead. This can be used to partially bypass the scrambling effect of chaff; unlock the target and track/lead manually until the chaff effect ends.
