Each [[ships|ship]] can equip a variety of energy, projectile, and missile-based weapons. Most weapons are available in either fixed, gimbal, or turret variants. Weapons are organized into classes ranging from 1 to 4 indicating their relative size (the higher the number the bigger the [[hardpoint]] must be to equip the weapon). Only the Cannon, Multi-Cannon, Pulse and Beam Laser, and Plasma Accelerator have class 4 variants whereas most other weapons have class 3 as their largest variant. In the outfitting store fixed weapons are indicated with a crosshair icon, gimbal weapons with a gyroscope icon, and turret weapons with a small turret icon.

=== Defensive Weapons ===
=== Mining Tools ===
Defensive weapons do not engage Enemy ships or vehicles. They solely fire at incoming explosive weapons.
Mining Tools are a subset of weapons designed primarily for [[Miner|mining]] [[asteroids]], and are consequently ineffective in ship-to-ship combat. Like weapons, however, they must be installed in a ship's hardpoints.

* [[Mining Lance]] (Powerplay faction locked)
=== Mining Lasers ===
Mining lasers are a Thermal damage type weapon that while capable of inflicting damage against an Enemy, are ill-suited for use as a combat weapon. They are used to mine fragments from asteroids, and are mostly used in combat as a last resort.
