Weapon types

Icon	Name	Features	Cons	Purpose
	Machine Guns	Extreme Turning Speed Moderate Accuracy & Range High rate of fire	Low HP Moderate Overheat	Good all-around weapon for close to medium range. High rate of fire combined with the natural flexibility makes it perfect for a sustained damage output. Shoot the enemy's weapons until they're harmless.
	Shotguns	Automatic High damage Moderate rate of fire	Terrible Accuracy Rapid Overheat Delayed Turn Speed	Brawling weapon, useful only at close ranges. High burst damage makes this weapon useful for hit & run tactics.
	Autocannons	Excellent range and accuracy Good damage Average rate of fire	Slow turn rate	Medium to long ranges work best for the autocannon as it limits the amount of turning the autocannon has to do. Autocannons are essentially automatic, miniature Turreted Cannons and behave as such.
	Cannons	Excellent range Good accuracy Excellent damage	Slow Turn Rate Limited ammunition Bullet Drop Long reload	Splash damage destroys clusters of weapons and hardware. Shooting from cover takes advantage of this weapon's high range and damage.
	Melee Weapons	High damage Contact range Low energy costs	Impact based damage Useless against evasive targets	For when you want to get nasty in close combat. Getting in range can be a challenge. Stab enemies until they explode!
	Unguided Rockets	Splash damage Quick Reload	Limited Ammo Low accuracy Rockets are ballistic	A rocket pod that contains a salvo of unguided rockets that can be launched at the enemy. Devastating if all rockets hit their mark.
