Every ship in Elite: Dangerous can be outfitted with a variety of deadly and dangerous weaponry.
Weapons
Each ship in the world of Elite: Dangerous can be outfitted with various weapons. These weapons are typically organized into three basic types:
- Lasers
- Ballistics
- Plasma
Additionally, weapons in these categories fall in one of three variations, either Gimballed (the weapon will follow the target regardless of the direct position of the pilot), Fixed (the weapon only fires straight ahead) or Turreted (The weapon will fire automatically at any hostile target in a 360 degree field of fire, depending of the placement of the weapon on the ship).
Classes
Each weapon also has classes, indicating increase in strength and accuracy. The class level that can be equipped depends entirely on the level of hardpoint; that is, Class 2 Hardpoints can equip Class 2 and below, Class 3 can equip Class 3 weapons and below, etc.
