Stats for weapons:
Gauss/Vulcan Cannons: Are normal slug throwers, with explosive tipped shells
Mass Driver: Normal physics apply to this
Plasma Cannons:Normal plasma cannons
Fusion Cannon: A fairly powerful weapon, takes energy directly from the reactor, can be used once every minute or so. Enough to take down completely a fighter's nomral shields.
Concussion Missiles (NG):Normal non-guided missiles
Flash Missiles: Like Concussion Missiles, except for releasing a blinding flash on impact.
Homing Missiles: Like normal missiles used on most other ships
Smart Missiles: Limited homing capabilities, and releases plasma charges on impact
Mercury Missiles: Fast moving non-guided missiles
Earthshaker: Capable of taking a cap ships shields down with it. Only one is, or can be, equipped at a time
Mega Missiles: Dumbfire missiles that deal quite a bit of damage.

Modified from original to have more weapons, at the expense of passenger capabilities, and shields are quite heavy.

{OOC: If there's any problems witht he weapons, or the ship itself, please let me know.}

A very well-rounded starcraft you got yourself, Alpha. It is a good ship that would be of use in the any fleet around :). Do you have any other ships that are made by the Pyro-G company?

I'm trying to get the stats together for a few more types. Give me awhile. These are form the Descent games in case you didn't notice.
