Tesla
Teslas have colossal damage (Shield damage per turret per 1 slot can go up to 150000 including all bonuses) making them the most effective weapon for demolishing players.
To use them, you need a fast maneuverable ship., otherwise, you just get tired of trying to reach someone on your slow battleship.

Lightning
Lightning has half the damage of Tesla, thanks to which the NPCs are perfectly mowed, and are suitable for pvp with a not too strong player, at the same time their radius reaches 30 km. Lightning is quite suitable for any type of ship

Rockets
Rockets are powerful weapons, which can reach 100000 hull damage (30-50.000 on the shield), but already for two cells, accordingly, the rockets will be weaker than tesla and lightning. But they have one peculiarity, is the ability to attack in volleys, you fly away from the target to the maximum distance to fire your rocket, take acceleration to your target while releasing rockets, in the end for 30-40 km of flight, a huge dense cloud of rocket collects, which deals devastating damage on hit, and causes a sharp drop in FPS – There is nothing more fun and more effective than this.
Use only self-powered rockets.

What is important to know:
– It is not always a good idea to put as many components as possible in the craft., after all, for example, in this case, the rate of fire will be maximum, which means that the total firing time before overheating (if your weapon has one) will be very small, which is naturally bad
– There are many sided turrets to watch, put more turret factories, drag them to different sectors, and then you will find something worthwhile
– Be sure to check the maximum damage of all guns with optimal bonuses and number of slots
