Weapons

In Everspace, you can pick up weapons from a variety of places, or obtain Blueprints which allow you to craft them yourself. There are two categories of weapons, Primary Weapons and Secondary Weapons, although some Consumables can be considered as such due to their offensive capabilities.

Primary Weapons
Primary Weapons are your main source of damage, and widely vary in function. All Primary Weapons consume your ship's Energy to manifest their effects. All Primary Weapons (with the exception of encounters) have a default and a "super" version.

Secondary Weapons
Secondary Weapons differ from Primary Weapons in that instead of using the energy of your ship to function, they are limited by an ammunition system. Secondary Weapons can be crafted to replenish stock, assuming you have the requisite components and the blueprint. This category includes Explosive Missiles.
