Weapons

Multiblock weapons are mainly used for ship-to-ship combat, but can also be used as static defence.

As you can probably tell, this article isn't finished, (and probably won't be for a while as I keep on getting distracted by other things.) so instead please use the weapons section on the official wiki.
