Yep. Always bring enough gun to the fight. Because you’ll be dealing with more than one opponent most of the time. I’ve had to leave some missions with a barely navigable burning ship because I misjudged what I needed.

You can’t even imagine what the big ships can do.

That’s the beauty of the game . . . if I take it to the wrong neighborhood, it gets whacked.

An assault frigate is a specialized version of the smallest warship. Above that are destroyers, cruisers, and battleships. And there are capital ships (dreadnaughts, carriers, motherships) that are even larger.

The largest railgun on a battleship can launch slugs weighing about a ton at near-relativistic speeds, hitting targets at ranges exceeding 100 km. You can have 7 of them on one ship, if you have the right model.

Other ship types use lasers and/or missiles. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages.
