Weapons of Falling Frontier

Weapons in Falling Frontier are projectile-based; there are no energy weapons whatsoever. Weapons impact the total weight of a ship, which in turn could impact other aspects of operating a ship, such as jump range. All weapons require ammunition and must be resupplied if ammunition is depleted. Various weapon modules deplete ammunition at varying rates, projectile-based cannons and railguns can be quite frugal in their consumption, while missile launchers require a more generous supply. Additionally, specialized optional modules like the VLS exact a substantial toll on ammunition reserves in exchange for their formidable power. Weapons can be added to a ship via the ship customization tab, adding variety and special niche ships to the players arsenal.

Weapon Sizes

Cannon

Weapon mount sizes in Falling Frontier are fixed and can only support a limited number of weapons. All Military ships have a number of hard points of a certain Class. Weapon sizes that fit in that slot will be at maximum that class size, or one size below. For example, if a weapon mount is a size 3, it can only support size 3 and size 2 weapons. Weapon sizes are indicated by the "CL" number per weapon.

  • CL1
  • CL2
  • CL3
  • CL4

Point Defense

Point defense in Falling Frontier consists of CIWS and flak turrets mounted to the ship. Point defense is used to defend a ship from incoming missile, parasite craft or large-projectile fire. Flak cannons target incoming fighters and small craft while CIWS target missiles. These weapons only take the CL1 or CL2 slots.
