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. 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 Mark. Weapon sizes that fit in that slot will be at maximum that mark 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 "Mark" number per weapon.

• Mark 1

• Mark 2

• Mark 3

• [Mark 4 / Mark5]

Point Defense

Point defense in Falling Frontier consists of cannons mounted to the ship. Point defense is used to defend a ship from incoming missile or large-projectile fire. Flak cannons target incoming fighters and small craft. These weapons take mk1 or mk2 slots.

Mines

Mines can be deployed from ships if they have the correct module. Once placed mines stay in their current position until an enemy ship gets close. Once the ship is close enough they can travel towards the enemy ship.
