Guns are Lasers are equipped by ships and often traded by Equipment Docks and Military Outposts, or their Terran equivalents; types of guns of lasers able to be equipped are dependent on ship type. Guns Lasers require Energy Cells, Ore and Food wares to be produced.
The basic tool for ship-to-ship combat comes in the form of gunslasers. The firing of guns of lasers consumes onboard Weapon onboard Laser Energy which if depleted will prevent firing, resulting in a reduction in the rate of fire (RoF) until the ship's weapon energy has regenerated enough (the Recharge Rate of the the Laser Energy Reload Rate of the ship will determine how long this takes). Some guns "lasers" consume ammo to fire but these tend to require very little weapon little laser energy.
Several guns lasers have special effects making them even more dangerous. The choice of guns lasers used on a ship depends greatly on the weapon recharge laser energy reload rate of the ship and whether it will see combat In-Sector or Out-of-Sector: for example ammo-consuming weapons are extremely deadly IS but inefficient OOS; however ships such as the Xenon J can quickly run out of weapon of laser energy IS (thus limiting their firepower), while OOS they can make full use of their multiple Photon Pulse Cannons.
