There will be times when shooting at things such as asteroids becomes necessary. As such, the Skunk comes equipped with a modular weapon system that can be upgraded with several types of guns and missiles. Note, however, that your ship is designed to fire only one weapon at a time.
There are two main weapon systems: guns, and missile launchers.

Reloading
Most weapons need time to reload. The amount of time required mostly depends on the weapon type.
Overheating
All guns accumulate heat as they are fired. They cool down over time. If a gun overheats, it is temporarily damaged and requires more time to repair itself before it cools down.
It is generally useful to keep an eye on the heat state of a weapon, and to fire in short, controlled bursts to keep your weapon from overheating.
