I'm working on adding more weapons to the mix right now, heres a sneak peek:
Weasel Gun: Fires a plasma bolt that swings from side to side, making it hard to intercept, furthermore, upon destruction, the bolt splits into three smaller ones.
Shock Beamer: A short-ranged laser that does more damage the longer you charge it. At maximum charge it will do 250% the damage of a normal Beamer per frame. At normal charge it will hurt the same as a normal Beamer.

I think he was asking how the shock beamer will be charged, now how you charge it currently (after all, it isn't in the game yet)...
You know, the shock beamer kind of sounds like the weapon the 'warp rays' from Starcraft II use. The weasel gun kind of sound like the MIRV missiles from Starfleet Battles/Starfleet Command...

Don't worry, while the Shock Beamer has probably been done before, I'm pretty sure there's nothing like the Weasel.

Say hi to all the new ships!
The Peitho is an fast (for a Battleship anyways) and tough Battleship. It's section arrangement allows it to make the most of its Deflectors to function as a mobile bunker.
The Tmolus is the new long-range bombardment Destroyer equipped with a brand new experimental weapon: the Weasel Gun. This gun fires a large primary bolt of excited plasma that meanders its way towards the target at high speed, making it a very difficult projectile to intercept. On impact, the bolt splits into three small bolts that curl around the target, hitting vulnerable sections on the other side. The Weasel is designed to defeat Deflectors by impacting on the Deflected section and having the small bolts go around and hit the vulnerable sections behind.
The Oenone Delta is now armed with the Shock Beamer. This is a normal Beamer with extra capacitors tacked on. Fired at a normal rate, it does rather poorly. However, given time to charge, the Shock Beamer expends it's charge in a powerful burst that does incredible damage. Smaller enemy craft are vapourized outright.
Finally, the Enyo and Athena have been given new weapon loadouts. They now have Railguns. Railguns project a tight stream of ferrous liquid at the target doing high damage per shot. The nature of the weapon makes it extremely effective at destroying turrets, doing 500% damage to any weapons it hits. It is also non-interceptable (since it's a stream of liquid anyway).
As usual, some bugs have been fixed, some glitches tweaked.
