So, right now the weapon options are rather limited, and in the future it would be nice to have more options to destroy things, so, here are a few of my ideas of space weapons.
Mass Drivers: a simple weapon using either high explosive or magnetism to speed up a projectile to high enough speeds to hit an enemy and pierce the armor, mass driver projectiles can go from 1000-100,000 kph these are fairly good weapons for shorter ranged fighting, they are aimed like the "antimatter" cannons in the game now.
Laser weapons: laser weapons are used for long range combat because the beams travel at the speed of light, lasers however do fairly low damage but can be extremely precise when used with a targeting computer, they can heat up electronic components of the enemy ship to disable them making them an extremely useful tool.
Particle beams: particle beams fire ultra-fast (but not quite as fast as lasers) projectiles which do medium damage but what makes them special is that they can pass through blocks while still doing damage, allowing you to hit things inside the ship, the drawback to particle beams is that shields are super effective agains them.
Targeting computer: a targeting computer allows you to target specific portions of a starship or hit targets at longer range by focusing the location of your attacks.
