The Last Starship – Weapons Guide

The game currently has three weapons: Gatling Gun, Railgun, and Cannon.

Gatling Gun

Gatling guns are useful for destroying meteors and defending against hostile fighters. They are loaded with two stacks of bullets at a time and fire in a small but wide arc at a high rate.

They must be placed in the Hull, are size 2 x 3, and require 1 x 3 of internal space and an unobstructed area of 6 x 3, for a total size of 8 x 3.

Gatling Gun

• Grid size: 2 x 3
• Power category: Weapons
• Inputs: Power + Bullets

Railgun

Railguns are useful as sniping weapons as they have a long, thin firing arc that spreads out. They are loaded with one stack of Railgun Slugs at a time.

They must be placed in a 2 tile thick Hull, are 3 x 3, and require an unobstructed area of 6 x 3, for a total size of 9 x 3.

Railgun

• Grid size: 3 x 3
• Power consumption: 1000MW when firing
• Power category: Weapons
• Inputs: Power + Railgun Slugs

Cannon

Cannons are weapons that shoot shells in an arc – not super high, not super low. You can only load one stack of Cannon Shells into them at a time.

You’ll need to put them in your ship’s Hull. Each cannon takes up a 3 x 3 space. The important part: you also need empty space in front of the cannon (3 x 3 plus another 3 squares in front = 9 x 3 total) so it can actually fire.

Cannon

• Grid size: 3 x 3
• Power category: Weapons
• Inputs: Power + Cannon Shells
