Weapon Systems (Turrets & Launchers)

EVE features two primary weapon systems: turrets and launchers. Turrets (lasers, hybrid, projectile) require ammunition and deal instant damage, but have tracking limitations against fast targets. Launchers (missiles, rockets) deal damage over time, have no tracking issues, but can be affected by target's signature radius and missile velocity. Each weapon type has different damage profiles (EM, Thermal, Kinetic, Explosive) and optimal ranges. Choose weapons that complement your ship's bonuses and your target's weaknesses. Always carry spare ammunition.
