Starbound offers a vast array of weapon types, each suited for different playstyles. Melee weapons (swords, axes, spears, daggers) are great for close combat. Ranged weapons (pistols, rifles, bows, launchers) allow you to keep your distance. Staves offer magical attacks. Shields provide defensive capabilities. Experiment with different combinations. For example, a sword and shield for tanking, or a rifle and pistol for versatile ranged combat. Legendary weapons often have unique abilities.
