Projectile Weapons
Overview
| | Autocannons | Artillery |
| |  |  |
| DPS | + | - |
| Alpha Damage | - | + |
| Tracking | + | - |
| CPU/Powergrid Requirements in general | Higher | Lower |
| Range | Low (Long falloff) | Extreme range for sniping |
Note: Tracking isn't an important factor since you'd probably be sniping with the artillery weapons at long range anyway
Ammo Types
Fusion, EMP and Phased Plasma are close range T1 ammo. They pack a humoungus wallop of explosive, em and thermal damage respectively.
Barrage is best T2 ammo (autocannons only) as it does the same damage as fusion but from a longer range.
Tremor is best T2 ammo (artillery only) as it gives a 80% range bonus.
Damage type for each type of ammo is shown below.
