Speed Scale: Based out of 5
1- Slow, Capital Ships and other large craft
2- Fair, Heavy Cruisers and smaller Capital Ships
3- Moderate, Cruisers and other similar ships
4- Quick, Escorts and small ships, (Corvettes)
5- Fast, Scout Ships
Damage Scale: Based out of 5
1- Anti-Fighter, or small craft, not effective against main starships
2- Effective against smaller starpships (Corvettes, Destroyers)
3- Effective against medium sized starships (Frigates, Cruisers)
4- Effective against larger starships, and Capital Ships (Heavy Cruisers, Battleships, Dreadnoughts, Titans, and Leviathans)
5- Devastating power, that is effective against anything
(All weapons are effective against things on a lower rating. Ex. A level 4 weapon is effective on corvettes, though likely to destroy the corvette in very few hits)
Ship Weapons:
Missile Pods- Holds 20 Missiles, Usually used to take down transports or small craft. En Masse Missiles can destroy Corvettes
Weapon Rating- 1Photon Laser- Acts as an anti-fighter weapon, and a point defense against projectiles
Weapon Rating- 1Photon Cannons- Main Weapon of Ships. The most common ship-to-ship weapon, and is effective on Capitals en masse
Weapon Rating- 3Disruptor Cannons- Fires arcs of Fragmented Ion and Photon energy, Powerful, and is primarily used against Capital ships, and large Cruisers
Weapon Rating- 4Photon Torpedoes- Designed to slice through ships shields and armor. Effective at deactivating shields and melting armor plating
Weapon Rating- 3Gamma Ray Focusing Laser (GRFL)- Harnessing the gamma rays emitted by nearby suns, the GRFL cannon absorbs the gamma rays, focuses them, and fires them. Melts through shields, armor, and ships alike.
Weapon Rating- 5Black Hole Generator (BHG)- It is an ultimate weapon of the Raiken. It uses energy coils, building up raw matter energy with a sucking power. It is generated by a constant pulsing of the energy coils, and the "Black Hole", builds up on the end of the spire, which is contained in an energy void field, preventing the Black Hole from doing anything. After the Black Hole is ready, the spire uses one last burst of energy to fire it. The Black Hole is fired to specific coordinates, and it begins to rapidly expand, and sucking things into it. Raiken ships can be sucked in. The Black Hole reaches a certain size, and blinks away, leaving all ships inside it to be lost. After firing, the gun and gun reactor take days to cool down, making the gun a more last resort measure.
