Altairian Ship Weapons

General

Altairian ship weapons were developed by the Altairian faction. They are highly advanced weapons that maximize the usage of weapon mechanics such as chain, pierce and stasis. The Herald version is available to players, while the Oligarchs use a slightly different variant that is not available.

Like Xeno Division and A.X.I.S. versions, Altairian ship weapons have Regular, Heavy and Xeno versions. The Heavy version is significantly stronger than the Regular version, while the Xeno version is much stronger than the Regular version and deals Alien damage instead. Some Xeno versions even have built-in specials.

With the introduction of the Umbra faction, the newer Altairian weapons (Prime Vulcan onwards) have the alien damage version as a separate weapon, and the level 4 version as the "heavy version", as it is now a reusable item.
