The Weapons officer manages the ship's arsenal, selecting the type of ordnance to fire at enemy ships. Artemis ships can be equipped with beams, various kinds of torpedoes, and proximity mines. The Weapons officer also has the ability to raise and lower the shields and control the main view screen, playing a vital role in both offense and defense during missions.

Key Responsibilities

• Select and fire beams, torpedoes, and proximity mines
• Target enemy vessels and coordinate with Helm for positioning
• Raise and lower shields during combat
• Control the main view screen for tactical awareness
• Manage ammunition and weapon cooldowns

Tips for New Weapons Officers

Work closely with the Helm officer—good positioning is half the battle. The Captain will call targets; focus your fire and communicate when weapons are recharging. Proximity mines are great for area denial, and beams require precise timing when the target is in range.
