Classes of Weapons
You can choose between 3 Classes of weapons that you can buy in the RPG mode. Each has different efficiency in combat.
Manual Ship Shield
Sometimes you connot evade enemy's projectiles because there's to much action going on or an attack become imposible to dodge... Fear not! Your ship is equiped with a energy shield that can be activated with the right mouse button. This action can save your life and some enemy moves are made to be blocked with this device. When the shield takes damage, energy is lost (you can see the blue gauge on the right and in the ship info on the left). Be sure to put some skill points on the Defense skill bar when you level up, this way you'll have a tougher shield!
