Star Trek: Armada Special Weapons

One of the main aspects behind the faction differences in Star Trek: Armada are the special weapons of the available units. Most ships and some stations have conventional weapons (phasers, pulse phasers, puls cannons and torpedoes) which are considered to be ordinary weapons. But every ship has a special ability, that can be offensive, defensive or supportive. By default, these special weapons have to be researched, before being able to use then. They give their respective units certain advantages and roles. Usually they are used with one of the first five F-keys, depending on the used slot of the special weapon. Some are a passive ability, that you cannot activate in the conventional sense. Here is a list of the used special weapons for normal units:
