New to game. Looks cool. Hope to see you all around the galaxy.
A few brief questions... since the tutorial, the online guide here on the forums and the in-game newb chat is very helpful.
1) Turrets and ammo. Is there a reference guide somewhere on this and also, how do you use the ammo for the turrets? Is it automatic?
2) Lasers. Do they need power of somekind or are they always functioning when you need them? Any reference for this?

Ammo for turrets have to be of the same size. If you have a Small gun, then ofcourse you would need Small ammo. Different types do different things to the guns range and damage. So choosing wise will pay off.
Lasers i havent found it out yet, how it works.
But they do NOT work always. If your capacitator is empty, then they won't work. But neither will turrets.
All guns need Energy from the capacitator to operate (as far as i know).
And i dont know **** about rookieguns, so they might be a bit different

You need to load ammunition of the correct size for your gun as the previous poster stated. You can do this initially in the fitting screen by dragging ammo over the small circle part of the gun icon. In space you can right click the icon for the gun in your HUD and either reload with the same ammo or load a different ammo, depending on what you have in your cargohold at the time. Different types of ammo for a gun can do different damage types and also affect range, ie some ammo is high damage yet short range, other is longer range but less damage.
Lasers you fit a crystal to them, the crystal determines the range and damage of the laser, crystals do not get used up though, once fitted they only require capacitor energy to fire.
Edit: forgot to mention that some guns like the rookie guns you get with your first ship don't require ammunition at all, ie guns like "civilian gatling", they are the exception though and every proper gun you buy or fit later will require ammunition, with the exception of lasers as described above

Thanks a bunch :).
Is there any reference you know of (outside the game) that has detailed onfo on the guns / ammo, perhaps?
