This is a multi purpose blade (a swiss army sword?) in that it can not only damage foes, but can also be used to reflect projectiles and enemy ships back in the direction they came from. The first of these is a honking great sword that is nailed to the front of your ship. However, weapons have only finite ammo, and so in order to keep bringing the pain, you have other resources at your disposal.
