Help Request For Weapons And Drones

As I haven't worked out how to make weapons or drones yet this is a help request for some weapons and drones.

I am making a mod that will need custom weapons and drones (Hint: It involves cats ;) ).

The following downloads of .zip files will contain the images and .txt files containing the stats.

Download for the weapons .zip file.

Download for the drones .zip file.

Also don't use the ClawGunFrameGuide.png that's in the weapons .zip file, It's just a guide for the frames mentioned in the weapons Stats.txt file.

I can create weapons by reverse engineering existing ones and using existing images (because I'm not great at the numbers game for that), so unfortunately I won't be able to help you there...
I can make the blueprint itself but the animations is something I can't create from scratch atm.
Best bet whilst waiting for someone who can and will would be to look into this:

You can also use an existing ship mod that's using a custom weapon and try reverse engineering it yourself.
If you're looking for some ship, check my Nebula Drifter.
It comes with a custom beam weapon and a custom bomb weapon.
It will be easier to reverse engineer from those as you won't get buried under a ton of weapon blueprints and animation sheets.
Anyway, the choice is yours, but making the step to creating your own weapons will be great for your own modding skills.
