Will the weapons used in first-person shooting [and] ship boarding also be split between projectile and energy-firing weapons? Will the ones that fire bullets have finite ammunition? And where would all that ammo be stored?asked by Caliburn

So yeah, the weapons, think of them as scaled-down versions of the ship weapons, same technologies in maybe some slightly different forms as well. So it's not going to be the infinite ammo sort of thing that you expect from some shooter type games. You'll have to carry it on your person. So maybe you'll have pockets where you have ammo clips or something like that. But you'll have to have clips to recharge them.

But what about energy weapons?

Energy weapons don't fire forever either. They have batteries of some sort that you have to also recharge.
