As well as the primary and secondary weapon powerups, there are a number of other useful items for you to pick up. Following is a short list of some of the additional powerups and their effect on your ship (although they won't do much for your social life).
The shield powerup gives an instant recharge to your primary shield. It will not totally recharge your shield from nothing, but it does make a huge difference. While you probably shouldn't fly through a wall for one of these, you should make every effort to pick them up when they appear (especially when your shields are low), as they are quite rare.
The missile ammunition powerup adds six missiles to your complement. These powerups are not particularly rare, but missiles can often make the difference between life and death, so it is good to keep a large payload whenever possible.
