F-80C Shooting Star

I know the F-80 is not exactly a modern fighter, it isn’t even in service any more, but I have had such a time figuring out what the plane was capable or carrying. I have info that says two hardpoints, some that says four. I consider at least four, as the wingtips are hardpoints, but I am so confused. Can anyone who KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT help me out here. If you can tell me a list of stores (weapons, fuel tanks, etc.), how many of each it can carry, as well as how many hardpoints. Rockets are what really have me confused. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. That’s my goal. The reference to the style of the 70s.

Nice!
The F-80 did great service in the UN’s action in Korea but was overshadowed by the success of the Sabre.
Arguably the finest first (or perhaps 1.5) generation jet.
