Sorry about the format...maybe somebody who knows how to format properly can fix...

Positron Gun	50000	3	254	22	57	4.46	11.55	17	14.94	0.77
M!@#$%^&* Driver	50000	1	130	11	31	4.19	11.82	8	16.25	0.73
Sharppinger	100000	2	194	17	38	5.11	11.41	3	64.67	0.18

 

 

Dam/E is an energy efficiency rating, Dam/S is a damage-per-second rating. Ammo Burn Rate is Ammo Used/Delay to compare how fast various guns will burn through ammo.

 

Beam array is very energy and ammo efficient. Pulse is balanced, disruptor gets more Dam/S for a bit less efficiency, and Shredder delivers big damage at high energy and ammo burn rates.

 

I would do this same analysis for the bombs but somebody needs to explain to me how the base damage changes by bomb level and the contribution of shrap.

 

Ships

 

Ship	Cost	Init/Max Energy	Init/Max Recharge	Init/Max Speed	Init/Max Thrust	Init/Max Rot	Bullet Speed	Bomb Speed

One change to note is that the terrier has been boosted across the board.

What I was looking for was:

 

The base damage is 750 I believe. Does it change for L2 and L3 bombs?

 

How does inactive shrap damage work?

[Syrith]

base dmg doesn't change. inactive shrap is the shrapnel that hits the ship almost immediately after the bomb explodes.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

BTW the dmg/s amounts are wrong and the burn rates are wrong too. the delay is in milliseconds

[Deathmonger]

Um, ok pretend they're MS and they're still correct ratio-wise.

[Gar]

Guess nobody realized that I already did all this, with more values and correct values, and for bombs and sublights.

Helpful, but Sharppinger doesn't use any ammo, FYI.
