Changes: Weapon

Revision as of 17:44, 10 May 2019

Weapons are split into 3 types: Ballistics, Missiles, and Lasers. Weapons in the Missile category also includes Torpedo and Mine weapons.

Some weapons have alternative versions that are either purchasable in Black Market, or unlocked after beating a campaign.

Ballistic

Ballistic, bread and butter weapon type. Most are strong against shields and less so against armor. Two fire modes: Normal and Burst.

Ballistic DPS = (Damage - Armor) * Fire Rate

Penetrating Damage calculation:

Dmg(C1): Damage - Armor(C1). C stands for Cell

Dmg(C2): (Dmg(C1) x Pen x (1-AntiPen)) - Armor(C2)

Dmg(Cn): (Dmg(Cn-1) x Pen x (1-AntiPen)) - Armor(Cn)

Missile

Missile, strong against armor and has splash damage, and most of them have tracking and generally have long range. However, they are weak against shields and point defense turrets.

There are four types of missiles:

Single-Fire. Missile(s) fired simultaneously and track target’s movement: Rocket Launcher, Rocket Turret, Missile Launcher, Impact Missile, Flak Rocket Turret, Hydra Rocket Turret.
Rapid-Fire. Multiple rockets fired sequentially and track target’s movement: Rocket Turret BM1, Arsenal Wall, Scorpion Launcher.
Torpedoes. Projectiles have a rounded nose and move toward target with limited or no tracking: Torpedo Launcher, Warhead Launcher, EMP Launcher.
Mines. Round spiked mines are dispersed from the module and float in space without any thrust: Mine Launcher.

Missile DPS = Damage x FireRate x AvgCellsHit

≈AvgCellsHit
High Avg ≈ Radius²/2
Low Avg ≈ Radius²/4

Averages may vary widely due to shape of target and location hit, the formulas above provide rough estimates for calculation purposes.

Laser, completely bypass shields, however they do the least damage against armor and generally requires a lot of power to operate. Lasers do continuous damage the longer they're fired. Do not have reflect.

Laser mechanics

The listed damage of a laser is the damage done to a target with 0 armour and - reflect if the laser is allowed to fire for the full duration.
Lasers deal damage periodically (unknown period).
The damage dealt each period is adjusted by the targeted module's armour and reflect.
Once the laser stops firing (either by the enemy ship leaving the firing arc or the laser reaching its full duration) the reload time begins.
- This means that in order to deal maximum DPS, the laser needs to fire for the full duration.

Here are the main laser types and how to identify them during the battle.

Rapid-Fire: pulsing blue beams connect the module to the target. Beam appears more intermittent than that of fusion weapons

Small Laser
Pulse Laser

Beam: orange beam connects the module to the target until target moves outside of range or firing cycle completes

Laser Beam
Laser Turret
Arcfusion Array

Fusion: constant beam connects module to the target. Continues firing if target moves out of range or firing arc

Fusion Ray
Fusion Turret
Melee Fusion Turret

Heavy Laser: thick pink beam connects the module to the target

Doomsday Laser

Maximum Laser DPS = ((Laser Damage(100-Reflect)%)-Armour)xLaser Duration÷(Laser Duration + 1/Fire Rate)
