Stryker AuneRinzler o7o7o7 has a nice guide on trading in open play with a t7, ship build and tactics.

HappyComrieGuys!

Soo, I just found out that the correlation between harpoint sizes and DPS (damage per second) is non-lineair, in different ways regarding each weapon.

In other words. A weapon deals rougly the same amount of DPS as the factor of it's class size number.
(I.O.W, a class 4 multi-cannon deals roughly the same amount of DPS than four class 1 multi-cannons)

But this correlation is actually non-linear, wich diffirents for every weapon.

Example: With multi-cannons the ΔDPS is decremental with size. Thus, one class 4 multi-cannon deals Less DPM than four class 1 multi-cannons or two class 2 multi-cannons, ETC.

However, With beam lasers the ΔDPS is incremental with size. Thus, one class 4 beam laser deals More DPM than four class 1 beam lasers, ETC.

Thus, if you've outfitted, for example, an Imperial eagle with one class 2 multi-cannons and two class 1 beam lasers you have Less total raw DPM than outfitted with one class 2 Beam laser and two class 1 multi-cannons!

Did you know this? Do you think it's usefull information, worth making a sheet on?

I'm on it! I'm calculating this for all weapons, I damn hope y'all are interested!!!

RafaelfantiHi guys, I'm here to make a request, this guy must be hunted "CMDR MegatronsFinger" checkout his videos on the xbox, he only kill players in cowardice, he not attack ho can defend him self, his target is cargo, passenger ships etc. He attack another ships inside the base, just hitting without making shot, just hitting... Just for fun

HappyComrieThat's because 4x class two hardpoint equals eight hardpoints, not four.

But yes, it is actually better to get multi's on the class two, and a beam on the class 4, because multi's relatively do more DPS in smaller classes and beams do better in larger classes.

Let's say you have one large and two mediums, and put something else on the remaining hardpoints. take a look:

2x class 2 beam laser         ,Thermal 12.52 DPS X 2 = 25,04 DPS

1x class 4 multi-cannon                          ,Kinetic = 23,06 DPS

V.S

2x clas 2 multi-cannon      ,kinetic 12.61DPS X 2 =25,23 DPS

1x class 4 beam laser                             ,thermal =32.68 DPS


If you compare the two loadouts you see that BOTH thermal and kinetic have more DPS simply by being in the diffirent class hardpoint, while it's still the same total amount of hardpoints!

Loadout A
Kinetic = 23,06 DPS
Thermal = 25,04 DPS

Loadout B
Kinetic = 25,23 DPS
Thermal = 32.68 DPS

And you completely ignore the size penalty vs hull on the medium hardpoints, which hurts loadout B big time. Coriolis now has an actual calculator showing you how long it takes you to destroy another ship with the configured loadout. I prefer loadouts with the kinetics on the larger hardpoints and the thermals on the smaller ones any day. The disadvantage against small and medium ships is minor, and the advantage against large ships is huge.

I believe you and I run a huge beam myself — though mainly because of my playstyle (and Bebop) and it making sense to have a perfectly-aligned fixed weapon be a laser — but I can't say I get it yet.

Can you break down the math a bit more and what is affecting kinetic vs. thermal weapon stacking DPS?

SonofMacPhistoComrie, would Premium Reload Synth tip the balance in favor of multicannons over beams?
