Ship Equipment Statistics

Looking to min/max your ship build? Wondering how many guns you can fire simultaneously fire before you start to overburden your old weapon generator? Look no further! Pulled data from the game files and put in one place to make everything that much easier...

Introduction
I made this guide as for an old game I was surprised to find many modders and discussions around this game and its statistics, but no steam guide giving the basics straight to the player. I wanted to know just how many Energy Shell Cannons I could fire off simultaneously before diminishing returns set in, and whether I could really get away with those Sliver Cannons tickling the sides of another unshielded frigate at the same time...

Well now I know.

When deciding on the best weapon load-out please note that in the following tables I have omitted accuracy as they are affected by a wide range of variables including ship speed, positioning, ecm, eccm, etc. Consider this data to be maximum possible damage output given favourable circumstances -- it is up to you to make that happen.

Good luck, Captain!

Conclusion
I am likely to include the statistics of the enemies as well. Want to know how many seconds your build should strip shields and pop that frigate under ideal circumstances? Sure.

If you find any errors or omissions, or would like something added sooner than later, please let me know.

Happy flying.

@robertino129 The "basics" referred to is the literal basic data that is omitted from the game and presented as bar graphs only. How to play the game, such as the concept of range, is dealt with in-game within the first 10 minutes of playing.

@robertino its split up into 3 ranges. CQC (All normal guns) Artilary (Missiles and electron bombs) Fighter launch

range, the most important stat is missing. Poorly written guide that is useless for what it sets out to be "giving the basics straight to the player"
DrewUniverse 14 Jan @ 9:50am 
@CaLiDiUM - Only one Support Generator can be active. If you have one, it generates battery reserve power which you can drain to boost a power category over 100% temporarily, such as Engines. Two generators will not increase battery regen, unfortunately. The only benefit of a second Support Generator, is that it will activate if the other one is offlined or destroyed in a mission.
CaLiDiUM 7 Jan @ 8:44am 
thanks. does installing more secondary generator improves energy recharge or do they work together to charge up faster. or only one sec generator is in action at given time
Shaitan  [author] 30 Mar, 2024 @ 11:27pm 
I don't have the game currently installed so I can't dig through the data at the moment, however if I'm not mistaken you can go to "...universe/tactics/tacticstypes.ini" and search for a particular weapon using the 'var' I have listed for that weapon. Listed should be a penetration value.

I believe I chose to omit this information initially as to keep this guide clear and concise, with the understanding that each higher tiered laser has a higher penetration ability. However in hindsight I should have included this data figure and included the math calculations along with this guide for clarity of those who wished for it.

It should be something like Penetration(Weapon)/Defense (Shield) expressed as a percentile if you wanted to work it out.

Sorry I can't be of any more help as I collated the data and wrote this guide over two years ago.

Good luck and enjoy the game!

Interesting, I've always assumed that damage of gatlings/plasmas against shields is negligible, but these tables show its not the case. Now, some info that would also be useful:
1) What is "Defence" stat of shields?
2) How much of lasers dps goes thru shields, and what is hp of devices?
Anyway, thanks for your work so far.
Panorpa 23 Apr, 2022 @ 10:59pm 
Yes advanced sensors do use more power, not sure how much though.
Maniac 6 Feb, 2022 @ 8:50am 
Missing the data on things like sensors and ECM.
My personal experience has shown that the advanced sensors use more power.
Varathius 28 Jan, 2022 @ 5:32am 
Thank you very much for your time and dedication doing this.
