Ship Building for Dummies

<< < (2/2)

Neithrantulre:
I made a spreadsheet that shows damage to each component per shot to each component (calculated by primary + secondary damage) and DPS to each component (including reload). Also color coded them my effectiveness and fire arc. I did not yet add damage values for utility guns, and I did not consider fire chance, so Hades Banshee and Dragonsbreath are more effective than listed.


I use this to build ships. It's interesting and easy to see in this graph that the light carronade actually does more overall armor damage per second than the Mercury. Several other non-intuitive thing have been utilised from this graph to make interesting and useful ships.

Keep in mind that the Mobula lower deck guns are offset by 35 degrees and the side guns by 45. The Spire side guns seem to be at 45.

I hope this is useful to someone. Tell me if there is anything incorrect or if the base assumptions behind using a chart like this are misleading.
