dmg/sec

[TiGGar]

Is it possible to add that stat to ship sheets  for easy compered dmg ?

like 100 dps reload 5 sec     so 20 dps per second
dps bonuses

with 20 dps per second its easier to multiplay it by bonuses.

ps great game anyway.

[Shrugging Khan]

Would be nice.

How do you show the effect of multi-shot ships thoguh? A significant number of ships shoot more than one shot at once.

Damage * Shots / Reload

Damage * Shots / Reload

MAX(Damage - Armor, Damage * 0.2) * Shots * Hull Multiplier / Reload

For full DPS against a specific target.  Armor can have a major effect against ships like MLRS, which have a ton of low damage shots.  And actually, I'm not sure if armor is applied before or after the multiplier...it could be:

MAX(Damage * Hull Multiplier - Armor, Damage * Hull Multiplier * 0.2) * Shots / Reload

(I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who knows which way the armor formula works.)

You know, because it's so much more fun to complicate things.   Of course, if you are only looking for base DPS (ignoring what it's targeting), which it sounds like the author wants, you would use the formula Draco mentioned.

dps per second

Laser gatlings should do dps per second. Maybe people would use them..

Of course, if you are only looking for base DPS...

Only base DPS is considered, as this was supposed to go in the unit's tooltip info.

[Aklyon]

The tooltip which is full of text already?

[Draco18s]

I think so, yep.

The second one, MAX(Damage * Hull Multiplier - Armor, Damage * Hull Multiplier * 0.2) * Shots / Reload

In other words, hull bonuses are a way to overcome high armor.

TiGGar: You might be interested in my spreadsheet, here.  The superweapons are out-of-date but most of the fleet ships, starships, and turrets are still correct or very close, apart from Laser Gatlings and Minipods, which both got buffed recently.
