Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
What is the difference between laser and ballistic weapons?
Laser weapons draw from ship power and generate heat but have unlimited ammo. Ballistic weapons use physical ammunition (limited supply) but bypass a portion of shields. Distortion weapons deal no hull damage but can disable ship components and drain shields.
How do weapon sizes work?
Weapon sizes range from S1 (smallest, for light fighters) to S10 (capital ship weapons). Each ship hardpoint has a fixed size and can only mount weapons of that size. Larger weapons deal more damage but are only available on larger ships.
Are the DPS numbers accurate?
Yes, DPS and other combat statistics are calculated from game data and updated with each patch. Note that in-game DPS can vary based on range, hit accuracy, and target shield/armor resistances.
