Ship Builds & Load Outs How to calculate weapon power draw

[satakuua]

Hi all,

Is there a way to calculate and optimise weapon loadout based on power draw? Can I somehow see how well will a certain ship handle lasers, has someone created a calculator and/or tables for such a thing? I am mostly interested in whether or not a Python would be able to fire two medium beam lasers continuously, or is it only possible with medium pulse lasers. And if there is any sense in getting a large beam laser on turret underneath the ship?

I've tried to look for threads that'd discuss this in more detail, but have not been successful.

Thank you.

Try Coriolis it has a time to drain TTD tab that indicates how long the weapon capacitor will run a specific weapon loadout at 4 pips, about 78 seconds for two stock beams on a stock 7A PD, engineered with an efficient mod you could get more firing time have play around with it and see what works.
