I'm a bit confused/need extra information on weapons power drain.
Lets say i use power distributor C3-A.
it has 24.000 capacity, and 2.800 regen. i assume per second.
i will assume that these numbers mean MW. since it's what the game uses for ship energy consumption/total.
So in that ship i use 2xclas2 pulse lasers which draw 0.600MW each=1.200MW total
and 2xclass1 pulse lasers rated at 0.390MW each=0.780MW
with a total energy consumption of 1.980MW.
Power distributor gives a steady supply of 2.800WM(per second) but if i fire all weapons all 24.000MW of it's capacity is over pretty fast. even though they are supposed to draw 1.980mw which is lower than 2.800mw.
it can continualy fire just the 2x1C pulse(0.780MW total)
continualy firing the 2x0.600mw(1.200mw) slowly drains the capacitor! right..
If we make a hypothesis that a weapon's power use is per shot, then the 2x0.390wm pulse lasers(0.780total) fire 4shots per second (4.0/s) so a total of 3.120mw per second when both of them are firing.
yet with 4pips in weapons, capacitor doesn't drop at all. it starts falling when at 3 pips, stops falling at 3,5 pips.
The 0.600MW pulse lasers fire at a 3.6/s rate and if we convert it to MW usage per sec its 2.340MW each pulse laser per second=4.680mw per second.
but if we used energy per shot, the the 0.600 weap wouldn't use 0.600mw but 2.340mw. (remember ship current power draw/total available)
so... how about BEAM lasers which fire continualy. huh?
The above don't make any sense, because numbers don't add up. For them to make any sense, we'd need more info. As it is now. IT IS BUGGED. unless someone clears it up.
power distributor stats are WRONG, or weapon stats are WRONG. it's one of the 2.
I always want to work with numbers, because i want to make the most of my ship weapons and energy. But this just doesn't add up.
On a second note, ingame damage per second tooltip is broken. i have seen weapons dealing 3(3 bars) damage at a rate of lets say 2.0/s and a same damage weapon firing at 4.0/s or more showing that it has the same DPS. (please FIX this) doesn't make any kind of sense.
i can not decide on a weapon because the info given for them is broken.
These are some serious issues.
