Acceleration and boosted handling are the numbers most loadout tools skip; they decide fights as much as DPS.

Shield HP adds the strongest 2 generators, because this ship powers at most 2 at once (its shield power pool). Power and cooling are what the ship requests with shields up: the rest of the ship as the game data gives it, plus the fitted shields and coolers at their maximum draw. Requests above supply are normal; the in-game power pips decide what runs. Quantum range is the ship's quantum fuel divided by the fitted drive's fuel use. These relations were checked against every stock ship in the data before use. Saved on this device and shareable by link together with the gun build.
