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

Weapon fitting interactive

0 DPS burst

Fit a pilot gun to each hardpoint; the totals update live. Gun data from build 4.10.2-LIVE.12881860. Opens on the highest-burst gun per slot.

S3 S3

Burst: 0 DPS
Sustained (60 s): 0 DPS
Alpha (one volley): 0

Pilot-fired guns only, at the size each mount accepts. Guns inside turrets are left out on multi-crew ships, because the game data does not say which seat fires them. Sustained is the average damage per second over 60 seconds of holding the trigger: burst DPS times the share of that time the gun can fire, then capped by the magazine. For an energy gun the share is fire time / (fire time + recharge delay + recharge time), where fire time is the capacitor load divided by shots per second. For a gun with overheat data it is time to overheat / (time to overheat + cooldown). A ballistic magazine that empties inside the minute caps it at rounds x damage per shot / 60. The ship's shared weapon power pool is not modeled. Alpha is the damage of every fitted gun firing once. Gimbal tracking and missiles are not modeled.

Component fitting interactive

Swap the shield generators, power plant, coolers and quantum drive. Shield, power, cooling and quantum figures below update with the fit. Component data from build 4.10.2-LIVE.12881860.

Shield HP: 72,000
Shield regen: – HP/s
Power requested: – of – segments
Cooling requested: – of – segments

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.

Quantum travel

Quantum speed: 275,943 km/s
Quantum range: 1,239 million km
Spool time: 8 s

Signatures

EM (idle): 34,858
EM (max): 67,078

Infrared and electromagnetic emission with the stock loadout. Lower is harder to detect and lock.
