Ships & Modules

Hey there,

I'm trying to figure out how much DPS a POS can do with each gun however I have no idea how to do that.
Currently I'm trying to calculate the DPS of a Small Beam Laser Battery.
I heard small guns use medium crystals, medium guns use large crystals and large guns use XL crystals. So these are the stats I can use:


Small Beam Laser Battery
Rate of Fire: 6 seconds
Damage modifier: 18x

Multifrecuency M crystal
14 EM Damage
10 Thermal Damage




So based on these stats I thought:

DPS = Volley damage / Rate of Fire


The problem here is that I have no idea what the volley damage would be. As the guns do 14EM and 10Thermal damage and the damage multiplier is 18, do I just calculate ((14×18)+(10×18) / 6) ?


Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance!

Oh yes, small mistake.

Here's the spreadsheet I made regarding the POS:

The weird thing I see here is that the pulse batteries have a higher volley than the beams. Aren't beam the low RoF, high volley ones and the Pulses the high RoF low volley ones?


Pulses have a higher damage multiplier and uses the same ammo as Beams. So only the damage multiplier makes them giving a higher volley. Am I making any mistakes?


Here are the "formulas" I used:

Volley = multiplier * base ammo damage
DPS = Volley / Rate of Fire

I'm trying to shoot a POS in a C2 thats why I was calculating DPS.

Do they have ECM? If they have ECM it's really going to mess with your logi chain. Also, do you have t2 logi? Id recommend 3-4 basi's just off the top of my head. Could probably do it with less, more if they have ecm.
