Weapons

NOTES: Still working this out.

Weapon Firing:

When an engine fires its weapons they are fired as a volley. The sequence attribute dictates how many rounds are fired fired per volley and the sequence speed attribute determines the length of time between volleys as well as the length of time between sequence ticks. The damage per shot is calculated by dividing the firepower value by the speed sequence and then this number is divided by the number of shots within the sequence.

(Firepower/SpeedSeqence)/NumberOfShots=DamagePerShot

Firepower:

Represents the amount of damage the weapon can do over the course of a minute if no modifiers are in play and every shot hits.

Sequence:

This is a eight number binary array of on/off (1/0) sequence, each time the value of one is presented the weapon will fire at this point of the sequence.

Speed Sequence:

The speed sequence dictates the amount of time a sequence will run before it starts again, this value is divided by 8 to get the time between sequence ticks.

Example:

TL C.25 has the following attributes

Firepower - 1200

Speed Sequence 20

Sequence 10100000

We can use these attributes as described above to work out the damage per shot.

Damage per shot = (1200/20)/2=30

The same can be done for the tick rate and how the weapon fires.

Sequence tick rate = 20/8=2.5

This would have a real world implication of the TL C.25 firing at the 0 second mark, again at the 5 second mark and then being on cool down for the remaining 12.5 seconds before the sequence restarts.
