Capital ship weapons
Introduction
The following table contains vanilla stats for capital weapons. Note that player versions of the missiles have different stats listed here.
Caveats:
- Stated gun turret DPS relates to perfect conditions. DPS applied in practice will depend on things like:
- The target's transverse velocity vs turret's tracking speed.
- Stated missile DPS relates to a perfect hit on a target's hull. DPS applied in practice will depend on things like:
- Whether a target moves out of range after the missile is fired.
- If the target has surface elements that are caught in the blast radius, it increases total damage applied per detonation.
- V Crushers realising they have hit a target's model (sometimes they fly through and out the other side...).

D: Damage.
s: Seconds.
ICH: Integrated High Calibre Cannon (AKA "Insanely Huge Cannon"); see point 3 below.
1. Pertaining to the Economic Logistics software groupings.
2. The spinally-mounted IHC fires a 3-shot barrage of 64 k damage projectiles, every 8 seconds, with an AOE effect (target must be in front to be shot at).
3. Plasma/JET fires a beam that may lose tracking while shooting; stats assume a 100% hit at close range (damages reduces a bit over distance).
4. First 3 volleys from Balors approaching from long range arrive close together due to sluggish missiles.
