- Some weapons are only offered at shipbuilders of certain races:
- G: General (all shipbuilders)
- A: Argon shipbuilders only
- P: Paranid shipbuilders only
- T: Teladi shipbuilders only
- If a weapon has different DPS vs armour and shield (AKA "Layers"), the following assumptions are made:
- The Layer that suffers the highest Burst DPS is assumed to suffer the in-game stated Sustained DPS
- The Layer that suffers the lowest Burst DPS is assumed to suffer reduced Sustained DPS equal to ratio of Burst DPSs
- Beam Emitters generate 1,000 MJ of heat while activating, and then generate relatively few MW to sustain the beam
- When Burst Ray weapons hit shields, 8% of their DPS bleeds through to the hull (e.g. 77 shield DPS + 7 hull DPS)
- Mass Drivers generate a large amount of heat per shot, and are unable to fire continuously (thus no MW heat stat)
- Muon Charger shots can be increased in power by holding down the fire key for some time before releasing it
