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:
1. The Layer that suffers the highest Burst DPS is assumed to suffer the in-game stated Sustained DPS
2. 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
