Weapon stats

well to get a overview about the abilities of the many weapons in VO i wrote them all (i could buy with my lvl) down on a paper with damage done, reload time, velocity, energy use and some stuff which i had to count out myself, the important stuff:

damage done PER second and
energy use per second.

well as my list got longer and longer i thought it would help other players cause it took some time to fly from station to station and write down weapons and their stats.

so i thought i put that info on my website and here it is:

http://www.vo-weapons.de.vu (its in english ;-) ).

i hope i dont brake any rights or whatever, its just a non-commercial fansite. if i would happen to do so, plz a moderator tell me to remove the info.

this list is not complete yet and i will update it from time to time.

I like you :-)

You should probably check out tachyon blaster MK III. Its stats are worse than the MKIIs in every way possible so I think you might have made a mistake.
Oct 22, 2004 Genesisss link
thx maelstrom ;)

@starfisher:
yeah its true that the MK II (4285 dmg/sec) tachyon r way better than MKIII (1428 dmg/sec), like listed in the tabelle.

added more stats for beams and added missile/rocket section (60% completed).

if u know a stat to replace a "?" or discover a mistake (its 1:40am now....) plz email me at amacusa@gmx.de

good night ;)

Great work, Genesiss, keep it up! Also consider adding an http:// in front of your links to make them clickable. Like so:

(S)Tachyon Blaster MK III 200 0,14 175 11 1428 78
(S)Tachyon Blaster MK II 600 0,14 185 11 4285 79

0_o That just doesn't make any sense at all. Perhaps a dev should take a look at the tach mkIII for the next release?

Yeah, the Tachyon Blaster MK III weapon sucks. The only redeeming fact is that it's much cheaper than the mark I and II.
Oct 22, 2004 Phaserlight link
Any chance we could get a Rail Gun mkII as an alternative?... They use Xithricite rounds after all.

rail :)

Note that the Tach MK III does a 'large' amount of splash damage, which none of the other small weapons do. That may explain it's reduced stats in other areas compared to the MK II. Perhaps if you did Energy/Second/Meter^2 :P
Oct 23, 2004 Genesisss link
almost finished ;)

added the rest of Missile/Rocket Launchers.
changed the link name from "small weapons" to "Beam weapons" which is actually more suitable.

but i dont know alot of the license lvls cause as i started the list i already had a too high lvl to see the license lvls and with a patch they deleted the license lvl view if u were one lvl below that item. :/
now u can only guess which lvl u need for that new weapon.

view http://www.vo-weapons.de.vu for further info :P
should be a great help for new players and also for advanced players cause IMO its always important to know, which weapon has the best dmg/sec and energy/sec stat.

maybe add the potential damageoutput per amount of energyusage a second ?

so damage / (energy*second)

cheers

"maybe add the potential damageoutput per amount of energyusage a second ?"

good idea, i will work on that.

im also thinking about adding a small image to each weapon (the pic of the weapon u see on stations at "buy").
would be nice IMO but i need to try this out in tabel style and i think i need a permission of guild software for using their pics (not sure, so im going to write em a mail).

only problem is that i have very less time right now, i worked more on the page than i played VO this weekend :/

if u have more ideas, plz tell me, i would like to add it to my website if its improves its content.
also tell me if u discover errors plz.

And what of rails? :(
Oct 26, 2004 Genesisss link
ok, added DMG/E to the list for beam weapons (missiles dont need energy ;) ).
its interesting to see which weapon does most dmg and takes less energy for that dmg.
and important for our small reactors too :)

"And what of rails? :("

will look in that tomorrow (wednesday) although i cannot remember about having seen many projektile weapons.

plz tell me what u think about the new DMG per amount of Energy thing.

> ok, added DMG/E to the list for beam weapons (missiles dont need energy ;) ).

Screamers do.

IIRC something else too. Avalons? ;)
Oct 27, 2004 Genesisss link
thx for the info mr_spuck.
its a bit hard to figure out how much energy those energy using missiles need, cause its not displayed in the weapon menu.

the problem is that im lvl 7/8/8/2 and dont see all weapons, i didnt find that "seeker" missiles everyone is talking about right now and never saw "avalons" either.

would be nice if u could send me a screenshot of that weapons if someone can already see/buy that weapon.
i have 1gb mailspace on amacusa@gmx.de so it shouldnt be a problem ;)
just use VO as subject so i know what it is about.

Genesisss

PS: added railgun to the list.

seekers == all guided missles (maybe except geminis)

avalons == evil rockets that when fired at an object make basically everything within 500m(?) of said object go boom. They aren't in the game right now .. for obvious reasons. :P
Oct 27, 2004 Renegade ++RIP++ link
heeters = gemini

seekers = homers

avalons = nuke : taken out capital ship weapon. Imagine a huge screamer with a contact detonation but a 250m damage proximity. Or something like that :D. It was the perfect valk kill instrument. 1 rag, 1 hit. 1 dead valk :D
