@elite-dangerous-almanac/core / ships / weaponMetrics

Function: weaponMetrics()

weaponMetrics(weapon): WeaponMetrics

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:497

Everything an outfitting screen shows about one weapon: DPS, sustained DPS, the capacitor and heat cost of firing it, and the damage split by type.

Parameters

weapon

WeaponStats

The weapon's stats, post-engineering. A catalogue record works as-is.

Returns

WeaponMetrics

The WeaponMetrics.

Example

import { getModuleBySymbol } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/ships/modules';
import { HARDPOINT_MODULES } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/ships/modules-hardpoint';
import { weaponMetrics } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/ships/weapons';

const beam = weaponMetrics(getModuleBySymbol('Hpt_BeamLaser_Fixed_Small', HARDPOINT_MODULES)!);
beam.continuous;                    // -> true
beam.damagePerSecond;               // -> 9.8 (its `damage` is already per second)
beam.damageByType.thermal;          // -> 9.8
