Function: weaponsCapacitorMetrics()

weaponsCapacitorMetrics(input): WeaponsCapacitorMetrics

Defined in: src/ships/weapons-capacitor.ts:82

Calculate WEP recharge and time to drain while a weapon load fires continuously.

Parameters

input

WeaponsCapacitorInput

Distributor capacity, its rated four-pip recharge, sustained weapon draw and the WEP-pip allocation to model.

Returns

WeaponsCapacitorMetrics

Actual recharge, net drain and seconds until empty. timeToDrain is Infinity when the weapons draw no more than the actual recharge rate. A positive draw with zero capacity drains immediately (0 seconds).

Throws

If a capacity, recharge or draw is negative or non-finite, or weaponsPips is outside [0, 4].

Example

import { weaponsCapacitorMetrics } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/ships/weapons-capacitor';

weaponsCapacitorMetrics({
  weaponsCapacity: 20,
  weaponsRecharge: 5,
  sustainedEnergyPerSecond: 7,
  weaponsPips: 2,
}).timeToDrain; // -> 4.285…
