ships.Interface.WeaponMetrics

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

Interface: WeaponMetrics

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:157

What one weapon does per second, sustained and unsustained.

Remarks

Frozen — nested records and lists included — so a result can be held, cached and shared without a defensive copy. Derive a changed figure with a spread rather than by assigning into one.

Properties

continuous

readonly continuous: boolean

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:196

Whether the weapon fires continuously (a beam or mining laser).

---

damageByType

readonly damageByType: DamageSplit

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:192

damagePerSecond split by damage type.

Remarks

Uses the split supplied in WeaponStats. BuildMetrics.weaponMetrics resolves damage-converting experimental effects, Plasma Conversion blueprints and a journal's own damage-type modifiers before calling this calculation, so fitted conversions report their resulting split.

---

damagePerSecond

readonly damagePerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:165

Damage per second while firing, reloads ignored.

---

damagePerShot

readonly damagePerShot: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:159

Damage of one shot — damage × roundsPerShot.

---

energyPerSecond

readonly energyPerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:169

Weapons-capacitor draw per second, in MW, reloads ignored.

---

heatPerSecond

readonly heatPerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:173

Heat per second while firing, reloads ignored.

---

powerDraw

readonly powerDraw: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:182

Power draw, in megawatts — what the weapon asks of the power plant when deployed.

---

rateOfFire

readonly rateOfFire: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:161

Shots per second; 1 on a continuous-fire weapon, whose stats are per second.

---

sustainedDamageByType

readonly sustainedDamageByType: DamageSplit

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:194

sustainedDamagePerSecond split by damage type.

---

sustainedDamagePerSecond

readonly sustainedDamagePerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:167

Damage per second averaged over reloads — the figure a long fight sees.

---

sustainedEnergyPerSecond

readonly sustainedEnergyPerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:171

Weapons-capacitor draw per second, in MW, averaged over reloads.

---

sustainedHeatPerSecond

readonly sustainedHeatPerSecond: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:175

Heat per second averaged over reloads.

---

sustainedRateOfFire

readonly sustainedRateOfFire: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:163

Shots per second averaged over reloads. Equals rateOfFire when nothing reloads.

---

thermalLoad

readonly thermalLoad: number

Defined in: src/ships/weapons.ts:180

The module's thermal-load stat: per discharge for a discrete weapon, already per second for a continuous beam or mining laser, in the game's thermal-load units.
