Ships Systems and Weapons

General Overview

Notes on weapon damage:

Rate of Fire (RoF): This is the speed at which a weapon fires. A RoF of 0.5 means that a weapon will fire every 2 turns. A RoF of 8.0 means a weapon will fire 8 times per turn.
Weapon damage is decreased when targeting a ship of a larger size class. For each class size increase, weapon damage is reduced by 50%. (Example: a cannon hitting a medium hull does 50% damage and a cannon hitting a large hull does 25% damage.)
Weapons hit all hull sizes larger than the base size class. Weapons can't hit hull sizes smaller than their mininum class.
- Small: Class 1
- Medium: Class 2
- Large/Huge: Class 3
- Planet: Class 4

Note: All colors indicate tech tree: Bio, Human, Cyborg, and Human/Cyborg. Icons indicate strategic resource requirements.
