just captured my first Hyperion and I'm trying to decide what weapons would be best to equip on its min battery now i just been running some numbers and it seems that CIGs are actually more powerful despite what it says in the in-game encyclopedia this is a little counter intuitive so i was wondering if someone could check my numbers make sure I'm calculating this correctly.
now according to this even though ISRs are technically the more powerful weapon due to the massive energy drain pound for pound CIGs actually end up doing more damage overall on both hull and shields even though each individual shot is weaker and its rate of fire is less, this is of course assumes a 100% hit rate against a big slow target for both weapons.CIG
Damage per Second (Hull): 3200 X 60 sec = 192000 Damage per min
Damage per Second (Shield): 9800 X 60 sec = 588000 Damage per min
Energy Cost per Shot: 246 MJ X ROF: 75 shots per min = 18450 energy cost per minute
Damage per min (Hull): 192000 / energy cost per minute 18450 = 10.40650407
Damage per min (Shield): 588000 / energy cost per minute 18450 = 31.8699187
ISR
Damage per Second (Hull): 3700 X 60 sec = 222000 Damage per min
Damage per Second (Shield): 10200 X 60 sec = 612000 Damage per min
Energy Cost per Shot: 124 MJ X ROF: 230 shots per min = 28520 energy cost per minute
Damage per min (Hull): 222000 / energy cost per minute 28520 = 7.78401122
Damage per min (Shield): 612000 / energy cost per minute 28520 = 21.45862553
