This Comparison chart is useful for helping you select a better Beam. Check an individual unit's page for more details.
All values are for beam weapons of 100% quality. Note that player-built beams (up to 200% quality) enhance a beam's damage-infliction capability and buffs.
DPS = Damage per Second. Note that a fast-firing weapon with lower damage can disrupt a mob from employing its psionic effects against you.
EPS = Energy per Second. Make sure your energy use doesn't exceed your reactor's recharge rate!
NEW columns:
- A new "DPS 200%" column has been addded in response to an in-game chat request, in order to make it easier to compare 200% (player-made) items to Non-Manufacturable items. Note that the figure in a ▬▬||NonMf item's "DPS 200%" column will be the same as its 100% value. There is, of course, the potential for a looted NonMf item to have a quality value above or below 100% but, as this spreadsheet can't easily be coded for every eventuality, a 100%NonMf vs 200%PM comparison is all you get!
- A new "NegEfct" column has been added. Previously, all buffs (changes) to aspects of a weapon's or ship's performance were listed in the Buffs column, whether they were a positive change (a "buff") or a negative change (a 'de-buff'). The Buffs column now only shows effects gained which benefit you:— these can either be enhancements to your weapons or ship, or the power to de-buff your enemies. Any negative effect (de-buff) which is applied to YOU has been split off into the new NegEfct column. Sometimes you may be able to counteract a personal de-buff by installing another ship item which buffs (improves) the same characteristic.
