Weapons... is there a guide?

[HerosCasurus]

Wondering if there is a weapon guide describing the effects of all the weapons in the game (the automated female voice gives less than sufficient info) and if someone can post a link to it.

If there is no guide, is there a major difference between beta/alpha/gamma versions of the same weapon besides power?

roguey.ueuo.com has the info you seek.

Unfortunately roguey's info lack a critical stat when choosing a weapon, the shot velocity. I recommend this chart http://www.hentschke-keramik.de/rmh/x3_weapons.xls

[dunnno]

That chart is inaccurate (e.g. Flak ranges are wrong). Try mine. The stats were verified with the values shown in the game files with the X3 Editor.

Thanks, that's a great chart.

Is there a chart that shows the value used for OOS combat calculations?

Or, is it one of the values on the charts just posted?

[tclord]

Should be able to use that chart. From what I understand, OOS considers weapon range and damage per second, and every shot hits 100% of the time. More likely the damage per second is more important, though, seeing as how lasertowers suck so bad OOS.

This thread sounds like a good time to dust off my Dummies guide to X weapons-


Red/ Orange - Stop it! That tickles! (Impulse ray emitors)
Blue- Ow! that stings! (Particle accelerator cannon)
Green- Ah! it burns it burns! (High energy plasma thrower)
White- And i'm Dead. (Photon pulse cannon)

Loud- Run away run away! Damn too late. Dead. (Flak Artilary array)
Quiet- It's like being nibbled to death by Piranha! (Mass driver)
