HP & Damage Output of Starships (all ships of Major Factions included)Updated!

[HobbesHurlbut]

If you want to skip this wall of text; go to the "page break" line (dashes). Remember those are only raw numbers, multipliers change their damage number depending on what target they are firing on.
Hello there! I will be doing a little sort of a series on a listing on the damage output and hitpoint of starships. First up will be the starships available to 1st Tier/Light Frigate Shipyard ofHealth and Firepower information on ships of 4 major factions of all tiers are available now. All of the data is taken from the manual, the mod files, and this section http://thrawnsrevenge.com/factions/ current with mod version 2.1/2.15.  If there are any error, please let me know.

As you can see the weapon stats below show that Proton Torpedo tear down Shields almost as well as Ion Cannons does, but if you want to take down the shipyard with extreme prejudice bring a boatload of the torpedoes! Turbolaser hit frigate type shield hard but not as hard as the hull of the starships.

DPV is Damage Per Volley (Total sum of Pulses from a hard point between recharges)
DPS is Damage Per Second (DPV is divided by the recharge time to find this value)
The multiplier number next to them is an indication for the total of hardpoints of the particular weapon on the ship. So, to figure out the total firepower of your ship; multiply the DPV/DPS by the hardpoint number and add together all weapons mounted on it (ion cannon may be separated as it affects only the shields). Not all of the hardpoints will always fire on the same target and over the course of the battle the total firepower of your ship can be decreased by loss of hardpoints.

Dual multiply the base damage of the weapon by 2, Quad by 4, and Octo by 8, straightforward.

Ion Cannon always damages shield in full (no positive/negative multiplier). They don't damage hull/hardpoints (to my knowledge).

Maser Cannon and Megamaser have the same recharge time and multipliers as Laser Cannon and Turbolaser do; Maser Cannon differs in that it has increased base damage over Laser Cannon.

Missiles have a longer recharge time than the direct-fire cannons (base 4 sec vs 15 sec).

Laser Cannon Multipliers;
Vs. Fighter Shield/Armor 1x, Vs Frigate/Capital Shield 0.25x, Vs Ship Armor 0.5x, Vs Station Armor 0.25x

Turbolaser Multipliers;
Vs Fighter Shield 1x. Frigate Shield 2x, Capital Shields 0.75x;
Vs Fighter Armor 0.5x, Ship Armor 3x, Station Armor 1.5x

Concussion Missile Multiplers;
Vs Fighter/Frigate/Capital Shield 1x;
Vs Fighter Armor 1.4x, Ship Armor 1x, Station Armor 0.5x

Proton Torpedo Multipliers
Vs. Fighter/Frigate/Capital Shield 3x;
Vs Fighter armor 1x, Ship Armor 2x, Station Armor 4x

Rhazor Missile
Vs. Fighter/Frigate/Capital Shield 1x;
Vs. Fighter armor 1.4x, Ship Armor 1x, Station Armor 0.5x

The plus number next to the HP amount for the shield stat is the refresh rate at which it recovers shield HP. Also, it's no wonder many of the ships on EotH lineup are tough: their shielding are of capital type strength!

Well, hope yall find the OP useful.

[the_trots]

Thank you.

[HobbesHurlbut]

Thanks for replying, it helped me to realize that I left out the weapon information for Carrack and Lancer.

Haven't found the health hitpoints on Interdictor Star Destroyer and Home One MC80. Simply because they're named differently and located in different files.

[briG]

Wow I had no idea the normal ISD put out 600 ion cannon damage per volley! I NEVER used it before just because I assumed the ISD-II was better since I could see more big turbolaser hardpoints. 6 ion cannons with 10 pulses to represent 60 will do that I guess. That would actually work so much better with my normal complement of 4x VSDs. VSDs to eat hull, ISD to rip through shields.

Thanks for this.

The ion cannon firepower is only relevant while the enemy ship's shields are up. ISDII has slightly better hull health and immense turbolaser firepower increase.
Also, don't forget that a typical ship doesn't tend to concentrate all of its weapons on one target sometime.

Oh I'm quite aware. I wouldn't call a 43 turbolaser DPS dps gain over losing 85 ion cannon DPS to be a vast improvement.

I tend to micro my units a lot, so for me it's a marked improvement. If I was to be lazy about it then sure, ISD-II would be the go-to for cinematic mode.

Multiply that turbolaser DPS gain by 3 against hull. 

[briG]

Multiply that turbolaser DPS gain by 3 against hull. 

That's what I have my VSD-Is for. They shoot frigates until my ISDs drop the shields of a capital ship and then they focus fire the capital ship while the ISDs shift focus to another one.

It's the same way I play EoTH space combat, except my capital ships are stripping shields, not the frigates.

[Revanchist]

For me, if I want Ion Cannon power as the Remnant I'd rather bring in some combination of Carracks and Strike Cruisers. But I've never really some tons with the ISD 1 so it's possible I'm missing something huge.

[briG]

I'd never use the Strike Cruiser because it's bad. It fails what I like to call "the Dreadnaught test".

'If a ship is two population cost, or one population cost and and it's firepower multiplied by two, has less turbolaser firepower than the dreadnought or has mixed armament that doesn't do significantly more DPS total than a dreadnaught, it eats garbage and you should never use it(unless you still want to for some reason).'

Edit: In the case of 3 population cost ships, same as the above except the breakpoint is 131 turbolaser dps(50% increase from 87.5dps). I also haven't really come up with a metric for fighter compliment but unless the ship is a carrier or you're the NR it generally doesn't matter all that much. Also this doesn't apply to ships whos main job is to kill starfighters.

The Carrack is quite nice at filling out a fleet though and is small enough to not get in the way of other ships.

To add to my ISD-I vs ISD-II argument, even if you value ion cannon DPS only half as much as turbolaser DPS, adding up the turbolaser dps, dividing ion cannon dps by two and adding it to the turbolaser dps totals up to about 202 and 202.5 for the ISD-I and ISD-II respectively. In which case they are rather closely matched and how effective one will be over the other depends entirely on how well you play to either's strength. In the broadest sense, ISD-I is better at killing capital ships who only take .75 damage from turbo-lasers when their shields are up, and ISD-II is better at killing frigates all the time.

If anybody cares, here's a exhaustive  list of frigates that pass the dreadnaught test:
IR
Carrack Cruiser
Vindicator Class Cruiser
VSD-I


NR
Bothan Assault Cruiser(just barely in terms of damage but still a great ship since it's tanky and basically passes for a carrier)


EoTH

Kariek Class Cruiser
Decimator Class Cruiser
Chaf


PA
Vindicator Class Cruiser
VSD-I

[HobbesHurlbut]

Bear in mind that turbolaser firepower is reduced by 25% against capital shields. Ion Cannon has no multiplier that increases OR decreases the damage. So you need a durable platform that has good Ion Cannan firepower against capital ships and SSDs.

I mentioned that in the above post.
