In the FAQ it lists a table of damages for various kinds of weapons in the shareware version. However, some of the weapons have been changed for registered, so I thought I'd make a new table. It won't be very pretty, since I'm making it on the spot, but: Weapon: Damage per bolt: ------ --------------- Laser level n 10+(n-1) Each bolt from a quad laser hits for the same damage as a bolt from a non-quad laser. So a direct blast from level 4 quads would do 13*4=52 points of damage. Vulcan Cannon 4 (around 13 or 12.5 Vulcan rounds compose a unit) Spreadfire: 10 (This has been upped from 6 in shareware) Plasma: 11 Fusion: 30-60 (depends on charging time) Concussion: 25 (direct hit) Homing: 27 (may have smaller blast radius than concussion?) Mine: 21-24 (no rhyme or reason behind this) Smart Missile: 21 points from the missile blast itself 35 shield points per plasma blob (There are about six blobs) Mega Missile: About 186 shield points (seems to vary, the maximum may be 190, a nice round number) Note that the weapons possess characteristics besides their strength that determine their effectiveness in battle. Even a "weak" weapon may be more useful under the appropriate circumstances.
