Hey all. I've decided to make a small compilation of the pure stats of all the diffirent weapon types. Do note that this is without taking external factors into account and as such don't make any conclusions without considering those. I myself make no conclusions, I will however make some notes.

All stats are purely from the weapons with no skills or any other bonuses with the average 2 damage type ammo.
Format is as follows:
Weapon: <DPS> DPS @ <Optimal Range>m + <Falloff>m for <Accumulator use per second> acc/sec with <Alpha Damage> alpha

Missiles:

  • Small Missiles: 4,66 DPS @ 150m + 0m for 0,1333 acc/sec with 35 alpha

  • Medium Short Missiles: 7,5 DPS @ 150m + 0m for 0,1428 acc/sec with 105 alpha

  • Medium Long Missiles: 5 DPS @ 330m + 0m for 0,1428 acc/sec with 70 alpha

Lasers:

  • Small Lasers: 5,5 DPS @ 150m + 100m for 1,25 acc/sec with 22 alpha

  • Medium Short Lasers: 11,26 DPS @ 175m + 100m for 5 acc/sec with 56,32 alpha

  • Medium Long Lasers: 7,33 DPS @ 325m + 100m for 5 acc/sec with 44 alpha

Magnetics:

  • Small Magnetics: 5,94 DPS @ 120m + 50m for 0,6 acc/sec with 29,7 alpha

  • Medium Short Magnetics: 12,47 DPS @ 150m + 75m for 2,6667 acc/sec with 74,8 alpha

  • Medium Long Magnetics: 8,8 DPS @ 290m + 75m for 3 acc/sec with 88 alpha

Guns:

  • Small Guns: 8,25 DPS @ 75m + 125m for 0,3125 acc/sec with 26,4 alpha

  • Medium Short Guns: 17,6 DPS @ 125m + 200m for 0,25 acc/sec with 70,4 alpha

  • Medium Long Guns: 11,83 DPS @ 200m + 250m for 0,25 acc/sec with 94,6 alpha

Notes:

  • Most Weapons more then double their DPS from Small to Medium Short, Missiles have just over a 50% increase. From Short to Medium Long most weapons see about a 33% increase. The Missile increase is merely 7%. Medium Short Missiles however do offer an alpha strike that is at least 40% higher compared to other Medium Short weapons. Long Missiles have an alpha strike that is only higher then that of Lasers.

  • Most Weapons see their acc/sec increase from Small to Medium. Guns acc/sec decreases.

  • Magnetics and Lasers seem very similar yet lasers use almost twice as much acc/sec. I do not know if the bots compensate for this. This seems mostly caused by the lasers higher rate of fire.

  • Guns have vastly superior DPS, this is most likely compensated by bot bonuses. Guns DPS is about 50% higher.

Again, none of these notes take into account any bonuses from bots and skills.

Well we have around 90 votes so far and all factions save Nuimqol are pretty even. Nuimqol seems to have about 50% more people though.

Why do you think this is?

Could be better looking robots, though I personally greatly disagree on that one. Could be the higher robot speed which would seem to be a rather big advantage in PvP or even for just reducing travel times. Maybe it's the slightly higher DPS of magnetic weapons?

So why did you go for the faction you chose? Let's see if we can get some reasons posted.
