Thanks for this - amazing work!

A couple of things:

- What about the various sets that give an additional percentage boost based on weapon type (Jem'Hadar set - +7.6% to Polaron weapons, Temporal Warfare set - +27.4% to Chroniton projectiles, etc.)

- FYI, I once read in a now ancient archived post (pre-Season 5, I believe) about how rarity and the damage mod affects the dpv of a weapon. IIRC if a weapon had the [DMG] mod it was +5% dpv, but if it was a different mod ([Acc], etc.) it was only something like +.25% dpv. The [DMG] mod didn't stack with the extra +.25%. So for example if you had a very rare weapon with three non-[DMG] mods, you'd only get a +.75% increase to dpv, and if you had a very rare weapon with one [DMG] mod you'd get a +5.5% increase to dpv. Food for thought - I'm not sure if this info is still relevant any longer (and I intend on testing as soon as I can), but thought I'd throw it out there in case it was useful. EDIT: did a quick test on a DHC in game and the values are VERY close - only a 2.3 dpv difference - I'm thinking this info above no longer applies. Again, well done!

I'm ttesting stuff like the sets as i get chance .

Thats why you haven't seen any more from me. That and getting ready for S7 hitting .

For the people that have looked at the spreadsheet was there any large errors?

also i am thinking of expanding what the spreadsheet can do. i will add mines and other set bonuses but are there any other request?

Well one thing i've found that i'm going to detail in my bigger post i've got written out is that Mk 0 to Mk I is a 10.2% increase for energy weapons. It's straight 10.2% for all weapons per Mk from base. I think the 8.2% scalar for torps must be a bug of some kind.

I tried to test this but I am still getting the same 8.2% from base to Mk I then the 10.2% for every other Mk level.

Maybe if I had your stats I could find the problem.

But with no skill point used on a level 18 engineering character with weapons power at 100 a 7.5% tactical console adds 26.1 damage. At 100 power the bonus is 200% so the console gave 13.05 or 7.5% of 174(base damage for dual heavy cannon). Using that base damage the value for every mark is dead on. If checking the tool tip from items on the exchange.

Maybe a DEV can help point out where the error is? Just a little hint? Please?

I haven't had much time testing this as I'd like, but so far, so good!

Wish list:

- There are accolades that provides +2% to a particular damage type (list can be found here). I don't know how this bonus is applied, but it may be worth looking into.
- Many ships don't have 5 tac consoles, so the ability to "nullify" a tac console slot or three could be helpful.
- Multiple weapon slots?
- This would add an extra layer in a way, but being able to compare critical chance and critical severity versus sustained damage. For example, a fun comparison could be Polaron Weapons + the Jem'Hadar Set Polaron damage bonus versus the average additional crit damage from Antiproton weapons - what has more total damage output?

@Queue38: i did it by getting a basic phaser array from a miranda and then going to the equipment store at ESD and just mousing over the numbers. I can't get in game right now obviouslly but on my character i saw +8.2DPS/10.2DPV per Mk, and base was 80DPS/100DPV.

When the server comes back up i'll run and grab a bunch of screenies for you.

I want to know the power drain effects on weapons. From the little testing I did do tonight it seems the aging calculator released 5 years ago is not longer as, um, accurate as it used to be.
