Weapons Rating

The weapons rating of a ship is simply an integer that can be viewed from the construction menu. This is designed to help you make informed design decisions when balanced with your Hull Rating during construction.

Additionally, the hull rating is used as the requirement for the Battlecruiser.

The hull rating is the total DPS your ship is capable of with every weapon manned.

$$p = 5 * (Total DPS)$$

As such, if you have two weapons that deal 10dps, your Weapons Rating would be 100.
