Does the "power" include the kT used by the weapon, too?

True Power = dmg/kt/reload
Pulse Power = dmg/kt
Punch = dmg

- True power is the most important for most situations.
- Pulse power comes into play for hit and run.
- Punch is very important against leaky shields and crystalline armor.

By "leaky shields" do you mean emissive armor ability effects?

Leaky armor typically uses crystalline/shield combos, but yes, emissive is another excellent example.

Heh ya,

For the techno illiterate how do I view the file?

And for the quick answer what are the best one shot weapons?

Cheers.

PvK
it also refer's to taking the armor ability out of the armor and increasing the hitpoints. more hitpoints means an unporportionally higher chance of being hit.

Note that it is leaky shields that make use of that. Leaky armor is just components with no ability that have lots of hit points, so they have a higher chance of being hit over other "internals," but there is no guarantee as with regular "armor."
