DPS is a complicated thing.

DPS is Damage Per Second. So the math can get a little confusing when things take longer than a sec to shoot.

(NOT ACTUAL NUMBERS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST IT SHOTS OFF HAND )

if it shoots 1 shot ever 4 secs then you take the posted damage and multiply it by 4 to get what the turret does per shot. If there are two missiles each will carry 50% of that shots damage ( I would guess no way to test accurately ).

What i cannot figure out is the listed ROF. Rate of Fire is a useless term without a unit of measure. All I know when trying to figure it out on the plasma turret I could not figure it out. Should be something like 10 shots a min or sec or what ever but nothing fits the actual tests. The plasma list 8 as ROF but it shoots 1 shot approximately 3.5 sec. if i remember correctly. So what the hell is 8 ROF? It's 8 shots per sec obviously, its not 8 shots per Min because the math work out to be an actual 17 shots per min. I guess it could be 8 shots per 1/2 min ?!!? but why in hell would you use 30 sec scale? LOL just use a min and double the number.

So if anyone knows how to the ROF fits into the math please let me know.
