Weapons by Size
Starships of the Galaxy · Equipment
In addition to the cost of the weapon varying by size, the damage dice and reload value for ammunition based weapons vary as well. There are two tables showing the various weapon systems that can be added to ships. The first is for size Tiny to Large ships, and the second is for size Huge to Gargantuan. A third table lists the types of tertiary ammunition that can be used by the tertiary weapon systems.
Tertiary and Quaternary Weapons
Ship Weapons (Tiny-Large)
When scaling a tertiary or quaternary weapon to a size Tiny ship, reduce the reload number by half. When scaling a tertiary or quaternary weapon to a size Medium ship, double the reload number. When scaling a tertiary or quaternary weapon to a size Large Ship, quadruple the reload number.
For instance, a Cluster Pod Launcher for a size Tiny ship has a reload of 6; for a size Medium ship has a reload of 24. Meanwhile, a Bomb Deployer for a size Tiny ship has a reload of 2; for a size Medium ship the Bomb Deployer has a reload of 8.
The damage done by tertiary ammunition for ships sized Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large is shown in the "Damage" column of the Tertiary Ammunition table. The number in parentheses is only used for ships sized Huge and Gargantuan.
Ship Weapons (Huge & Gargantuan)
When scaling a tertiary or quaternary weapon to a size Gargantuan ship, double the reload number.
For instance, an Assault Cluster Pod Launcher for a size Gargantuan ship has a reload of 48. Meanwhile, a Bomb Deployer for a size Gargantuan ship has a reload of 16.
The damage done by tertiary ammunition for ships sized Huge and Gargantuan is shown in parentheses in the "Damage" column of the Tertiary Ammunition table. The number outside the parentheses is only used for ships size Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large.
