Is LR PD laser really that bad compared to the others? Even to the normal PD laser?

pd laser

range :325
DPS: 75
turn rate: 75
flux per second: 50

LR PD laser

range 400
DPS:  50
turn rate: 50
flux per second: 40

lets take a look at missile speeds

50 speed missiles
phase charge launcher: hp 250 (3.3 seconds for pd to kill or about 165 range.) (5 seconds LR PD to kill or about 250 range.)

150 speed missiles
Atropos torpedo hp: 250 (3.3 seconds for pd to kill or about 495 range.) (5 seconds LR PD to kill or about 750 range.) ( i hope you have more than one hitting them LOL)
sabot SRM hp: 300 (4 seconds for pd to kill or about 600 range) (6 seconds LR PD to kill or about 900 range.) (again hope you are hitting it with more than one PD laser)

200 speed missile
pilum LRM hp: 75 (1 second for pd to kill or about 200 range) (1.5 seconds LR PD to kill or about 300 range)

250 speed missiles
swarmer SRM hp: 25 (0.3 seconds for pd to kill or about 83 range) (0.5 seconds for LR PD to kill or about 125 range)
annihilator rockets hp: 50 (0.6 seconds for pd to kill or about 150 range) (1 second for LR PD to kill or about 250 range)
hurricane MIRV (before split) hp: 200 (2.6 seconds for pd to kill or about 650 range) (4 seconds for LR PD to kill or about 1000 range)

300 speed missiles
reaper class torpedoes hp: 400 (5.3 seconds for pd to kill or about 1600 range) (8 seconds for LR PD to kill or about 2400 range) (i hope you can maneuver or put a lot of hurting on these things)
salamander MRM hp: 150 (2 seconds for pd to kill or about 600 range) (3 seconds for LR PD to kill or about 900 range)
harpoon MRM hp:100 (1.3 seconds for pd to kill or about 400 range) (2 seconds for LR PD to kill or about 600 range)

obviously some of these missiles split up or come in groups so... for those i hope you have serious area PD or your going to be takeing damage.

these numbers were taken from starfarer/starfarer-core/data/weapons/weapon_data

Where do you find this data?  I've wondered about missile hp, and the stats of weapons on fighters, and the mass stat of ships (for ramming math) but cannot find anywhere in game where its given.

awww man this post is 2012, it's outdated for 9 years

Yes, in general don't necro posts please! Better to start a new thread. I've split the topic in case people wish to keep discussing.

You can find the majority of the stats in the .csv files. Use a spreadsheet program like excel or open office calc to view them easily

New to the forums.. So 'necroposting' is commenting on old threads aye?  Why is it preferable to restart topics?  Thank you. 

[Thaago]

Its preferable here to start new threads both because the original posters may not be around anymore (so cannot respond to a question etc) and also because the game feature under discussion may have changed a lot since the time of the previous thread. The cutoff is a bit nebulous, but more than a year or so I'd say is a good ballpark to just start a new thread, with a link to the old one if the discussion is still relevant.

[Rauschkind]

dunno. i never understood that necro complaint tbh. even if the first poster is not around anymore, an old thread often contains useful information. making new threads everytime means throwing this all away. searching for the wanted information also becomes much more difficult if there are 15 threads about the same topic.

aaaanyhow. i understand that most have a different oppinion in this matter.
