I object to the Dram even making the list.

Which Gigachad will fill the table in for all modded ships?

Missing:
Venture (2x small missile)
Buffalo MkII (3x small missile)

Also looking at this chart, the design of this hullmod kind of puzzles me. Now I like obscure and hard to use mechanics in a game (in addition to 2d space games I like roguelikes and I am one of those people who get mad when weird instadeaths or marginal artifacts are removed) so adding more mechanics is great and I am all for this hullmod, but can't help but wonder - why does this have such a complex system of breakpoints? Like why come destroyers with 2 small missiles get the same amount of reloads as a frigate with 2, but cruisers with 2 get 3.75 times the amount of a frigate with 2, while destroyers with 1 small missile slot (which do not exist) get 1.5 times the amount of  frigate with 1 small missile and cruisers with 1 get 2.5 times the amount? Is it specifically designed to be especially good on the Eagle and Falcon?

Also does it work with synergy or universal mounts?

Also you should absolutely try Dram spam with this thing, for 2DP each you could get 20 Drams with Reapers and reloaders instead of 1 Onslaught

Funny, I had them in mind while making it but promptly forgot to include them.

No. Similar to how ballistic rangefinder only applies to ballistic mounts, this only applies to missile mounts. Now we just need a hullmod that only applies to small energy mounts and the trio will be complete! Of course, it must also come out of the box with a confusing tooltip.

Assuming the drams survive long enough to fire more than one lol. In my limited experience with spam, atropos are better because they can shoot over the allies in front which there will be a lot of when you bring 50+ ships.

I think it works for the most part, but I do have some questions about why the destroyers get shafted. The ones with 2 slots should get 6 points of reload if you ask me, but maybe Alex really doesn't want it to be good on hammerheads.

Not anymore, now ballistic rangefinder will boost all ballistic weapons, regardless in what mount they're in.

It would be neat if it were some kind of algorithm or continuous function so you could calculate in your head how many reloads a ship will get rather than look at a spreadsheet or very long tooltip.

Currently it seems like the first row could be generated by (3,3,)6,9,15,24. If you applied the same logic to the next row keeping the frigate column constant then they might be (2,2),4,6,10,16 or (1,3),4,7,11,18. Alternatively maybe it could be like (2,3,5,8)*3/((small missile count)^(1/3)) to yield 6,9,15,24 , 5,7,12,19 , 4,6,10,17 etc.

But the ship needs a ballistic mount to install new Ballistic Rangefinder at all.  Ships without a ballistic mount will be blocked from using the hullmod.

If the ship has a ballistic mount, then yes, having ballistic weapons boosted in other mounts would be convenient.

Is that why Atropos exist? I never knew they can shoot over/under allies.

Also the AI can shoot Atropos from sideways missile mounts, though they tend to fire it when it will flame out right before it reaches its target.

All guided missiles do that.

Nevermind, I’m just a bit blind.

4 reload points? Damn, guess the Sentry will still be the funny salamander spammer i like to use them as.
