Beam Fire Control
Beam Fire Control
This installation is used to control beam weapons.
Components
The components for Beam Fire Control are Beam Fire Control Distance Rating, Fire Control Speed Rating, Fire Control Size vs Range, Fire Control Size vs Tracking Speed, Hardening, Platform Type, Ship Type Limitations.
Beam Fire Control Distance Rating
This rating determines the range at which the beam will be at 50% accuracy. Values are 10,000km, 16,000km, 24,000km, 32,000km, 40,000km, 48,000km, 60,000km, 75,000km, 100,000km, 125,000km, 150,000km, 175,000km.
Fire Control Speed Rating
This determines how fast the fire control can bring the weapon(s) to bear on the target. NOTE: The final speed rating is determined by ship speed or turret speed. Values for this are 1,250km/s, 2,000km/s, 3,000km/s, 4,000km/s, 5,000km/s, 6,250km/s, 8,000km/s, 10,000km/s, 12,500km/s, 15,000km/s, 20,000km/s, 25,000km/s.
Fire Control Size vs. Range/Tracking Speed
These two items are very similar in that the player may reduce or increase the size of the installation for a bonus (or penalty) to the Range or Tracking Speed.
| Size | Range | Tracking Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | 25% | n/a |
| 34% | 34% | n/a |
| 50% | 50% | n/a |
| Normal | Normal | Normal |
| 1.25x | n/a | 1.25x |
| 1.5x | 1.5x | 1.5x |
| 2x | 2x | 2x |
| 3x | 3x | 3x |
| 4x | 4x | 4x |
Hardening
This is the same as the Hardening on Active Sensors/Missile Control.
Platform Type
This is a switch for Ship or PDC installations. PDC installations have the range increased by 50%.
Ship Type Limitations
This is used to determine if the installation can be emplaced on any ship, or fighters only. Fighter only installations have the base tracking speed multiplied by 4.
