User blog:Owlfeathers0117/New RP Weapon Classification System

Well, the old system was really vague and didn't have a very wide range of options. So, I've decided to make a much more detailed and precise classification system. Hopefully this will help in letting everyone know exactly how powerful any given RP weapon is, and thus help reduce any accusations of godmodding. Post your weapons in the comments using the format I've given, and I'll add them to the main post when I can.

Note: Read the baseline examples I've listed for comparison before you post anything.

Damage: (how much damage the weapon deals overall, on a scale of 1 to 100,000)

Accuracy: (average MOA [minute of arc] or degrees deviation from point of aim for direct fire weapons, or the circular error probable [look it up if you don't know] at average firing range for indirect fire weapons and missiles. List both if the weapon may be used for either direct or indirect fire)

AoE (area of effect): (total radius of damage, preferably in metres. Give a short explanation if it can't be measured this way)

Penetration: (for simplicity, thickness of solid steel armor the weapon can penetrate [remember that most of a ship is not armor, usually only a fairly thin layer on the outside compared to the size of the ship])

RoF (rate of fire): (time between each shot, in seconds/minutes/hours/whatever, put N/A if one shot only)

Range: (how far the weapon can shoot, preferably in metres. For spaceborne missiles, distance travelled from stationary at full burn before fuel runs out)

Production: (approximately how long a single weapon of this type takes to create in RP on average, or time per batch if mass produced [state if so])

Resources: (how much resources are required to create one example of the weapon, on a scale of 1 to 100,000)
