Particle Beams

Particle Beams

Particle beams are rated according to their power output, in MJ.
Damage done by a P-Beam is log(MJ) * 60.
Each multiple of short range, the P-Beam does -25 damage.

Bay Particle Beams

Particle beams are rated according to their power output, in MJ.
Damage done by a P-Beam is log(MJ) * 60.
Each multiple of short range, the P-Beam does -25 damage.

12	24GJ Large P-Beam	+5	+265	6”	20”	25

Spinal Mount Particle Beams

Spinal mount particle weapons are the most common form of spinal weapons until TL12, where Meson spinal mount weapons become available.

The tonnage of a spinal weapon is always 10% of the ship's size. The Size is the size of the ship - 5 (so a 60,000t, Size 35 Azhanti High Lightning has a spinal weapon of 6,000t and size 30).

TL	Weapon	Atk	Dmg	Inc	Short	Size
10	Spinal particle beam	+0	x80	10”	15”	*
11	Spinal particle beam	+0	x100	10”	25”	*
12	Spinal particle beam	+0	x120	10”	30”	*

Damage is equal to log(tonnage) * TL modifier
