Title. What is a good damage output for a 1k mass patrol corvette? It currently does 2k (8x rapid fire missiles), which is complimented by the turret, which does 1.2k damage.

Short answer: don't worry about it. New weapon update will change literally everything in the next few weeks.

Think of it in terms of your energy budget. How much weaponry can your reactor support effectively? Energy production that's not being consumed by ship systems is inefficient, and so are ship systems that don't have enough energy to recharge in combination with the other systems that will be used at the same time.

you're gonna want about 30-40 million damage per shot in that thing. Use missile beam overdrive to get that effect, and the power cost can go fuck itself since you'll only need one shot to kill your target anyways

I got it up to 7 mil damage per shot.
