Is it a weapon?

[Seilhenker]

For a swarmerdesign, I chose that weapon:

Weight: 1
Attack: 1922
ACU: 15%
En.: 4504
Total cost: 2cr

Is it a good enough design, or change less ACU for more attack?

[jessiedog]

try increasing the weight to around 2-4, decreasing the energy needed, and increasing the attack. 10-15% accuracy is usually good for a swarmer, so ur on the higher end, but since the swarm bonus effects attack and not accuracy, try maybe 11-12 % and more attack.

yeah, the energy is up pretty high, what do you want to pay for the swarmer per ship?

[Seilhenker]

The weapon was just a preview and I wanted to know if it is good enough as a weapon for a swarmerfleet. My actual swarmerfleet has 300 hull and cost just under 50k cr. I use a different weapon now. Has a bit more power with the same weight and acu, but also a bit more energieusage.

50k is a lot, the one i use cost 3.559 credits
if you have gold look it up its the Bad tiny stinger

I have that pricelimit, too. But the losses are getting too high for me, so I put some defence on it with defBonus. To support that with enough energie, I had to get a higher Powercore. I thought, what do I need for the ship, how much defence, hp it needs. Then I created the Powercore and weapon simoultanesly(heavy word). In the end I made the core bigger to get more energie on the weapon..... but I think, I can look that over again.... heyyyya.... not easy that designing.

8 Weight works best for weapon systems, when you can spare it. Link'd

ACU is a quite a bit more complicated. You can see the formulae I've used for superships here.
