   * Average is **not** 19.8/s, because that would require an averaging over the different ships.

+To get the damage rate of the ship they are simply added:
-  * The minimum damage rate is 9.6/s + 15.1/s = 24.7/s.
+  * The minimum damage rate is 9.6/s + 15.1/s = 24.7/s. (Actually it is 24.6/s, when you do the calculations without rounding each weapon's values before summing)

+  * The maximum damage rate is 11.3/s + 24.6/s = 35.9/s.
-**Note**: This of course assumes, that you are in firing range of both weapons. If the weapons have different firing ranges, then you might encounter the problem, that the target is within reach of the longest reaching weapon, only. Such considerations are not taken into account here. As one is usually only interested in the values resulting from optimal firing range, the //Negh'Var// has a damage rate between 24.7/s and 35.9/s, not counting its [[en:games:star_trek_armada_1:Ion Cannon]], or (when things are really dire) the [[en:games:star_trek_armada_1:Self-Destruct]].
+As was described for the ship's torpedoes, an average makes little sense here, unless a target ship is specified.
