the Jishaku AlNiCo RF Rapid Railgun and KE-31 cannon both outperform KE-49A. "Best" is a pretty bad word for stuff this complex. It all depends on the equation though. Fire rate × damage, hellfire is best. Firerate × damage ÷ energy, K-31 is best. Who knows what's best for firerate × damage ÷ energy ÷ mass. Bottom line, anytime someone says what is "best", take it with a grain of salt
Your best weapon calculations seem off. Please explain my oversight or error in following: The better ballistic weapon seems to be the Vanguard Hellfire Autocannon since it uses just 2 power, you can mount 6 of them dealing: 6 pieces * 7.5 dmg * 18 ROF = 810 damage per time unit at 12 power. Your suggested KE-49A Autocannon uses 4 power hence you can only use 3 which do: 3 * 5 * 30 = 450 damage per time unit in comparison.
Missing the Vanguard weapons. Unlocked after completing the first Vanguard mission that takes you to Tau Ceta.
Did my own calculations based off your data and the best Particle beam (PAR) weapon is the PBO-175 Auto Helion Beam but only if you have 4 of them witch it uses only 3 power so you can install 4 of them. If you can install 1,2 or 3 weapons though the Exterminator 95MeV Auto Helion Beam is better.
can't help but see you don't have any emp weapons, like the 'EMP-1000 Suppressor', there is a quest that requires you to board a ship by disabling it with EM weapons, but other than that one weapon (which is 'C' class sadly) what others are there?
