About this converter

EVE Online turrets multiply ammo damage by a fixed damage modifier. A 280mm Howitzer at 7.043 times turns 12 damage ammo into about 84 base damage, while a Gatling Pulse Laser at 1.5 times turns the same tier into 18. This table ranks 15 CCP Tech 1 frigate turret modifiers on one scale, from the Entropic Disintegrator at 0.8 to the Howitzer at 7.043. Autocannons sit near 2 to 2.9, railguns sit near 1.65 to 3.025, blasters sit near 1.84 to 3.675, lasers sit near 1.5 to 3, and artillery sits above 5. Rate of fire then sets DPS.

How to use it

Pick two turrets and the damage unit in the top row, for example Howitzer and Pulse Laser with damage. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds counts of the first turret, one holds counts of the second, one holds the total multiplier in the chosen unit. Try 1 Howitzer against Electron Blasters to see the near six times gap. Click any row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.

Paper damage is ammo total times turret modifier before hit rolls. Short range Tech 1 charges deal 12 total at small size, mid range deal 8, and long range deal 5, with medium double and large quadruple. Hit chance then spreads each shot from 50 percent to 149 percent, with 1 percent wrecking shots at 300 percent. Faction ammo adds 10 to 20 percent on top, and skills add 5 percent per level. Drones, missiles and capital guns sit outside this frigate turret table.

FAQ

What is the highest damage turret for frigates?

The 280mm Howitzer Artillery I at 7.043 times. The 250mm Light Artillery at 5.082 is next.

How do I get base damage from the multiplier?

Multiply ammo total by the modifier. EMP S at 12 total times 2.0625 gives 24.75 base before hit rolls.

Does the modifier equal final DPS?

Yes. Each hit rolls 50 to 149 percent of base, plus 1 percent wrecking shots at 300 percent. Paper DPS divides base by rate of fire.

Why is the Disintegrator only 0.8 times?

Spooling. Each cycle adds about 7 percent to a max near 212.5 percent after 30 shots, which resets if the target leaves range.
