 The Damage Rating system, version 3, is a guideline to help figure that out. [[guide:damage_rating_v2|Version 2]] had values expressed numerically and a kind of hit point system for all targets. Version 3, often called "SADRv3" or just "v3", was proposed to fix the scaling problem between [[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#power_armors|power armor]] and [[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#mecha|mecha]] (among other issues), and introduced an HP-less solution that would work better with a roleplayed narrative and reduce the tabletop-style number crunching. The Damage Rating system, version 3, is a guideline to help figure that out.

-Version 3 looks at this from the standpoint of a weapon's purpose. [[guide:role-players|Players]] will see many weapons listing their purpose in the SARPwiki, going from //light anti-personnel// to //heavy anti-starbase//. +Version 3 looks at this from the standpoint of a weapon's purpose.

 The system's base assumption is that a //light anti-starship// weapon is meant to shoot down "light starships." There's also a matter of scale: if a [[guide:role-players|player]] shoots the same weapon at something smaller than a [[guide:starship_classes|starship]], it'll likely be far more ruinous. Against a larger [[guide:starship_classes|starship]], it'll likely do much less significant damage.  The system's base assumption is that a //light anti-starship// weapon is meant to shoot down "light starships."

 Keep that in mind as you read this article. Be it weapons, protective means or various vehicles, each article usually has a wealth of information to offer. SADRv3 is meant to add scale and perspective to those articles, but it does not demand — that is up to the narrative between [[guide:game master|Game Masters]] and the [[guide:role-players|players]] in their care. Keep that in mind as you read this article.
