-These rules **do not** address the following topics, due to the fact that we believe it is the job of the [[guide:submission_review|submission reviewers]] to determine whether or not a submission is overpowered, not the job of yet more rules whose presence would only make it even more difficult for content creators to contribute to the setting.  +

 ===== How much weaponry? ===== ===== How much weaponry? =====
-Usually, for infantrymen and power armor, this is self-explanatory... or at least easily ruled on. No one expects an infantryman or a power armor to dual-wield bazookas while carrying four spares on their back. For mecha and starships, however, it becomes more nebulous. The rule we offer is: a rough maximum of 8 same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapons as the unit carrying them and an absolute limit of 10 same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapons as the unit carrying them.+Usually, for infantrymen and [[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#power_armors|power armor]], this is self-explanatory... or at least easily ruled on. No one expects an infantryman or a power armor to dual-wield bazookas while carrying four spares on their back. For larger platforms such as [[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#mecha|mecha]] and [[:starships|starships]], however, it becomes more nebulous. The rule we offer is: __a maximum of 8 On-[[guide:damage_rating_v3#tiers|Tier]] Weapons (OTWs) and a max of 2 Tier-Equivalent Weapon Groups (TEWGs).__
  
-  * Getting a higher-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapon costs 2 weapons of the [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] below.+  * Getting a higher-tier weapon costs 2 weapons of the tier below.
  
-  * Getting a lower-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapon costs 1/2 of a weapon from the [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] above.+  * Getting a lower-tier weapon costs 1/2 of a weapon from the tier above.
  
-Here are a few things to keep in mind:+  * OTWs can be converted normally into lower-tier weapons and higher-tier weapons.
  
-  * For weapon systems that use ammunition with different [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tiers]]: the ammunition with the highest [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] determines the overall [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] of the weapon system.+  * TEWGs can only be converted into lower-tier weapons and can only contain weapons below the tier of the weapon's host platform - more on this in the section below.
  
-  * For weapon systems located in turrets (like the [[stararmy:type_31_secondary_anti-starship_turret|Type 31 Dual-Cannon Turret]], the [[nepleslia:fortress_point_defense_system|Fortress Point Defense System]], or the //[[nepleslia:primus_battleship|Primus]]//[[nepleslia:primus_battleship|-Class Battleship's]] [[nepleslia:primus_battleship#primary|Quadruple Plasma Lance Cannon Turrets]]): each individual turret is counted as a single weapon system, regardless of how many barrels or weapon systems the turret itself contains. The turret's [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] is determined by the highest-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tiered]] weapon system equipped on or within the turret itself; lastly, a word of warning: this should __**not**__ be used to justify overpowered abominations like "turrets" with four autocannons, eight mini-missile launchers, //and// eight missile launchers. 
  
-  * For missile systems with a single “launch tube” and a loading system for internal ammo storage, similar to the torpedo tubes found on modern-day submarines: each “launch tube” counts as a single weapon system and is calculated just like above. +==== What is a Tier-Equivalent Weapon Group? ==== 
-  +A [[guide:damage_rating_v3#tiers|Tier]]-Equivalent Weapon Group (TEWG) is a group of lower-tier weapons whose combined "purpose" (read: damage output) is equal to their host platform's tier. Consider, for instance, a Tier 10 (Light Starship) vessel like the [[stararmy:starship_classes:yui_7_scout|Yui 7-class Scout]]. The following are just a handful of the combinations that would count as a single TEWG for the Yui 7:
-  * For missile systems with multiple single-shot “launch tubes,” like the VLS (vertical launch systems) found on modern-day guided missile destroyers or the hardpoint-mounted missile racks and rocket pods found on modern-day military aircraft:  each "cluster" - be it an individual hardpoint, a cluster of vertical launch system cells, an individual pod, an individual rack, or anything of a similar nature - counts as a single weapon system. +
  
-  * For weapon systems located internally in and/or externally mounted on [[guide:damage_rating_v3#armor|shields]]: these weapon systems count towards the rough maximum of 8 same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapons and the absolute maximum of 10 same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] weapons.+  * 2 Tier 9 (Heavy Anti-Mecha) [[stararmy:weapons:type_31_secondary_anti-starship_turret|Type 31 Secondary Anti-Starship Turrets]] 
 +  * 1 Tier 9 (Heavy Anti-Mecha) Type 31 Secondary Anti-Starship Turret + 4 Tier 7 (Light Anti-Mecha) [[stararmy:weapons:anti-fighter_turret_type_31|Type 31 Anti-Fighter Turrets]] 
 +  * 8 Tier 7 (Light Anti-Mecha) Type 31 Anti-Fighter Turrets 
 +  * 6 Tier 7 (Light Anti-Mecha) Type 31 Anti-Fighter Turrets]] + 8 Tier 5 (Medium Anti-Armor) [[stararmy:weapons:type_32_medium_anti-armor_turret|Type 32 Light Anti-Armor Turrets]]
  
-Remember that it doesn't matter whether you call the “missile” a torpedo, missile, rocket, rocket-propelled grenade, or something else entirely. What ultimately matters is its tier - nothing more, nothing less. +A gun capable of firing Tier 10 (Light Anti-Starship) [[stararmy:weapons:ke-d7-w3200_mass_driver_gun#rounds_and_their_damage|300mm solid mass driver rounds]], however, would //not// be considered a TEWG for the Yui 7-class Scout. It would instead be considered an OTW, due to the gun's ammunition being the same tier as the Yui 7.
  
-===== Tier Conversion Table ===== +==== Notes ==== 
-The following table is included for usage as a quick reference when creating and/or reviewing new or pre-existing setting elements. +//The following are additional notes and errata for the rules described above.//
  
-==== Usage ==== +  * **[[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#mecha|Mecha]], [[guide:aerospace_craft|small craft]], [[:starships|starships]], and [[guide:ground_vehicles|vehicles]] with more weapons than the recommended maximum of weapons may not be approved due to being too overpowered.**
-//Note: "Host platform" refers to the [[guide:mecha_and_power_armors#mecha|mecha]]/[[guide:aerospace_craft|small craft]]/[[guide:starship_classes|starship]]/vehicle/etc. a weapon system is mounted on.//+
  
-  * **//[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|Tier]] Difference://** The numerical difference between the [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] of a weapon system and the [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tier]] of its "host platform".+  * For weapon systems that use ammunition with different [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|tiers]]: the ammunition with the highest tier determines the overall tier of the weapon system.
  
-  * **//Capacity Utilized://** Specifies how much a single weapon system (of a certain [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|Tier]] Difference) counts towards its "host platform's" maximum weapon capacity.+  * For weapon systems located in turrets (like the [[stararmy:weapons:type_31_secondary_anti-starship_turret|Type 31 Secondary Anti-Starship Turret]] or the [[stararmy:weapons:type_32_medium_anti-armor_turret|Type 32 Light Anti-Armor Turret]]): each individual turret is counted as a single weapon system, regardless of how many barrels or weapon systems the turret itself contains. The turret's tier is determined by the highest-tiered weapon system equipped on or within the turret itself.
  
-^  Suggested Maximum Weapon Capacity  ^  =  ^  8 Same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|Tier]] Weapons  ^ +  * For missile launchers (like the [[stararmy:small_craft:kuma_t8_multi-role_shuttle:ke-t8-w3101|Mini-Missile Launcher Pod]]): each "launcher" is counted as a single weapon system, regardless of how many missiles it can carry or launch simultaneously. 
-^  Absolute Maximum Weapon Capacity  ^  =  ^  10 Same-[[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|Tier]] Weapons  ^+
  
-^  [[guide:damage_rating_v3_quick_reference#tiers|Tier]] Difference  ^  Capacity Utilized  ^ +  * Bombs and torpedoes deployed from a small craft’s hardpoints (like the [[stararmy:weapons:ammunition:ke-z1_series_anti-starship_torpedoes|Anti-Starship Torpedoes]] launched from a [[stararmy:small_craft:ke-v9_nodachi_assault_fighter|"Nodachi" Assault Fighter's]] hardpoints or the [[stararmy:weapons:ammunition:ke-z2|Strategic Aether Bombs]] dropped from a [[stararmy:small_craft:ke_v10_mamushi_multirole_fighter|"Mamushi" Multirole Starfighter's]] hardpoints) do not count towards the weapon limits described in the previous sections.
