Ive got a question about DPS and skill level 5. I can't recall how DPS is calculated (I remember it being possibly # of turrets x crystal EM + Therm damage / RoF?) but maybe thats a more quick or elementary way of doing it. Im not sure if thats the official calculation.
Basically I'm using a phone app that uses my characters API keys. It enables you to fit ships similar to EFT and it relays stats and DPS and EHP etc to you. Ive noticed people taking ships with Focused Medium Pulse Laser II's or HPL II's and two heatsinks and ending up with 400-500 dps, yet when I do the same thing I get about 293 dps.
All gunnery skills relating to damage are level 5 except surgical strike 4 (3% additional) and Medium pulse Spec 4 (2% bonus). Cruiser is 5, Battlecruiser is 5, Command Ship is 5. Yet when I compare my fits to others, the App claims my DPS is almost 250 less than the acclaimed 450-500.
I'm not talking about specific ships, just any ship in general I end up with less DPS. I realize Surgical Strike and Med Pulse Laser Spec to level 5 would increase my DPS a bit, but is that really the only gap that makes mine noticeably less overall DPS?
Or is there the possibility of a miscalculation in the App?

If you're using Aura, it doesn't calculate skills for your fits. Don't use it if you want accurate numbers. |

The particular app Im using is called NeoCom, it seems very highly rated and It appears to have incredible features.
For the sake of gauging my DPS manually could someone verify the formula for me? |

People, being terribly insecure, consistently lie & exaggerate their DPS. Take any claims you hear with a ton of salt.

no experience with your app, most people's base of comparison is EFT or pyfa. also most dps references are with all level 5 characters.
also don't forget damage drones are typically included in dps numbers.
You gave no specifics so I used an Omen with an All Level 5 character in EFT using the details you gave:
All level 5
Manually reducing the Surgical Strike and medium pulse spec skill to IV to mirror your's only reduces the dps by ~20, to 522.
after further fiddling I figured out the issue. not only do you not include damage drones, but you are fitting FMPL IIs with t1 multifrequency, which with your skills results in 293 dps. an all lvl 5 character with the same restraints has only 306 dps in that scenario.

You're probably not using implants or a magnetar wormhole effect either. |

Dear OP: I'm using EVE Universe Neocom all the time. Take the Omen that was mentioned in this thread:
You give it 5x HPL II and 2x HS II. At all 5 skills, this gives you 354 dps with Multifrequency. Switch ammo to Imperial Navy MQ and it's 407. Add drones (3 hammerhead, 2 hobgoblin) and it's 542. Add ME-803 and RF-903 implants, then overheat and you're on 632 theoretical dps.
Will this dps be applied? Nope, it's just a theoretical figure, but as you can see, figures add up quite dramatically. |

So... Add in drones
Use Navy faction ammo to increase your laser DPS by 15% - or - Its not very reasonable, but use high tier pirate faction ammo to increase your laser DPS by 20% - or - Use conflag to deal a bit more paper dps than IN multi
Overheat, as you would probably do in a PvP scenario |
