Reactor to shield ratio, factory to heavy cannon ratio questions

vastowen456

Does anyone know roughly how many heavy cannons a factory can sustain, as well as roughly how many shield generators you can have per reactors, ignoring everything else?

EX. 2:3 ratio of reactors:shields,
and
1:2 ratio of factories:cannons?
Something like that.

To give a bit more context, I'm currently building a box flagship, and need these ratios to figure out how many reactors/factories I need per section.

reactors:shields 1:2
medium cannons:factory 6:4
large cannons:factory 6:10

Large canon: 3:2 ammo factories

A good ratio for each is this (I am also adding crew)

Medium Cannon to Ammo Factory= 2:1
Minmum amount of crew needed for contiunous fire= 2. (With power mangament= 3)

Heavy Cannon to Ammo Factory= 1:1 or 1:2.
Minmum amount of crew needed for contiunous fire= 3. (With power mangament= 4)

Reactor Core to Shield= 1:1
Minmum amount of crew needed for contiunous shielding= 4 or 6.

Ok, so there are many opinions on this, but I will be listing the most cost-efficient ratios.

So for shields per reactor, if you want to have fast reloading of your shields do 1 reactor per 2 shields. But if you need more shields for less money you can do 1 reactor for 3 shields.

For factories per (large) cannons 1:1 is usually enough.
Any more and it becomes too explosive or taking up more money than it's worth.
For standard, it is 1:2.

Also, for railguns 1 reactor can power 10-12 accelerators If they have an efficient way of getting to the outer ones.

Oneye it can supply 12 with full reload speed
