ACE.Points

Per-prop armor survivability cost (scaled). mm is intensive (^1.4), HP is linear (^1.0).

Intrinsic cost of one configured round. Inventory count is not billed, but every weapon multiplies this value by its own delivery rate and threat factor.

Mounted charges use one tube-window without the rack hardware floor. Stored ammo remains free.

Mounted charge (scalable explosives / bombs family) -> scaled points. Prices the charge's REAL filler mass -- self.FillerMass, kg of HE, set once at spawn from the scaled charge volume -- as mounted ordnance via ACE.Points.ChargeCost. 0 for a filler-less/invalid entity.

Crew seat cost (scaled). Loader seats cost more than generic seats.

No description available.

Engine cost (scaled). hp is peak power (peakkw / 0.7457); fuel scales upkeep-ish value.

Share of the meta this pen defeats. The curve is continuous from zero with no minimum share.

Penetration the GATE judges a round by. HE/APHE payloads use their blast lethality reach because splash, module damage, and soft-target effects create combat value without literal armor penetration; HESH retains only the damage code's literal blast-penetration channel.

Guidance multiplier for a round (1.0 for everything but guided missile ammo). Public so displays can show the "x 1.5 guidance" factor instead of hiding it inside baseRoundCost.

Gun firepower cost (scaled). This is called once per gun entity; identical guns therefore add linearly instead of sharing or deduplicating the round cost.

ROFLimit is a pricing input and its trigger path must dirty points. LoaderCount is local to the gun, including loaders linked across contraption fragments.

Intrinsic value beyond direct lethality terms; shared by billing and explanatory readouts.

Candidate ordering is final weapon output, then per-shot score, then stable source order.

Penetration used for lethality: raw maxPen, but HE/APHE/HESH payloads floor it at a blast-equivalent so big fillers still register a threat even with token stated pen.

Returns nil for unknown materials so display code can fall back to live material data.

The three parts summed: the per-round "inside-armor damage" multiplier.

Lethality once the round is inside armor: base damage plus the hole it tears (frontal area x the type's damage multiplier, normalized so a 100mm AP shell = 1.0; HEAT uses its jet cross-section, not the shell body), plus the explosive payload it delivers (sqrt of filler kg vs a 6kg reference). Utility (smoke/refill) rounds return 0,0,0.

Prop -> (effectiveMm, maxHealth) for the armor term, or nil to skip. Skips ACF/ACE components and pods (they price in their own categories) and props with no armour or HP. Uses MAX armour/health (static design). Material ke/chem via the curated MATERIAL_EFF above.

Tube count caps sustained rack rate over the engagement window.

Public so readouts can tell a player when the priced-rate floor changed their bill, instead of leaving the window a silently duplicated magic number.

Build the plain pricing round from a gun/crate/rack BulletData table. nil if not a table.

Round score = threat * baseRoundCost.

Static sustained cadence. Magazine-aware (burst then mag reload) and loader-aware for non-auto classes. baseRps already folds in the gun's current wire ROFLimit (the adapter below applies it via ACE_GetGunConfiguredRps before calling here), so a low limit lengthens the effective cycle through this same math rather than being ignored.
