Now that the gause takes time to charge up we need a DPS mech assessment. Just like theres a total alpha attack damage number on each mech loadout we need a damage per second total. An alpha strike is all fine and dandy but if I can pump out more damage before you can alpha strike me to death I think the DPS is better. It would appear that the Gause is about equivalent to an Ultra AC 5 in DPS. In real game time play the gause is good for stealing kills i.e. getting that last hit in before anybody else can to get kill credit. Two Ultra AC 5s however give me a higher average damage score over longer engagements. Also you just need to be a little more accurate to keep hitting the same spot with the faster fireing ACs vs. a guase, i.e. gotta hit the same spot 3 times with AC 5 to be equivalent to 1 gause hit.
