Feel free to test the SPM yourself, Myst. Personally I say Minutes is a good way for the programmers to gauge skill speeds. The fastest firing attack (besides Hurricane) hits at exactly 100 SPM. If Wizet had done it by Shots per Second, it'd be alot harder (1.66667 SPS? o.o)
Who wants to have a skill at 8.5714 Shots per minute?
Also realize that the amount of FPS varies depending on how fast your internet is.
If you lag, you won't see every frame. You'll see a corrected display that moves at roughly the same speed.
I have never heard of any game using minutes to base an attack speed. I used to assume that this was how it was calculated, because that's how everyone else measured it. It's not accurate. I always found that Strafe was somewhere between 83 and 84 shots per minute. It's actually 83.7.
It's always done on frames, although to make it easier for players to understand, the time may be represented in seconds.
Fastest firing attack right now (booster on Fast (4) or Faster (3) weapon) is 36 frames. Our attacks are 43 frames.
This is getting way off-topic now, so feel free to PM me if you doubt what I'm saying.
